Sonya & Joshua P	Hi! I have a pretty bad sunburn myself and I went to the doctor today (have blisters). Through the doctor and reading medical sites it says to avoid a lot of the "home remedies". This is not about beauty its about health. DO NOT PEEL the skin as its there for a protection and heeling and will shed when the time is appropriate. Also, just use Aloe & Vitamin E creams, a spray is best if it hurts to rub it in or the skin is too sensitive. Finally, drink LOTS of liquid and do not use soap on the burn especially if there are blisters. I totally feel your pain!! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

shortstuff	Use a dandruf shampoo like a body wash. Works wonders to stop a peeling sunburn!! Also if your looking to go more natural, aloe will sooth and heal, but not help the peeling, Mix a Tea Tree Tincture with almond oil, and massage it in to the peeling burn, this will help stop the peeling. (and just makeyour skin very healthy, and glowing!) Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Answer Fairy	In the future, the next time you KNOW you've got a sunburn, go soak yourself in a luke warm bathtub and add a half bottle of vinegar. It will take the heat out of the burn and stop it from getting as bad and burny. Ask your mom to help. Then, when you get out, put aloe vera everywhere.... again, ask your mom to help you out. Good luck. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Trinity K	DO NOT PEEL IT! The skin will flake off when the new skin underneath is ready. All you do when peeling is cause an awful discoloration in your skin, and the skin underneath is not always ready for exposure. The long term damage is not worth the "Beauty". I have an awful sunburn all over right now and I know what you are going through. Just keep applying aloe vera! I also tried the boiling tea remedy - it didn't work at all for me. Just allow it to run its course and in a couple more days you will have nothing to worry about. You are 10 years old - don't damage your skin so early in life! The "beauty" now will result in you being more subjective to skin cancer in the future. Use sunblock all the time, you still get a nice tan without the major sunburn! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

ConstanceMcKenzie	A friend once told me to use baby oil when you are peeling Rub it on. The best thing to do is if you get burned is to put the baby oil on when you first burn & everyday until the burn is gone. I tried it & it seems to work. Another thing my mother told be to do is when you 1st get burned rub vinegar on it. I know that may sound strange, but it seems to turn the burn into a suntan if you do it right after you are burned & continue to rub it on every 1/2 hour to an hour. It will also be soothing to the burn. Also get in a cool bath tub of water & put a little baking soda in the water & soak in the tub for about a 1/2 hour. This will stop the burning from progressing Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
