Healing Sunburn: If you currently have open blisters i suggest that you see your doctor, or dermatologist. Until the damaged skin has peeled and stablized, i would suggest that you keep it moisturized. After it has peeled, and the surface is normal except for the pink color, you can put makeup over it to try to hide the pink. The color may take months to return to normal and in some cases may never normalize.

Sunburns are bad: Be very careful with sunburns--especially on your head. Use sunscreens and wear a hat. Let things settle down for now. You can consider ipl treatments once the tan fades.
