Guest guest Posted April 11, 2002 Report Share Posted April 11, 2002 Try using the zinco again after the redness goes down. I got sunburnt a couple of weeks ago and it took a good week for the redness to go down back to my normal 'pinkness'. Currently I'm using the tinted zinco which covers the pinkness great and I'm still using the rosacure. I'm about at the 10 week mark with that and I'm very pleased. The sunburn set me back about two weeks I think, but now my redness has really gone down.
