How do I remove the peeling skin due to sun burn?

I was in VA beach last week and due to sun burn, the skin is peeling off of my forehead and little into the scalp. Had to work from home for a couple of days for obvious reasons.. It's been more than a week now, but it is still going on.

What should I do to remove all peeling skin at once?

Don't.... Leave it there. You may want to put some moisturizing after sun lotion on it, but all that peeling it off does is expose other skin for damage/irritation.

Burns need to be left alone to heal... and thats what you have.

The skin will continue to peel until the damaged skin is gone. The only thing you can do is to moisurize, moisturize, moisturize and hope that it will be over soon.

Let the burned and dead skin fall off naturally. You can actually tear your skin if you pull on it.
Keep it moist with lotion or aloe and it will wash off and flake off while putting on the lotion.
