I have sunburn on my face and I don't want it to peel, have you got any ideas on how to prevent peeling or to reduce redness! I was wearing factor 50 but that didn't work so I put after sun on and it hasn't helped! Please share your ideas? Thanks!!

I don't think you can prevent that..but one thing that for shure will help you is yay aloe Vera gel.

This girl the other week posted coffee compress with cold coffee to stop the peeling. I just went through a rough sunburn & used extra dry skin lotion to keep it from looking yucky longer.

Aloe Vera helps. Especially with the burn. And sometimes to cover up the redness applying a little bit of makeup works (not always)

This is going to sound gross, but white or apple cider vinegar! It takes the heat/pain/itch out & fades the burn to a tan.

I recently tried this & it works like a charm! Just do it 2-3 times a day for a day or two (depending how bad the burn actually is) & you'll have a tan, no peeling & no problems!

Mustard is amazing for sun burns it decrease the irritation from the skin, once its dry wash it off with cold water and your skin will feel a lot much better :)

Aloe gel will moisturize it and prevent peeling.

Aloe Vera gel is good. Works very well.

Aloe Vera gel works great but make sure to put it in the fridge before you use it so that it cools the burn while treating it!

I use zum rub in frankincense and myrrh, and I love this stuff. After being in the sun all day and I start to feel red, I put it all over my face and anywhere else that needs it and the next day or even less than that my face isn't red anymore it's brown. I use it all the time for many different uses

Don't go out in the sun so much. if your peeling your skin is trying to get rid of damaged layers to replace with healthy skin. exfoliate and minimum sun contact for 3-4 weeks make sure you keep your face hydrated.
