What kind of things help sun-burn and skin peeling?

I got pretty badly burnt about a week ago all on my shoulders, chest and legs. I%26#039;ve been using after-sun and moisturiser but I was wondering if they%26#039;re was any other helpful things out there.|||Any moisturizer with aloe vera!|||Aloe|||sunblock, sunglasses, jackets, and umbrellas|||White vinegar. Just pour some on a towel and lay it on your burns. It really works.|||i find that palmers cocoa butter (lotion kind) works great for extremely dry skin.|||The key to getting rid of the burn is to release the heat from the skin, aloe straight from the plant is great to release the burn, any product that you buy from the store that has aloe in it will clog your pores and make it impossible for you to release the heat or the %26quot;burn%26quot; Try this Native American trick that works very well. Get some regular tea bags and brew them on the stove, after they cool, place the cool, wet tea bags directly on the burn, the tea will absorb the heat. If you don%26#039;t want to use that many tea bags, you can brew the tea, and dip a washcloth in the brewed tea mixture but, you need to know that it will stain your washcloth and it%26#039;s not as effective. As for the peeling, any kind of lotion that will help keep your skin moist will reduce the effects of peeling. Your skin peels when it dries out and dies.|||Aloe, either straight from the plant or the clear aloe gel.|||aloe vera gel it help and its natural do not get the menthol one that will burn alway green|||Moisturize at least once a day to try to prevent or minimize peeling. If your skin starts to peel a little bit, I would just cover it with moisturizer and that helps short term. It%26#039;s better than trying to remove the skin because if it already doesn%26#039;t look bad, why make it worse?





If it does start to peel a lot, keep moisturizing, and exfoliate once the skin isn%26#039;t so tender.|||just lotion in general. And drink a ton of water. the more you skin is hyderated the better it will take the sun and the less it will peel. Just keep doing what your doing and remember water water water.
