When people sun burn they tend to peel 3-4 days later. This is how to rid of the peeling skin quickly.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Duct tape and Skin toner of any kind.
  1. Step 1

    Take your duct tape and cut off the appropriate amount for the peeling area. Apply over the area anyway you like. Pull up on the tape the direction the skin is flaking off. Kind of like when you are shaving. You'd go against teh grain. If you wish, afterward, apply lotion. Whatever kind you prefer.

  2. Step 2

    Repeat as needed.

  3. Step 3

    When you are satisfied take your skin tones and go over the area you just treated. I found this will take off any excess flakes and clean the skin in that area. If you wish, afterward, apply lotion. Whatever kind you prefer.

Tips & Warnings
  • You may have to do this the next day. Feel free to do it as needed till the dead skin is gone.
  • If the skin is freshly peeling off, the toner may burn a little. Just blow on it or discard.
