Anti Aging Skin Tips

HELP! Any quick and temporary remedies for face peeling from sunburn?

My face is starting to peel from a sunburn I got a couple days ago, and I'm going to an interview in a few hours. Any suggestions on what I should put on my face before I go so my skin isn't falling off?

1. moisturizer? but they say not to put butter on a burn, so not sure if that will make it worse or not..
2. A good facial scrubbing soap should help because it removes your dead skin cells
3. Lotion --unscented or aloe would be best. (I'm very fair and burn so easily, believe me I know, you really just have to be patient because too much rubbing will hurt the burn underneath)
4. Exfoliate! Try St. Ives Apricot Scrub. It may hurt a little bit as you're burnt, so maybe try the sensitive type. After that, try a moisturizer.
5. soak your face in warm water and vinager 30 minutes or so before the interview then pat your face dry and you should be good for about 2 hours
6. There is no immediate cure for sunburns, but the pain can be relieved by hydrating the skin. This is done by applying products containing aloe, vitamin E, or both. Do not use any products with lidocaine, as it can prevent healing and damage skin. Drinking fluids can aid in hydration, and eating high protein foods will assist tissue repair. Analgesics such as acetaminophen (e.g. Tylenol) or ibuprofen (e.g. Advil) can also reduce pain. One method to treatment involves applying a clean washcloth soaked with cool milk like a cold compress, since the lactic acid will help reduce inflammation and the cool towel will soothe the pain. Blistered skin, with or without open sores, should heal on its own. As with any other open skin wound, it is best to avoid lotions or other directly applied ointments. However, antibacterial solutions and gauze can prevent skin infections. The best treatment for most sunburns is time. Given a few weeks, they will heal. Overall, the most important aspect of sunburn care is to avoid the sun while healing, and to take precautions to prevent future burns.
7. Gently wipe your face with a moist washcloth. Then, moisturize with any oil-free face lotion (Neutrogena and Purpose brands are good). Unfortunately you can't stop the skin from peeling off but this should make you look unpeely for your interview.
