Best "at home" remedy for peeling skin due to sunburn

My face is peeling HORRIBLY. My son is graduating from high school tomorrow and we are having a party on Saturday. Ive been moisturizing like crazy and its doing nothing. A coworker suggested mixing baking soda and water and making a paste and rubbing it on my face. Help lol!

Don't use baking soda on your face because it can be harsh.
Do get a gentle exfoliating wash/scrub. I use a Neutrogena Naturals one- not sure if they sell it in the stores anymore- take a look (i got it on amazon). But any gentle facial scrub will work.

You do need to exfoliate that dead skin off- but baking soda can be pretty harsh on skin due to it's PH

This.


Gentle exfoliation and slather your face with ultra moisturizing lotion in between. You may not get all the skin off, but it will definitely be better

I just like to peel, but I haven’t had a sunburn in years.

I would just gently exfoliate and then moisturize. You can do a good homemade remedy with salt (rock salt) and water. (The salt still needs to be somewhat rocky) I would then put on some lotion to soothe it all down.

Diaper rash cream like A & D lotion
years ago I had the worst sunburn of my life and this helped when I was peeling like crazy
Drink a ton of extra water you need to hydrate your skin from the inside out too
