I have burnt my back sitting in the sun. What can I do to stop it peeling.

I would use Body Shops Vitamin E cream and keep reapplying.

Hi Steph, I am completely agree with Norah about Aloe Vera to cool the redness down. I would recommend you to moisturise with vitamin E, which you can by in any chemist, Vitamin E is a good moisturiser and it regenerate damage skin cells, help the skin to heal.

Hi Steph. To begin with get a good quality Aloe Vera Gel - organic if you can, made from the whole leaf and at least 98/99% pure aloe vera. The best one i've come across is made by Higher Nature and is available on line or in some Health Food Shops. Apply it liberally to your skin. Your skin will literally drink it up. Just keep applying it. Get someone else to if you can't reach all areas but it is possible to reach most of your back with both hands if you access from over your shoulders and then from waist up. After a day or two you should feel that all the heat has gone and the redness subsided. As soon as you reach that stage apply lots of a moisturiser with good quality moisturising ingredients. I use a make called Dermaviduals which cannot be beaten for rehydrating the skin as it is made from skin identical ingredients that merge easily with and replenish our own natural oils. Their Hydrating Lotion N is great as it is like a liquid oil that you can spray direct on to the skin and it goes right in. Very easy to apply, quick to absorb and will help the skin to repair and regenerate. You have a week to get to work. No one will ever know. All the best.
