it's going to peel, you can't really do anything about it. use aloe vera and lotion to mosturize it. for some reason, when i got sunburned, i put ice on it and it made it better. also i heard taking advil helps.

white vinegar
Reply:ALOE! Banana Boat makes a lotion with Vitamin E and Aloe that is supposed to help you not peel. Next time remember the sun block!
Reply:aloe vera works well, it gives a cooling sensation. If blisters form, you might want to get checked out. As for peeling skin, possibly moisturizing.
Reply:I don't know about the peeling skin, but Aloe Vera lotion, cream, etc... is the best for sun burn redness and burning. Good Luck, I am fair skinned as well, and I KNOW that hurts!

Reply:I don't know if the peeling can be stopped as you burned the skin. For the pain try Vinegar or Noxzema Cream.
Reply:Butter, good old landolakes, not margarine.
Reply:Doh! Well, the bad news is, it's going to peel. A sunburn is no different than, say, touching a hot iron briefly. It's a "superficial burn," meaning it only penetrates through the first layer of your skin.





But it's still a burn, and that skin is still dead. It'll have to peel away. You can keep aloe on it to help it feel better, and stay super hydrated. OTC pain killers will help with the pain. Once the redness and pain go away a bit, you can use a loofa or shower poof to GENTLY exfoliate the skin. But be very careful. That skin underneath is new and probably pretty unhappy with you already.





And FYI, May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month. If getting a totally painful sunburn doesn't make you more aware, I don't know what will! :) Good luck, get some SPF!
