There's a common misconception that all sunburns result in peeling skin. In reality, peeling varies from person to person – some people may not experience any peeling at all, while others may peel severely.
Peeling is more likely to occur when the sunburn peeling is severe, and it's usually more pronounced on the face and chest. You can do a few things to promote peeling, such as using a moisturizer or taking a cool bath, but in most cases, the skin will peel on its own given time.
You can use an aloe vera gel to soothe your sunburned skin. This way, you can avoid skin damage because of harsh UV rays. You can also reduce peeling or stop peeling from happening if you apply aloe vera.
