    If your skin has been burned, peeling is inevitable. But you can put it off for awhile and let the skin beneath the affected skin mature more before the affected skin makes its departure. By moisturizing your skin you can keep the burned skin from drying too fast and flaking away. Aloe based moisturizers are good, as are many other moisturizers. Another thing to do is not rub your skin while applying the moisturizer, just smooth it on and let it sink in, which will leave your troubled skin intact and unirritated. It goes without saying that you should avoid the sun as much as possible, or when you do go out, use a high level of protection or cover up. The longer you can keep this top layer, the less sensitive the next layer will be, and the less likely you are to get a more serious burn the next time you go out.
