Should I Exfoliate A Sunburn?
Exfoliating a sunburn is usually not recommended while the skin is red, tender, or blistered, because it can worsen irritation and delay healing. Gentle exfoliation may become appropriate only after the skin has fully recovered and any flaking is superficial and non-tender. The safest path is to focus on soothing, moisturizing, and protecting the skin from further sun exposure.
