I was exposed to a lot of sun this week and I am peeling what do I do??!
Question: I live in sunny south africa near the coast, so I've had a lot of sunburns. I have learnt my lesson though, and take care to apply sunscreen constantly.
I would recommend you taking a bath with a bit of vinegar, it gets the burn out. Or when taking a shower, make the water very cool when you get in and slowly turn up the heat. This also relieves the sting a bit. Other than that, up your water consumption (very important) and drink sports drinks to replace lost electrolytes. And moisturize your skin often. Don't peel the skin! It will fall off when the skin underneath is healthy enough to protect you from further skin damage.
Hope it helps!

Stay out of the sun now. If your skin is peeling then you have burnt your skin & obviously did not have enough sunscreen on. The best thing you can do is to moisturise your skin a lot to stop your skin from drying out, however there is very little you can do to stop the skin peeling now, just always wear sunscreen & re-apply when in strong sunshine & you should be ok.
Nothing. Don't peel your skin. You just have to wait it out.
first, stay out of the sun for now. and did you put on sunscreen? cuz if u didn't u should. oh and for the bad sunburn. PUT ALOE VERA GEL ON IT!!!!!! you can find it easily at Wal-Mart.
