So I went to the beach about two weeks ago and got a lot of sun. I'm just now starting to peel on my chest. What is the best thing to do to make it go away?
kckstartmyheart answered Monday August 7 2006, 9:12 pm: well you cant really stop it you kinda have to let it peel but to make it better put aloe vera gel on it. or vasaline but aloe vera works better i bealive. also dont pick it cause then you could end up trying the new skin. i hope i helped!

sheerblonde1022 answered Monday August 7 2006, 9:03 pm: There's no way to make you stop peeling. But you can put Aloe Vera gel on it to make it less noticeable and to moisturize it! (try getting the organic kind because the others have harmful chemicals and you may get reactions from it!) [ sheerblonde1022's advice column | Ask sheerblonde1022 A Question ]

remember just dont peel or pick at the dry peeling skin because you can get a scar and if you got a burn then it will turn into a tan later so if you peel the skin your tan will look funny. put some aloe vera or vasaline..try to moisturize your chest a lot like when you see it getting dry...it will go away soon just moisturize and then leave it alone..hope this helps!!

that will defintly help. That happaned to me to but be sure to apply alot of lotion to keep it moisturized and that will keep it from peeling. It will take about 2 days! [ bAhAmAmA0250's advice column | Ask bAhAmAmA0250 A Question ]
courtxrawr answered Monday August 7 2006, 2:48 pm: I would suggest you use Aloe.
I'm from Florida and I go to the beach quite often and get major sun-burn. I always use Aloe and it makes my skin feel so much better.
I would suggest you at least try it!
you can find Aloe in CVS ; Target etc.
