How can I stop a sunburn on my face from peeling?

I got sunburnt this weekend pretty bad on my face and i just want to get all of the dead skin off. Is there any exfoliant that is good for that? I use Proactiv to fight acne so I have sensitive skin. I don't want it to peel anymore so that my makeup looks normal. Thanks!

1. put some moisturizer. or u can also use petroleum jelly or vaseline if u have sensitive skin
2. Don't use an exfoliant! Keep moisturizer on it like a good after sun lotion. They are usually really gentle on skin and won't clog pores. If you want to remove all that dead skin, just gently slough it off with a wash cloth.
3. i use proactiv too, but if since you got sunburned use the cleanser really gently, cuz its an exfoliator and it might hurt. u can get an aloe moisturizer for your sunburn. that works really well to keep it from peeling. but look for an oil-free one so you dont clog your pores
4. aloe vera, aloe vera, aloe vera. it's completely gentle, doesn't sting at all, and cools the burn it protects your skin and keeps it from getting irritated. apply liberally as often as you like, and be sure to put on some before bed; before you know it, that sunburn will be gone
5. moisturize.. moisturize... moisturize
