Anyone know how to stop the peel & Itch?
 

AFF'ers, I was so sunburned that I am in misery right now peeling and itching...any ideas how to stop this? It has been a while since I have been in this predicament...I always kept a tan in Florida.

Aloe vera gel is the best thing I know of. I think Aveeno makes a bath soak product also. Good luck, that is miserable!!!

It's gonna peel because the skin is dried out. When you get a sun burn you need to keep the skin moist. That might help the itch too, but if not take an antihistamine if you can

Aveeno is great. Made with Oatmeal which naturally is anti itch

BTW can you take some pictures of yourself red and peeling and post them here please? :hypercoffee

Thanks...Benedryl & an Aveeno bath sounds like just what the Dr. Ordered.

Ditto kiddo: Aloe vera products if applied to a burn sometimes will keep it from peeling. Should help even if you'e allready sheddining like a rattlesnake :killinme

:hypercoffee You just want to see my tatoo:sshhh

Rhoni, I didn't see you at the late service today. You must have gone to the early one. We had a different speaker: Bishop Samuel Smith from AWCN. They both spoke on the same subject: The rich man and Lazarus.

OH it must have been the sunburn. lolololol

I have some Lotion with Aloe Vera...my arms and shoulders are giving me fits. I feel like a cat scratching on the couch:hypercoffee

You might try Claritin in the day time as it does not make you drowsy

OOPS...it was Smith that preached and Simison was the missionary. The sun got to me Big Larry. I was there, but I lost so much weight you didn't know it was me:)!

:killinme:killinme:killinme:killinme

What you laughin at Big Larry!:telephone

sorry! sunburn isn't funny.

IF you feel like getting out and going to the store....there is this blue gel called ICE. it has aloe vera in it also. it is GREAT!

I know you are probably long gone to bed by now but if you happen to read this try vinegar. I thought people were nuts when they told me this but I tried it and it kills the itch! Mix it w water 3 parts vinegar and 1 part water

My mom always used Noxcema Skin Creme on us growing up!
It cools the skin and helps the itch.

You shouldn't have to spend much on these products since I'm sure the burn only comes up to mid calf, and from elbows to wrists. :killinme

Actually, I'm sorry you're burned. The back of my neck is burned right now where I forgot sunscreen in Costa Rica, and it's very painful.

You are very funny Sister, keep up the good work.

It burned through your long hair????? Wow, that's a powerful Costa Rican sun!:hypercoffee

I actually had an updo one day, which is difficult considering the length of my hair.

Stay out of the sun.












vinegar can help some to take the burn away.

Ah...you never watched I Love Lucy......

stay out of the sun and avoid mexico, lol,dt:hypercoffee

That is my Mom's solution as well. :)

I have tried to avoid wearing sunscreen, but it just doesn't work. Last week I didn't put on any sunscreen, but when I got home I felt a burning sensation all over my face. I was even so careful not to go out in direct sun light. I would say play it safe and supplement it by wearing sun protective clothing and using Aloe Vera cream.

believe it or not a cool bath with vinegar added. May make you smell like a pickle but so what. It works.
