The skin is peeling on the face.

Constant moisture. The skin peels because it is dead...the sun burned it off the top layer of you. The best way to minimize and treat pealing in constant moisture, in and out.
Drink ALOT of water.
Put on moisturizer on your face/body while your skin is still wet, this locks in moisture.
**You dont want to use a scrub until your skin is not burned or damaged. Wait till it is healed first.

i just had the same exact problem... What you need to do is first off try to stay out of the sun as much as posible until it all heals. And if u cnt put as much sunscreen as you can. Since peeling is a sign that ur skin is all dried out try to put lotion on the burned spots and the spots that peeling after putting lotion on for a while the peeling will go away but there will probably be a little discoloration from the peeling
Well that worked for me.. So i hope it works you.
good luck!!!!

I just had one of the worste sunburns of my life recently. lol. I totally know how you feel.
The peeling in normal, because that skin is dried out and dead, so it needs to be replaced with new skin. Let it peel naturally, don't force it. If you have skin hanging off your face or something like that, feel free to pull it off, just be careful, because if you peel some stuff that isn't ready to come off, you could make yourself bleed.
If you want something to help your skin and maybe even make you feel better (less pain) then get aloe vera gel. That is what I used. If you want, you can put it in the refridgerator, so it is cool when you put it on your face. It is really very soothing.
Good luck!

I've gotten some bad burns in the past, and since I go nude at the beach, they've sometimes been on pretty sensitive areas. I've used Lubriderm to keep my skin soft and moisturized after a sunburn, it it seemed to keep the peeling down a bit. Some friends use Eucerin for the same thing...both can be found at drug stores in the skin care section.
Good luck!

I feel your pain. My face is peeling as well and now I'm two toned. I've been trying to keep it moist with Oil of Olay but its not working.

there is "after-sun" gels that help. just type after sun gel into google and it will come up with all sorts of brands.
otherwise, don't expose yourself to the sun and let it peel... it's not going to be fun but at least you probably wont' burn as easily the next time...

Lots and lots of lotion for extremely dry skin. I like moisture therapy from Avon.
