I'm in band which means I'm out in the sun for roughly 5 hours a day and I forget to use sunscreen so I have gotten really burnt. My school pictures are this Tuesday and I don't want to have the major tan lines from my sunglasses and I'm also peeling pretty bad. Is there any way I can get rid of the tan lines and also help the peeling of my burn?

You could try aloe Vera for the burn, foundation might cover up your tan line

There may not be much you can do to help the peeling, but a light to medium coverage foundation may help the discoloration a bit. Your skin is going to keep shedding until it's rid itself of the immediate damage it's suffered from sun exposure.

For the health of your skin though, I highly recommend getting into the habit of wearing sunscreen everyday, even if you aren't going to be spending much time outside. Sun damage exacerbates literally every other skin condition we can have, from exzema to rosacea to acne and then some.
