If you guys get burnt while tanning, what do you do to fix the skin that is peeling?

Well, dont get burned in the first place.
Im about as pale as they get, red-haired, fair skin blah blah blah. But if I slowly start tanning I can manage an okay tan for someone pigmently challenged. Use a tanning lotion when tanning to help prevent burning.

Agreed, you shouldnt get burned tanning, ease into it, start earlier if yoru in a rush. But a good moisturizer, Eucerin is a really good one might be hard to find the Shriners hospital in Boston gives it to me, i'm a burn victom really good stuff. Or maybe Aloe vera.

a good aloe vera lotion or spray would help, and refrain from scratching at all costs.

Keep your skin well moisturized with aloe vera or a good moisturizer to minimize skin damage and aid speed up healing process.
Exfoliate and scrub while taking a shower to rid of peeling and excess skin.
Next time, look into alternative ways to look tan; such as a quick and easy and painless professional spray-on tan at the tanning salon (like Mystic Tan).
