Take vitamins to promote quick healing of sunburned skin.

If you have gotten sunburned, taking vitamin supplements for the first few days can promote faster recovery of your damaged skin. Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, beta-carotene and flaxseed oil - in either liquid or capsule form - will boost healing from the inside out. Using moisturizing lotion with these vitamins can also help prevent peeling and fading. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or on any medications, check with a physician to see whether increasing your vitamin intake poses any dangers, and be sure not to recommend the recommended daily allowance of these vitamins, as doing so could have adverse effects.
