I just got back from Lake Tahoe. My skin was pretty nice until I got there. The sun burned up my face. and now my entire face is peeling and red. my skin looks horrible. School begins on September 5, will the peeling/redness go away by then? or what can I do to make it go away??

There’s no cream or lotion that will stop burnt skin from peeling off. This is part of the natural healing process. Suggestions include:
Resist the temptation and don’t pick at the skin. Allow the dead skin sheets to detach on their own.
Remove detached skin carefully and slowly. Don’t rip skin sheets off or you risk removing more skin than you intended.
Apply antiseptic cream to the newly revealed skin to reduce the risk of infection.
Consider covering up with clothing to stop other people from picking at your peeling skin.

or you can try Nozema. It's in a blue jar && it's like a cold cream. It's been around FOREVER.
The only other thing I can think of is Bactine. or anyother first aid spray. It hurts more though && I've never really liked it.
*If your sunburn hurts, you can refridgerate it before you put it on your sunburn spots, it's so refreshing. Lol.*

It's really good, and it should help your sunburn go away as quick as it can. Just remember to use sun screen next time. I hope I helped. <3 [ MelLeDisko's advice column | Ask MelLeDisko A Question ]

The best solution to peeling skin from sunburn is using Aloe Vera.. which you can find at most pharmacies.. Just rub it on your sunburned area and it will heal in no time!
trishieloo answered Wednesday August 30 2006, 3:23 pm: I sugust lots of aloe lotion or cream. Plus try to remember that the sun isn't really our friend so always use lots of sun screen? [ trishieloo's advice column | Ask trishieloo A Question ]
