Leave it alone and continue moisturising, maybe gently exfoliating the areas you're burnt that's peeling might help but be careful it doesn't cause a reaction, if the skin still feels really sore wait a few more days.

You're welcome! And aloe Vera is really good for hydrating it too so it doesn't hurt as much. Lol I get sunburns worse then everyone so I hide away inside now like the pale person I am hahah. Yay, redhead problems lol! 💕

ALOE VERA is a miracle. If you can find the one that's clear, it works so much better that the colored. Anywho, as Shaye said, don't peel it, it will hurt more. Moisturize multiple times a day, and before going outside. Try not to have direct sunlight on those spots for long. Cold showers feel good too (:

Leave it alone, and I also suggest Aloe Vera gel. It will help the burn heal up, and it's cooling so the itching/any pain will go away. Make sure you put sunscreen on the area if you're headed outside again, you wouldn't want it to get worse!
