So I got sunburnt 5 days ago. My shoulders and arms have been peeling for two days, revealing shiny light pink patches of new skin with flakey dry looking edges where the burnt skin is continuing to peel. i took a hot shower and exfoliated in effort to somehow improve the situation for when I have to show my shoulders at Mo's wedding in less than 30 hrs. I made new and bigger patches, and now the middle of my chest has also nearly completely peeled. It looks like I have a world map on my chest. If you google sunburn peeling skin, that's exactly what I look like... OMG.
I know that the rest of the skin has to peel off, because it's just dead, dry, brown skin floating on top of a newer skin that is still developing. If I continue to fuck with it and pick at it like a monkey, the patches will only get bigger. But if I don't, it's super ugly as is. I feel like the only way is to peel off all the skin so that there are no oniony edges... Then put makeup on the raw skin...
I see the difference sunscreen makes now. I never peeled like this even in Mexico. Goddamnit...
