does your skin turn red after a massage?
I had this experience twice when I have long massage (about two hours). Probably due to the extreme pressure on the skin. It did not itch or anything but the redness lasted for at least three days.
Have you guys experienced this?

Wow! 2 hours?!
I never experienced a massage that lasted that long! I don't think I could take it that long! I've only experienced 1 hour massages and I don't think there's a 2-hour massage in my area. Anyhow, I'm curious.
Perhaps it's the type of massage that you got that made your skin red.
Have a great MyLot experience ahead!

Your skin turns red during a massage because the friction of the therapist's hands on your skin increases the blood flow and brings blood to the skin surface. If your skin stayed red maybe you had just a slight reaction to the type of lotion/oil they used or and essential oil they might have used.

OMG! I had experienced massage for a long time but, even once, my skin didn't last that reddish for 3 days. Maybe your skin is so sensitive, otherwise, the pressure that was given is extreme like what you have said.
