I got a pretty significant sunburn Saturday, despite applying SPF 30 lotion every 45 minutes and after swimming throughout the day. I put the same lotion on my children and my husband and none of them burned. I had a pretty nice tan before I got the burn, and I don’t want to lose the color I already had to peeling. Also, I have a wedding to go to in the next few weeks and when I peel it tend to last forever. I have been using Aloe w/Lidocaine about four times a day since it happened. Does anyone have any tips to keep it from peeling?

I just got a mild to moderate sunburn on my face yesterday. I now know that I should have covered my face! But now that it’s after the fact and I can’t change the burn, I am wanting to know if anyone has any tips on reducing the redness from the burn. I know aloe is good, but the big thing of aloe gel that I had in my fridge is mysteriously missing, and I don’t want to have to go out and buy any of the cheap stuff and the good stuff I had is not cheap. I put apple cider vinegar on my face last night and this morning, and I also used some vitamin E, lemon, and some other blended oil on my face (I think that worsened it, but it kept it moist). I’ll stop rambling…any suggestions?
