It is better for the dead skin it peel off when it is ready so I wouldn%26#039;t peel it. Use aloe to help heal it (you can use the store bought made specially for sun burn or an actually plant). Keep putting on lotion too and it will get better.

cold water is the best/only first aid when you burn yourself - 20 minutes under the tap and no less. NEVER ice OR vinegar OR milk OR butter OR green tea OR mustard OR toothpaste OR sunscreen OR semen OR vaseline OR tomatoes OR vanilla extract OR yogurt OR sour cream OR egg white OR egg yellow OR lavender oil OR cocoa butter OR salt OR tea bags OR potato OR shaving cream OR olive oil OR baking soda OR banana peel OR petroleum jelly OR whipped cream OR avocado OR bacon grease OR corn starch OR turmeric OR lemon juice OR curd OR pickle juice OR soy sauce OR urine OR talcum powder OR mashed strawberries OR exfoliating scrub OR mayonnaise OR peroxide OR bleach OR deep heat OR ketchup OR red grapes OR hairspray- not until the skin is fully healed!





ibuprofen or aspirin will help but large burns are often accompanied by stomach ulcers, so tylenol/panadol is best for pain if you are gonna tough it out. drink plenty of water or energy drinks that don%26#039;t have caffeine (gatorade)





i would advise that you cover the burnt area with white soft paraffin (white petroleum) or aqueous cream bp. (check the links below and see if you can find a local equivalent). wash the burn and reapply every 4-6 hours - cover with cling wrap if you wish to cover with clothes - this will stop your clothes getting covered with paraffin and maintains the burn.





cling wrap alone is also ok if you can%26#039;t get hold of any paraffin. it acts as a protective artificial skin - helping retain moisture and protect from further damage and pain. cling wrap is cheap and clean off the roll. in Australia ambulances often use this when someone has been burnt. - please note that cling wrap isn%26#039;t always practical, like on your face.





aloe is good coz it remoisturises but that moisture can be quickly lost as the skin can%26#039;t contain fluids. so put aloe on, and then the paraffin on over the top. if there is broken skin leave out the aloe - just paraffin.

finally if you are really worried go to a hospital that has a burns unit or plastic surgeons. serious sunburn i.e. blisters (and all other burns) should be seen by a burns trained doctor or nurse.
Reply:I just use loads of aftersun, and then maybe a rich night cream or the little blue tubs of Nivea are good. Also aloe is brilliant, I have a plant and you can squeeze the aloe from the plant directly onto the sunburnt area.Also I leant from a Greek friend that if he gets sunburnt..! He uses plain natural yogurt.
