Still, northerners can't tan so easily as southerners. Even if they are dark haired, they burn quicker.

i had an english teacher who lives here in greece and her skin follows the same paterns of colour changing depending on season everybody else did, with the minor difference that the base of her colour is somehow yellowish while for most greeks is usualy pinkish.

also, i am not sure if its about actual differences of the skin, or if the skin of an individual is "used" to the sun somehow.
because lets not forget, that taning isn't caused by laying down in the beach waiting for the sun to colour you, its about the amount of "energy" the sun sends down to you every day and how your body handles it.

i will post some pictures some day to explain that :P
