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!

Why does a sunburn peel?
A sunburn is a first degree burn. As painful as being scalded with hot water and just as damaging to the flesh killing the cells of several layers of skin cells. When skin cells die they dry and flake off and we usually never even notice. 90% of the dust in a home is comprised of dead skin cells of the occupants. Dandruff is also nothing more than dead skin cells. When you get a sunburn, the body stops supplying those cells with nutrients. The tender flesh beneath is still in close proximity to blood capillaries and nerve tissues. Standard secretion of sweat and skin oils help to push away and shed the damaged and dead skin cells when it is ready. That is what causes the peeling. It's usually better to let the skin peel naturally, so the tender flesh beneath isn't exposed until it is ready.
