Yes it is a thing. I am hard to tan burn only. My first week on HU I didn't think it would hurt didn't realize that after 4 days the HU would cause me to burn. But I wore a tank top to help move some furniture with my family it took about 4 hours well my arms and shoulders got red not much but I learned that lesson fast. I have already had some pre skin cancers removed. I too bought some of the long sleeve shirts with SPF for the summer. Good Luck

Oh gosh, I live in Florida (all my life) I dislike sunscreen intensely. Of course at 79, I have had several pre-cancers and cancers, frozen, biopsied, or removed. I guess I am not in any danger cause I could not be in the sun for four-hours, without getting too hot. I do love to water and still swim every day.
