What should I do with my scaly sunburn skin?

Once your sunburn goes away, do you have a tan or is your skin back to what it was before the sunburn?

  • cause currently, im on vacation in south carolina, and I got a MASSIVE sunburn on back. once it goes away will I have a tan?

  • Answer:

    ♦ Mine personally turns to a tan, but some people just peel really bad, after a sunburn, and turn back to the skin color they were before.

use sunscreen forreal. i was so bad about that, i always thought that if i used it i wouldnt get tan. WRONG. if you dont use it you get burned and thats not what you want. if you want to be tan then use the sun screen because other then that its just skin. thts why it peels.

You are tanner but its better to not burn because then you are more tan

depends. usually it is just slightly tan after wards. check out www.webmd.com

no, when you get a sunburn the top layer of your skin is burned, which then later on after the skin under it heals, the dead skin cells peel off and your under layer of skin which now becomes the top layer was never exposed to the sun, so it is the color of your skin, that is until you expose it to the sun and get a tan again

That depends I know really white people who don't really tan, they just burn bad I'm not that white, so when I get a bad sunburn, if I moisturize it and dont touch it, it turns into a tan.When I get a regular sunburn, it always tans.

depends how bad the burn was after the redness fades and the pain stops it'll be really tanned but if you didn't moiturize or if it was deep enough the skinn will flake off and you'll be pale white or worse it'll be patchy and some really tanned and other spots really white

Honestly, it really depends on your skin type. Me, no I don't tan after a burn. I get more freckles then go back to being as white as I was pretty much. A lot of people do tan after they burn. You'll have to wait and see. :)

that depends on if your really pale or not. if you are pale, you won't tan, just burn. If you have the ability to get dark, it will turn into a tan

You may have a little color but not as much as you would had you not gotten a sunburn. Always remember sunscreen, looking sunburnt is never cool or fun!
