Every day until then, before you take a shower, rub apple vineagar on your sunburn. Let it sit on there until it gets dry. Then take a shower. Take a warm/hot shower. Taking cold showers closes your pores with the burn in them. Hot water does the opposite. The heat may hurt for the first minute, but then it will feel good because some of the burn will be coming out. After your shower, put on pure aloe mixed with aloe and cucumber lotion--it doesn't have to be cucumber, though. Reapply the aloe mixture and at least three times a day. It will not peel and you will have a nice tan. as for the famer's tan, I suggest a good spray on tan, or, talk to the bride about a longer sleeved dress, even though it will probably be a little too late for that. hope this helps.

I hope you cooled it down after you burnt, the would have helped. Apply a lot of moisturiser, and er.. apparently if you crush some tomato and put it on there as well then that helps. If there's a drastic difference showing between redness and normal skin colour you could try applying make up to lighten it, or tan rest of the skin to try and make it blend in. I'm not sure how well that would work though...

Aloe vera. There is also a bottle of gel you can use called Ice Blue. I don't know what kind of stores are around you, but it is at stores like Target, Wal-Mart, Meijer or any other department store. It makes the burn feel much better and it will go away in about 3 days. It will peel regardless, but not until after about a week and a half

If it hurts you can apply Solarcaine aloe burn relief spray. Aveeno makes a bath that contains colloidal oatmeal. On the box it will say soothes sunburn (blue label). That will relieve any itching which may help you not scratch and peel it. Obviously you can keep an aloe gel on it as well. Hope that helps.

No, your skin will peel off, leaving more pale skin underneath. This is after you deal with several days of peeling. Of course, some people are lucky and get left with a tan. But not if you have 'very fair' skin. You should use sun screen to prevent it. Seriously, isn't that obvious? Be proactive.

you need to use an after sun lotion called ocean potion instant sun relief ice and maybe go to a tanning salon that air brushes on fake tan, they will be able to avoid tan areas and tan the area you need to blend with. moisturize!!

get some aloe and rub it on. Then get some bronzer and blend it in. There are tinted lotions you can buy too. Make sure to let it dry completely before you put your dress on!

A professional spray tan. You'll cover the flaking, look beautiful, and not damage your skin trying to look that way in the first place.

She said peel not pee!
Erm... Using aftersun may help, just keep your skin hydrated really. I'm not to sure, I always use aftersun really soon after I get a sunburn.
