Sunburn!
Jun 11^th, 2004 at 1:44pm

Hiya,

A couple of weeks ago I had my yearly spring sunburn ritual, because I always expect my May skin to have an August sun-tolerance. Ouch.

I didn't think I burned my scalp, not much in any case. But I must have because lately I've noticed small flakes of my tortured skin peeling off. I don't have dandruff, I just have peely sunburned scalp! What can I do to minimize/hasten this peeling process?

Reply #1 - Jun 11^th, 2004 at 2:09pm Aloe vera gel works great when I burn my part. This will soothe the burn and help it heal. It does not harm your hair either - a real bonus. You can also try some jojoba oil on the burned area if you don't mind being a bit oily

Reply #3 - Jun 11^th, 2004 at 7:21pm It might work if the burn has actually healed but I would be hesitant to use oil on a fresh burn. Oil traps heat and any kind of oil (remember the "put butter on a burn" old wives' tale?) on a burn is a really bad idea.

Reply #4 - Jun 13^th, 2004 at 10:38am Thanks for the replies Any burn that I got has healed by now, so I'll try some oil on it tonight. I don't brush or wash my hair very often so any peeling skin has been undisturbed for a long time now. Time to start wearing a hat again! /Kate
