What should I do if my skin peels from sunburn?

Avoid further direct sun exposure. Gently apply a cold compress to the affected area to relieve pain and reduce redness and swelling. Apply sunscreen and moisturizer to protect the skin from additional damage and promote healing. Drink plenty of water to maintain adequate hydration both internally and externally. Increase intake of foods rich in vitamins and antioxidants, such as fresh fruits, vegetables, and nuts, which can help improve skin condition. If symptoms persist or worsen—such as ongoing redness, pain, or itching—seek medical attention promptly.
