How do you cover up a peeling sunburn with make-up?
I put my regular foundation over it this morning and now my face looks all scaly.

    Exfoliate your skin and just use a tinted moisturizer if you can. Let that peel do what it does before putting on foundation.

    Make up will just clump up, you need to exfoliate

    You're probably right, I'm afraid it will hurt. But I'll try to exfoliate when I get home.

    I have an exfoliating sponge that I use when my face is peeling. I use it with my regular face wash--it's very gentle. Then moisturizer. And really, you should consider just skipping the foundation. It's not very good for your skin anyway.

    A little white vinegar or plain yogurt does wonders if it's still burning too. Good luck!
