I was told that the sunburn relief stuff at the pharmacy just makes your skin peel and id rather not have my skin peel so is there another way to just make it heal faster?

If you are blistered , you will peel , it is called burned for a reason it is the same as if your skin has been burned or blistered by a fire , only time will heal it just find something you can put on it to be comfortable such as aloe or other sunburn with pain relief type of lotions or sprays...the peeling depends on how severe the skin is damaged or burned .

Burns respond well to Aloe Vera juice. It is best if you keep a plant so you can clip it and apply the liquid directly to the skin. If you don't have a plant think about a neighbor who looks like they have plenty and ask for some aid.
If this is a serious sun burn it is still going to peel depending on how dark your skin is naturally. My skin does not ever peel from a sun burn. But, if you have a light complexion you should know that even one serious sun burn can increase your risk of skin cancer by 50%.
Confirm this with your doctor.

Try making a bowl of ice water with about a 1/2 a cup of white vinegar in it. Then soak a rag in the water, wring it out, and lay it over your skin. Re-dip the rag when it starts to get warm. It helps the burning feeling. Do it again if your skin starts to feel like it's burning later. And next time, wear sunscreen!

Yes, live through it and stay out of the sun. Peeling does not last always.

Cider vinegar or menthol shaving cream will help relieve the pain. "Sunburn" = skin damage, you will peel no matter what you do.

Go buy a bottle of aloe vera gel. Keep the aloe on it & you will feel better.
