I am a brown guy but I am pretty light skin colour but my face is really sunburned because of exposure to the sun, but I don't know how to get rid of it. If you know to get rid of them please tell me :confused:

Whenever I get sunburn on my face I put aloe lotion on it and that usually helps and if it doesn't I kind of try to put a cool soothing cloth on my face... but deifnately don't pick at your face if it is already peeling... if none of that works for you then I'm sorry... just let it peel then... but I can help you prevent it... one word... SUNBLOCK!!

ALOE VERA when you are burnt and it will cool your burn off & make it better :) but while in the sun, use sunblock. Very important.

There are many sunblock lotions or creams available in the market which provides effective protection from sunburns and premature skin ageing caused by overexposure to midday sun. Sunblock lotion has an spf 30 or higher, the higher the spf the better it can protect you from skin damaging effects of sun exposure. Best are those that are water resistant. But unlyk ordinary lotions, sunblocks are reapplied every 2 to 3 hours, and must be applied 30 minutes before sun exposure.
