Reply:If you%26#039;re picking at it, stop picking at it. If it%26#039;s peeling on it%26#039;s own, then it IS getting better - it%26#039;s just that the road to recovery may be a very, very long one.
Reply:Aloe Vera works well. You could also ask your local pharmacist





And Wear sunblock next time!
Reply:i don%26#039;t know if you have tried lotion or a soothing balm. but that helps me.... if you have


sorry for not helping much.
Reply:Well it is peeling because the skin is dead and has to come off. But try to stay out of hot water it will only burn your skin further and cause more peeling. Try using a body scrub it will take the skin that is ready to come off. Just use it easy and dont scub hard, let the product do the work. And it should help. Make sure you are using a good sun screen so that you dont peel more. Hope this helps

You can only remidy the affects with moisturizers and staying out of the sun.
Reply:use aloe vera gel. it makes it better but i don%26#039;t think anything can actually heel the peeling. it always happens to me and goes away by itself in about two weeks
Reply:you can%26#039;t...you burned your skin beyond help and your new skin under it is sloughing off the dead skin, the best way to avoid this is not to get burned...Sunburn is cumulative and after a lifetime of exposure and burns you possibly end up with skin cancer... I know, I have fair skin and have lived most of my life in Florida and recently had three pre cancerous spots removed from my nose... I%26#039;m now 50... instead of trying to stop your skin from peeling, which you can%26#039;t do...I would help it along as much as I can with lightly scrubbing with a louffa sponge and body wash... then apply moisturizer to help the new skin... you%26#039;ll slough off faster and look better faster...


Aloe Vera Gel from Banana Boat is great for relieving the discomfort of sun exposure...


If you ever get really badly burned and need immediate relief...go to a drug store and buy Second Skin Gel Pads by Spenco, they will give you instant relief from severe pain and assist the healing process.... I%26#039;ve had to go that route before and I%26#039;m telling you them pads are wonderful...


Good Luck...
