What to do if your facial skin is peeling from a sunburn?

I've had my face sunburned before and I have just delt with it. It seems this times its much worse than normal. I also have somewhere important to go tomorrow night and am not sure what I should do. I was thinking about using an exfoliating scrub or a microdemabrasion (sp?) thing that I have but I have no idea if it will make it worse. Any advice greatly appreciated.What to do if your facial skin is peeling from a sunburn?
Exfoliating and the microdermabrasion will only make it worse and could end up making scabs and scarring your face. Your skin needs to peel naturally because the skin underneath is VERY delicate and not ready come out yet. Aloe gel should help with some of the dryness.





Next time you get burned, follow these steps:





First of all, you need to take some Ibuprofin (if you're not allergic to it). It will help reduce the swelling and pain.





Second, take a very cool to cold bath--this will help reduce the damage that the burn did to your skin. It will also help with the swelling, pain, and redness. If you can't take a bath, get some ice and rub it on the burned areas.





Third, drink plenty of clear fluids and make sure you're keeping hydrated.





If you have blisters, do NOT pop them. This will not only hurt, but it can leave bad scars. Blisters mean you have at least second degree burns. Not good!





If you have a lot of blisters, especially if you have a fever or the blisters have pus in them, you need to immediately go to the doctor. You probably have sun poisoning. This is very dangerous and can make you very sick.





If your skin is peeling, do not ';help'; it along...don't peel your skin. That also can cause very bad scarring (I have a big scar on my nose from peeling it as a kid when I had a sunburn--I'm now 35 and the scar is still there!).What to do if your facial skin is peeling from a sunburn?
you should try some shear butter you can get that at a local cvs i belive
There is only one thing u can do and that is keep it moisterizes with a good lotion and stay out of the sun
Have you seen a dermatologist??? Or your doctor??? Have you tried aloe on your burns??? There is also a product called after sun, that has aloe and a lotion in it. It might help.
wear sunscreen next time and aloe cream makes it feel better
well the bottom line is black people not stupid enough to go outside long enough to get sunburn
use aloe vera lotion
moisturize it and let it peel naturally or go see a dermitoligist
I use Mary Kay Extra Emollient Night Cream or The Body Shop's cocoa butter moisturizing stick. I find a lot of aloe vera gels have alcohol in them. Next time try a homeopathic remedy (cantharis) to prevent blistering/peeling.
use aloe vera
yeah aloe vera does work very well.. or u can just use a moisturizer.. remember next time to wear oil-free sunblock when u go out in the sun





=] hope it works! good luck!

leave it alone, and don't pick at it. that will make it worse. before you go out, put a good facial moisturizer on.(like oil of olay) this will help the edges not peel any more. use a good liquid foundation, and apply makeup to avoid discoloration. You face won't look oily, because it is so dry from the burn, it will absorb all of the moisture.
aloe vera.
Honestly - this is what you need to do!





Este Lauder makes an ';after sun'; cream that is amazing. It smells like melon. Anyway, It will shop the peeling, and your burn will heal MUCH faster. I cruise alot, and burn and peel...this stuff saved my life!





By the way - all aloe vera does is to relieve the sunburn, and the pain. It does NOTHING for peeling whatever!
put vaseline all over your face for about 20 minutes or so, a warm cloth over that will help as well, then GENTLY exfoliate with a wash cloth, anything harsher than that will tear your all ready damaged skin up more. After you've washed it, add some more lotion, non oily so your face isn't too shiny and go easy on the make up.
Lots of aloe vera (apply it often between now and tomorrow night) and ride it out. May God bless and keep you.
NO SCRUBS





use noxema or aloe veraaaa


if its really hot then use ice cubes. it works
DUCT TAPE
keep your face moisturized, that will take the appearance of dry flakey skin away. and when you shower, use a body exfoliating sponge and gently go over the spots where its peeling the worst. its best to do it when your face is wet because then it wont harm the skin that isnt damaged.
Well use some aloe vera duhh.....ur welcome and start using it or u will ruin ur skin so yea.....
Don't use a scrub!! It will just make you more red and make the burn worse. Use aloe vera and moisturizer, also wear spf when you are going to be in the sun.. If you want the redness to go away before tommorow you should use after sun alove vera soothing gel, tinted moisturizer, and a good foundation. Good Luck!
