Sunburn: You have basically killed the outer cells of your skin. By definition you have a second degree burn. You have to heal, nothing will make it go any faster. Now you are going on a beach vacation. Some words of advice, cover up! Your damaged skin may not be healed, new skin cells will be sensitive. You are at risk for skin cancer!
