Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 8,311 | I was never warned about my skin post TX re the sun and I didn't burn on the outside very much during Tx and I never was one to burn in the sun and that hasn't changed now. Whenever I'm out I just use the stuff I've always used which I believe is a 6 or 8. I bike at the first crack of daylight and am usually home by 10 or 11 am at the latest and I've never burned post Tx. Just another view.
