Soothe and moisturise
A plain, water-based moisturiser (such as sorbolene cream) can help to add moisture to the area and minimise peeling and flaking. Spray-on solutions can also offer relief without the need to rub the skin by hand.
Should I put moisturizing cream on sunburn?
As soon as you get out of the bathtub or shower, gently pat yourself dry, but leave a little water on your skin. Then, apply a moisturizer to help trap the water in your skin. This can help ease the dryness. Use a moisturizer that contains aloe vera or soy to help soothe sunburned skin.
