Problem: Peeling Skin
So you no longer resemble a lobster. Now you're skin is beginning to peel, shedding dead skin cells everywhere.The best remedy for this is, of course, prevention. If a day at the beach got the best of you, however, the following solutions can be used either as soon as you've realized you have sunburn or when you start to notice your skin peeling.
Suggested Solutions
Take a cold shower or bath as soon as you notice your skin beginning to peel. The cold water will cool your skin and slow down the peeling process. Be sure to pat your skin dry with a soft towel, rather than rubbing.
To keep itching and scarring to a minimum, it's critical that you stay hydrated. Drink a minimum or 10, 8 ounce glasses of water a day. Boost your body's ability to stay hydrated by adding Hydration by The Beauty Chef to your daily regimen.

Problem: Streaky Tan
High five on the decision to avoid the sun altogether by self-tanning! While a safe alternative, sunless tanning can be a bumpy road full of mishaps. Orange hands, uneven color and smelly chemical reactions top the proceed with caution list.

An alternative or secondary recommendation is an easy to use self-tanner that has ingredients that are healthy for your skin.

A hot oil treatment once a week will do wonders as well.Warming the oils allows better penetration and absorption. Pure Fiji's Exotic Bath and Body Oil utilizes nourishing coconut oil and exotic nut extracts to soothe and repair even the most damaged hair.

This little bit of ‘stickiness’ is just enough to tame frizz without making your hair greasy. Try one of the yummy Hand Cremes by Caldera.
