I have a sunburn but I don't want it to peel?

Question

Its not a bad sunburn but I just really don't want it to peel! How can I prevent it from peeling?

Answer 1

keep it moisturized!! aloevera works well to help soothe, but it really doesn't matter what you use. keep applying moisturizer all throughout the day...theres no such thing as too much. anytime you notice it feeling dry or flakey, apply more. this should prevent it from peeling.

Answer 2

when skin peels its natural thats the dead skin leaving ur body. There is no way to stop this process, its suppossed to happen! But u can treat dead skin so it doesnt look like a Crocodile while it heals, try "Nivea Creme" put this cream on at bedtime, lather it up in the morning u will be soft as a baby & the skin will heal quickly! This product was featured on the Tira Banks show its also good for cellulite and stretch marks Good Luck! -Nay
