1. exfoliate with a mild scrub, or use alpha hydroxy facial cream. or both.
2. I feel your pain. I, too, and a burner, not a tanner. Probably half your face burnt worse than the other half. The less burnt side will peel later if it does at all. I would use aloe vera gel. It moisturized your skin, so it will make the other side less likely to peel and make the peeling side less noticable.
3. My face just finished peeling today and it took three days to finish. Use aloe vera or lotion to help it heel better and to look less noticable but not faster. I Just be patient. itll go away. And DONT peel it yourself. itll grow back and peel again. and then youll have to go through it all, again.
4. Use a good face moisturizer daily. I personally like Eucerin. It says it relieves extra dry or chapped skin!
5. spread cow urine on it
6. well, aloe gel is thick and moisturizes and will kind of make the peeling skin not as visible and will sooth it. but in the future, use aloe gel right after you know you are burnt to prevent peeling and to help get rid of the redness faster. if you find this does not work, the one time when i did not have aloe gel i took regular scotch tape(clear or anyother kind) or you can take anykind of tape you would use for, like christmas presents. i put it on the edges of the peeling spot and ripped it off. i know it sounds weird, but it is the best way i can get rid of it. don't rub it, or exfoliate if your skin was burnt or you will irritate the skin!
7. Just let nature take its course. Your face is very delicate, so dont go tearing shreds off it. You will peel in a couple of days. As far as I know there is nothing you can do about speeding up the process. If you peel the skin off before its reading to come away, you could end up damaging your skin and the healing time will take longer. Just keep it moisturized and next time remember the sun block :)
