Does not skin tend to get drier with mtf HRT?

How about thinner?  If subcutaneous fat increases with mtf HRT, maybe skin looks lighter wth more fat under the skin as opposed to more muscle under the skin?

If skin has less body hair, would it appear lighter for that reason too?

I can attest to the skin getting dryer. I don't know if lighter and thinner hair would make the skin look lighter. I've seen some pale people with dark arm and leg hair.

That is all that I know first hand. I guess I will find out in the next few months.

I have been on E 18 months.  Yeah a little bit lighter but not dramatically.  It is noticeably softer and the reduced body hair is nice.  I only have to shave it every few weeks now instead of once a week. 

The tone difference is more on my body than on my face - wish it was the opposite.

My family told me that it has. But I just think it my face mostly got softer and clearer. Also laser and beard shadow lightening up helps too.
