My redness appears hours later and lasted a couple days :-(
I wish I knew about this prior to starting. I guess the only positive is that I dont consistently get sun burns.
Eilenn,
I diet, exercise, and work out consistently. I do not smoke. I dont put any chemicals on my skin and from what I know nobody in my family ever had skin cancer. I guess I am falling prey to the scare tactics, but as unity pointed out to me I did burn which is never any good.
