 cool down a bit, and then turn into a tan. Same here. I've seen the same thing. Growing up, I used to burn all the time, and once I started using this aloe, it's amazing. I'll come in cherry red looking like I'm going to burn, and it's going to peel, and it's going to be really bad, and then it turns into a tan overnight. I don't know how it does it, but it does it, and I'm glad. It's the best thing I've seen. It's an amazing plant, but of course it's not hardy.
