Can I do anything to prevent or reduce sunburn peelings?

I have several parties coming up next week where I'll be wearing strapless and sleeveless dresses. But last Thursday I got a rather nasty sunburn covering my neck, shoulders, arms, back, and upper legs. The sunburn on my arms have started to fade on their own, but I know my shoulders will peel and will peel quite a bit.





Before my skin starts peeling, is there anything I can do to prevent that or to make it not as bad? Maybe a lotion that helps reduce the obviousness of a peeling sunburn?





I'm quite desperate, so any help on this matter is greatly appreciated.

yes. use cocoa and shea butter mosturizing lotion by SUAVE. you can buy it anywhere i think and reapply a lot. but at least three times a day it should help! have fun at those partays! ;]
Reply:put the cetaphil that comes in a jar on all over your burns right when you get out of the shower and your still wet its kind of expensive but it really helps :D
Reply:Use aloe Vera from the plant, cut a leaf open and scrape the gel out and apply to sunburn, it will be better than anything you can buy as the other stuff may contain alcohol which may not do that good, Find out ab it more about aloe Vera on my blog http://basicbeautytipsatblogspot.blogspo...
Reply:aloe will reduce it a little but but since the skin is dead it will peel no matter what and if it dosn't that is unhealthy. you can use a sponge to gently rub off some of the excess skin but don't do it too much, the skin under is sensative. and please please use sunscreen next time. sunburns are sooooo bad for you.
Reply:It may be too late now but always take ibuprofen after you get too much sun. It helps with the inflamation, which in turn causes the bubbling of the burn. Soaking in a milk bath and applying aloe and just keeping it moisturized. I use Nivea creamy conditioning oil. If it is already pealing that will help your skin look soft and not quite so "peely." It is a bit oily but will do the trick better than a lotion.
