Skin peeling!!!

Okay, so while I was camping I didn’t put on any sunscreen because I’m really white, and I wanted to get a tanned. But that didn’t happen, instead it turned into a huge red lobster sunburn. No joke. 2 days later, it started peeling, and me being an idiot peeled it, then when I started looking on ways I can help it, it said not to peel it.. So now I’m screwed, and it looks so gross! Like it looks like I got burned in a fire or something. What should I do to help this? I’m not gonna be picking at it anymore, so don’t tell me to stop because I already have, I just need help on what to do about it now that the damage is already done? Is it gonna go back to it’s natural skin? And how long will that take. I need help, like now :s

use pure emu oil right after getting sunburnt, completely eliminates the skin peeling phase of sunburn, and leaves you with a nice tan :)
