Are there alternatives to aloe to prevent skin from peeling due to sunburn?

Clinique has a miracle after sun emergency gel. It feels great and if you start fast enough you will not peel even a little bit. it actually progresses the burn to a tan amazingly fast. we buy tons of it and give as gifts during the summer.Are there alternatives to aloe to prevent skin from peeling due to sunburn?

Are there alternatives to aloe to prevent skin from peeling due to sunburn?
There's a spray called solarcaine, it relieves burning sensation and moistureizes. I still think aloe is the best. Once you start peeling it's too late. When you get sunburnt you need to get the aloe on and keep it on, especially right after showering. Also avoid sweating as much as possible, the sweat doesn't pass threw the burnt skin as easily and causes peeling. NOT ALL ALOE IS CREATED EQUALLY, somewhere on your bottle it should tell the % of actual aloe, you'd be surprised some barely have any. good luck, next time just put on some sunscreen even lower spf's will help a lot
Scentless lotion with moisturizing properties should help with the peeling but I wouldn't say prevents it.


Peeling is a natural way for you body to get rid of the dead skin after sunburn.


It's how you heal.
I've had good experience with calendula cream. While it does not have the cooling effects that aloe has, it's definitely better than aloe in terms of moisturizing and healing. The brand I use is Jurlique.
you can put milk of magnesia on it. you can buy it at any drugstore. it will prevent peeling and take the red right out :) hope that helps.
milk might be able to give you some relief from stinging, but not necessarily helping your skin to regrow....
Try everything balm. Just google it. It works amazingly!!!
Sticker paper can help relieve sunburned skin.
i like to find out myself, my skin burn really bad when i am out side at the sun
