Buy a good face-scrub, and scrub peeling sunburn face in circular motions. Keep scrubbing for around 10 - 15 minutes. If you are using a gentle scrub, you can repeat this daily. If you want to make a scrub at home, take rice and grind it till it becomes slightly coarse. Add 3 teaspoons of plain yogurt to 1 teaspoon of rice powder, and use this mix as a scrub. The plain yogurt will moisturize and soothe your skin, and the rice powder will remove the peeling skin.

Rubbing Tomato or Potato: Slice a tomato into 4, rub the tomato skin on the sunburnt skin for a minute and leave it for 5 minutes. Then wash the skin with water. Repeat this twice a day. To avoid making a mess, use this remedy in the bathroom, before bathing. Use potato juice instead of the tomatoes, if you want a remedy that does not drip all over your hands. Using potato and tomato for skin remedies also helps reduce the tan on your skin.
