Help! Sunburned and Peeling

I am a bridesmaid in a wedding this weekend and I just returned from a long weekend in South Beach and my shoulders and neck have turned from bad to worse. What was once a beautiful bronzed glow has turned into a peeling nightmare. How can I cover up the peeling to match the rest of my skin so I dont stand out as Im walking down the aisle on Saturday? Has anyone used cover up or that new Sally Hansen Airbrush in a can? Any suggestions?

Try to gently exfoliate in the shower- also tons of aloe vera.
Good luck!

I tried the Sally airbrushing makeup its not what you might think I would'nt reccomend it. I heard that an asprin helps with sunburn. When I was a kid I was ALWAYS sunburned my mom used to put solarcane on my skin. I don't know if they still make it. You can find it in the drug stores. Also a lot of vitiamin E cream will help. Trust me ..... I'm Irish and as pale as casper!

EXFOLITE EXFOLIATE EXFOLIATE!Exfolitae inteh shower ( origins pomegranate scrub is good, but it might turn yout shower pink)

Don't moistureize, you want to speed up the peeling & get it over with.

However moistureize the night before & mronging of teh wedding.

Use jergens shimmer lotion, it has a slight tint & shimmer, so the peely parts won't be that noticeable.

Actually I have dark olive skin and I have been moistorizing and exfoliating obsessively. I just wondered if there were any products or self tanners to help even out the pink and brown spots.
