How can you deal with a peeling sunburned skin?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Keep skin moist: You will want to avoid further sun exposure. Keep your skin moist - an aloe containing product tends to be very soothing. Shower or bathe with water that is not too hot. Try not to repeat the sunburn!

Sunburn : Fragrance free moisturizing cream and Hydrocortisone cream for any mild redness or itch for several days may help. Avoid any sun exposure until the area has healed.
