How can I heal a peeling sunburn?

Tigerrrr Asked by sarahhhhh about 1 year ago, 6 answers.

What's up guys?

So, I'm a very outdoor oriented person, and always tan easily, being half Brazilian. I'm freaking out because about a week ago, maybe less, I fell asleep while laying out by my pool. I got sunburned but every other time I burn I go...

straight to tan. This time I'm PEELING!! I've sprayed Apple Cider Vinegar all over myself, and heard lotion is a bad move. The skin is slightly discolored, but I hear that's temporary? Once I stop peeling, can I go and re-tan the areas that peeled off? It's mainly my back, and tiny, fingernail sized spots on one of my shoulders

I don't like this!! I always use good sunscreens, but how can I take care of this? It's in the middle of my back.. kind of a hard spot to reach.

Heellpp mee!!

I burn all the time--- there is some lotion out there that my sister gave me last time I peeled forgot what it was- but it exists. Go to one of those lotion places at the mall- I'm sure they will know.

As much as you may want to pick, pull or scatch the skin, DON'T. That will just make the raw skin underneath come out too fast, leaving you in greater pain than the sunburn and the possibility of infection.

Don't use any thick, creamy lotions, that just suffocates the skin. You could use moisturizer to get it off, but keep in mind that the raw skin underneath will hurt (trust me I know, I put aloe vera on raw skin).
Mostly, you should just cover it up with a shirt, it'll take about a week to go away.

You should probably wait on the tanning thing too. Right now, and after you've healed, your skin is more sensitive than it was before you burned.
