Why is Boimler so pale even though he grew up on a vineyard? - eviltoast

Is Federation sun screen just that good? Does the standard Federation checkup include un-tanning? I am at a loss for any explanation.

    While a part of me has every confidence that young Boimler would be depicted as equally pale, tans fade away if not maintained by lifestyle or choice, and Boimler has been in Starfleet for a bit now.

      This feels like the most reasonable answer, honestly. I hadn’t considered it because I live in the Southwestern US and often get a lot of sun exposure.
