3 weeks till wedding and peeling shoulders! Advice needed!

I got a sun burn last weekend and now my shoulders are spotty and peeling! My wedding is in 3 weeks! I have been using the loofah to exfoliate dead skin and it looks worse! What should I do! Should I go back in sun to tan the speckled spots? Does anyone have any remedies?

I think your best bet is slathering aloe on it!!!! I think you should be ok in 3 weeks though!

lots of aloe, lots of moisturizer, and lots of exfoliating!!

don't tan the peeled spots, they will likely tan a bit differently because it's 'new' skin and then you will be polka-dotted!!!!!

I agree! Son block from here on out until then!

CVS has this redness reducing cream...I got a nasty burn last weekend and I've been putting that on regularly, and only one shoulder is peeling a little

It is more of a lotion texture with aloe in it, and it definitely is helping

You will be fine in 3 weeks Im sure. Aloe Vera and exfoliation will do the trick. If you have any speckles you can always get a light spray tan or Neutragena makes a bronzing gel that is good & washes off in the shower.

A thick moisterizer - I'm a sufferer of sunburns - in three weeks you'll be fine - but stay out of the sun!

Light exfoliation - you don't want to rub yourself raw!

Do a sugar scrub and get a spray tan!
