Ok first off the sunburn is not going to be gone asap!. Depending on how burnt you were/are, it could take up to over a week for it to fully go away!. Being that I have red hair and a light complexion, I am all too familiar with sunburns!. I am actually recovering from one right now!. I got this sunburn this past sunday and I am still alittle pink and peeling!. The best thing I can say is to go purchase some aloe vera and put it on your burns!. If for some reason you cant afford to go get it, i know better than anyone that times are really tough right now, make sure that you are putting a hydrating non scented lotion on it!. And I know some lotions have glitter and things of that nature, STAY AWAY FROM THEM!!!! That could just irritate it worse!. Another thing I will tell you is to drink a lot of water!. Your skin is sucking up all your fluids because it is so hot and dry!. You may notice that your skin is really tight!.

Also one more thing, if you are peeling, try not to sit and peel your skin!. This can sometime cause scaring if the skin is not totally ready to come off!. Just let it come off and maybe use a washcloth really light on it in the shower!.

Good Luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Unfortunately, there is no medications that will make the sunburn disappear just like that, I would suggest taking Vitamin E, it helps heal the skin!. It wont get rid of it fast it will just help it get better!. You could always mask the sunburn, with body makeup or something like that!. Aloe Vera doesnt get rid of the sunburn, it just masks the pain!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

go to target, or a place that sells lotions, look for the brand hawaiian tropic, they have some nice stuff for not too much!.!.!. and it does have aloe vera in it, and some of it even helps to hold your tans :D


good luck =]


Hot showers are supposed to help too!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I've heard putting a mix of vinegar and water on it helps soothe it and make it go away!. I think once you are peeling, there isn't much you can do to help it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

you really need to go buy some neosporin or vaseline or aloe vera or vitamin e to prevent any infection from forming and scarring plus these will help speed up the process of peeling!.!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
