Skin peeling after a bad sunburn?

[Anonymous]

I went to the beach this weekend with a decent base tan from the summer. I did wear sunscreen but the sun was really strong and I still burned. Now my forehead, nose, and shoulder are peeling. It looks like I have leprosy. I have a habit of peeling my sunburn skin, so I made it worse. I go back to the beach in two days.. Should I scrub my skin before so that the dead burnt skin is gone and I can tan the new pale skin? Or should I let it run it's course and still tan at the beach? I don't want to hear "you'll get skin cancer" blah blah blah. My dad is a doctor so I get this lecture enough.

Peeling after a bad sunburn is just really getting rid of all the dead skin from the sunburn. The best thing I can think of is using lotion with aloe and put it on when needed. That works for me and everyone I know. Hope it works out... https://tinyurl.com/399z4cr

Just ask him to apply creme, but don't peel it or scrub it.

Use Aloe Vera
