I believe no matter what it will peel. You killed your top kay of skin, it will have to shed. But I got a bad sunburn a couple years ago and strong strong STRONG black tea like 10 bags to a cup of hot water steeped till it's cold. Then squeeze all the bags out and use one as a sponge and sponge the cool tea on the burn. I did it twice and after the second day it peeled fairly well and the skin below it was a bit tan.

Freeze the aloe in ice cube molds and apply it!

Ouch vinegar is too agressive for the already damaged skin! apply a thick layer of bepanthen, it helps ( store the cream in your fridge it will have a cooling effect)

Definitely aloe vera, don't use any lotions or any thick creams!

I had a sunburn a few weeks ago. I applied aloe Vera every day and at night I used coconut oil which really helped

One part apple cider vinegar mixed with one part water. Use the mixture to wet a wash cloth and lay the wash cloth on the area and let it sit for about an hour. This takes out the redness and the sting.
