When you get a really bad sunburn is there a way to not peel and keep the tan?

No, sunburn is a burn. It kills the surface layer of skin and this will peel off. However, gentle, short and prolonged exposure to the sun (never getting burned in the process) will cause melanin to appear in your skin. This sort of tan is not caused by a burn and is a semi permanent change in your skin (provided exposure to sun is kept up) and this will not peel off. HOWEVER please remember that exposure to the sun (UV rays) is harmful to the skin and can cause skin cancers later in life - bad sunburn is especially dangerous for this!


What is the difference from peeling from a sunburn or chemical peel?

Peeling from a sunburn occurs when the skin's outer layer sheds due to damage from UV radiation, leading to inflammation and the body's natural healing response. In contrast, a chemical peel involves the application of a chemical solution to exfoliate and remove the outer layers of skin intentionally, improving texture and appearance. While sunburn peeling is a reaction to injury, a chemical peel is a controlled cosmetic procedure performed for skin rejuvenation. Both processes result in peeling, but their causes, purposes, and outcomes differ significantly.
