Would swimming while a sunburn is peeling be a good idea? I got a sunburn last Wednesday and its peeling now.
It doesn%26#039;t hurt anymore, and I%26#039;ve been invited to go out swimming today. Do you think its too soon?

its fine to go swimming just put on alot of sunscreen and put it on about every hour so u dont burn again. also if you sholders and back are burnt really bad it might help to put like a white t shirt on when swimming so the sun doesnt even bother those areas. but if you put on alot of sunscreen and put it on regularly im sure you will be ok. and good luck!

p.s.
if you didnt know already aloe vera gel is wonderful on sunburns and if you put it in the fridge it feels really good on sunburns! i use it all the time and it heals my sunburns by the next day! parents uesd to own a local pool, been swimming at local pool all summer since i was like 3

  • it%26#039;s not bad just make sure you have sunscreen on so you don%26#039;t burn on top of a peel that is bad for you.
  • yea it should be ok. use suntan lotion and aloe vera gel works great especially in the fridge! the pool might dry out your peeling too!
  • not exactly a good idea since your burn is still healing but if you feel you have to go be sure to use a lot of water proof sunscreen!!!
  • Peeling is a good sign your fine to go swimming
