It is possible for your skin not to peel after getting sunburn only if some steps are followed. The steps include, first you will need to shower or soak in lukewarm water. Then, moisturize your skin frequently with mild, unscented lotion. Check out http://www.wikihow.com/Prevent-Skin-Peeling-After-Sunburn for more information.

Im not a Dr but i know what works. After a sun burn your skin dies. So its going to peel. But you can lessen the peeling by. Taking alovera the plant and falay it so you have to parts the green side and the slime side. Now apply the slime side and rub it on your skin. The more the better it is for your skin. After that you want to extract the remaining heat from your
burn. So take a cloth and wet it having a fan helps and apply wet cloth to capture the heat and remove . Repeat many times . You are going to feel better and the burn will heal.

If you put aloe (the gel, you can get it at most grocery stores, i suggest keeping it in the fridge) just rub it on within the day of getting the sunburn and the sunburn will heal before it has time to peel

Actually no complete way. If you were a little burned you can minimize it. If it was bad, then you will peel no matter what. (I've had more sunburns than you can imagine) Luke warm and cool showers minimize the pain. In a tub or shower pour vinegar on the effected areas. It smells but it draws the heat out and minimizes peeling. Once you rinse off, use gel aloes---green not clear. During peeling Eucerin or Aveeno lotions are really good.

Yes, you can heal yourself. First, cold compresses on the burnt area. Pierce Vitamin E
capsules (tocaphorol base) with a sterilized needle, squeeze the contents on the affected area. Once I had such a bad sunburn it was blue - the Vitamin E treatment not only kept it
from peeling, it also took the heat and attendant damage away. Magic! Vitamin E is also
excellent for getting rid of facial lines.

try putting silver sulfadiazine on as soon as possible, not only for sun burns but for all burns, you will need a DR. prescription to get, or if you live close to Mexico you can get it there.

Ice Cold Bath and Aloe Vera, most likely going to peel. At least these two help with other symptoms.

Mix 1/3 cup of apple cider vinegar with 2/3 cup of water and spray (or pat) this solution on your clean skin 3 to 6 times a day, or as often as you want. It hydrates the skin, therefore reducing the peeling. You might think you'll smell like a salad, but most people won't notice it at all once it dries on your skin.

well use aloe or the stuff from a cactus so it doesn't burn but don't peel it also if you have a blister from it use a tea bag dip it in not very cold water and then place it on the blister hope this is helpful.
