How do I prevent my sunburn from pealing?

Peeling skin from a sunburn is the body's natural way of ridding itself of dead or damaged skin.  The skin underneath is going to be a healthier batch that needs the lotion or aloe vera.  If you've started peeling, just gently remove the skin and apply lotion or aloe.  This is probably the healthiest way to allow your skin to heal.

Aloe. Try a lotion that is mostly aloe. I had a really bad sunburn, REALLY bad from head to toe when I was 14, kept me up for like 2 days straight. Didn't get any relief until I put aloe all over my body. Instant relief and it went away and healed SO quick I was amazed. Buy an aloe plant too. They are good for when you get a burn on your finger or a cut, you can break the leave in half and inside it's full of pure aloe, and it's pretty cool. It has pretty cool healing powers.

Drink lots of water and eat a well-balanced diet.  Use SPF lotion daily and stay out of the sun.

Vitamin E, one of the antioxidants, can be taken regularly as part of a daily vitamin and mineral supplement or spread as in an ointment on sunburn. Vitamin C is another antioxidant that will help prevent severe damage from sunburn and shorten its effects. Selenium is a mineral that will help fight sunburn.

TRy this; buy you a PUMICE stone,you should be able to find one at Wal-Mart,or your local pharmacy, soak in really warm water,then rub area with as much pressure as you can stand.Doing this every once in awhile will keep the dead skin from building up.Afterwards apply a lotion for dry skin with aloe.

Honest to God this works. My sisters and I do this all the time.\n\nGo to bed with a wet towel on the sunburn. Not "soaking wet" but enough that it keeps the burned area moist. if you keep it on all night, when you wake up the next morning, the burn should be either gone or greatly reduced.\n\nWhy? you are keeping the burned area moist, so it doesn't dry out. That is what makes it hurt so much, because not only is it burned but the skin is dry. This also takes the heat out of the burn. If you want to put on sunburn gel, you can do that too to take the pain away, but the wet towel will do that too. \n\nI swear this works. Good luck!!\n\nI am certified in first aid, and you do not want to put moisurizer on a burn. that's worst thing to do. It is very thick and the layer of oil holds in the heat, and it will make you hurt worse.

I think if you mean sunburn then i use Noxzema.....after it soaks into your skin squirt with water and it cools it again....i also wet towels then place them in the freezer until frozen and put on top.....i have 2 little girls and this is what i have always done...when the burn is better i use aloe vera to keep it from peeling but the Noxzema plus stuff keeps it from peeling anyway......this is the same remedy my grandma used on my momma yrs ago....try it..the only downfall is the Noxzema smell but my girls don't seem to mind it.....now if the burn is more serious then a bad sunburn,don't use the Noxzema!!!!

Lots and lots of ideas for aloe here, I will tell you the sure fire way to put out the fire in your sun burn. You need skin MOISTURIZER. You can get this in AVON RICH MOISTURIZER or go to Walgreens and pick up a tub of THERAPEUTIC MOISTERIZER CREAM.  This will relax the pull on your skin that is caused by a sun burn, it may even keep you from peeling. Most contain aloe, but even if it doesn't, it will definitely fix your sunburn. Sunburn dries and shrinks skin tissue, the moisturizer reverses that. I say this from personal experience and treating my family's sunburns.

As a redhead, i can only empathize with your girl.  Before i actually got smart and realized that my chances of tanning would be, well, near zero, i used to burn severely.  The only relief i would find was with Solarcaine Medicated Spray (Solarcaine now also have a spray with Aloe.)  It's the best!  I also used yoghurt and it helped.\n\nHere are some Helpful Sunburn Pain Relief Tips:\nIf the sunburn is severe and she is blistering, feel faint, or nauseous: see a doctor immediately. \nFor Sunburn Relief apply natural aloe vera gel every 4 hours. \nConsume 32 oz. of water initially and 8 oz. every hour. \nTake a cool bath for sunburn relief, and don't use bath salts, oil, or bubble bath. \nSaturate a washcloth with whole milk, and apply to affected area. Or just take a milk bath, the ultimate for sunburn relief. \n\nMore Sunburn Pain Relief Tips From Users: \nFor sunburn relief use a combination of vinegar and ice water mixed in a bowl. Using a washcloth, hold it to the affected area. Repeat this process for about 30-45 minutes. Then layer on 100% aloe vera gel. The first application of aloe should be rubbed in, and then layer it on top like a mask. \nAloe vera gel works great for sunburn pain relief. Along with aloe apply a moisturizer with coconut oil, alternating every few hours. Also for sunburn relief drink a lot of water, a liter of water within an hour of recognizing the burn. Put aloe gel on once or twice when you get home and at night before bed, and the next morning. \n\nGood luck!

I personally had severe sunburns when I was a child, and the best thing is today I do not have skin cancer...my parents used large regular tea bags in a luke warm bath and then I soaked in it along with using aloe vera whiched helped stop my skin from cooking. To help prevent skin cancer and other sunburns always make sure your child has sunscreen on when in the sun and also on cloudy days.

Slap yourself pretty hard where you think you are sunburned. If it hurts so band you fall to the floor then you have sunburn. Hey, it's works.
