In a general sense, yes it does.
The reason is because your skin continually sheds its outer layers of skin. As your skin darkens during the summer months, you will most likely experience a "lightening" of your skin during the winter months. This is because of the fact that during the colder months, the sun forces less melanin to darken your skin because the strength of the UV rays of the sun are diminished during these months. So as these colder months stretch on, your skin sheds skin cells and new cells replace them. These new skin cells have not yet experienced UV radiation penetrating them, so they are lighter. After a while, enough of your older, darker skin cells will be shed and you will appear to have a lighter complexion.
But, in a technical sense, your skin itself does not "become" lighter. Your skin is a certain color when its cells are created. Your skin only then changes color to darker shades depending on how much you expose it to the UV radiation of the sun. So in a technical sense, when its winter time, your skin actually "returns" more to its unaltered color.
