soak a wash rag or hand towel in vodka, chill the cloth then apply to burned area.  Doesn't hurt to take a shot or two or vodka either!  JUST KIDDING.....this is an old treatment but really does help.

The VERY best thing to use is aloe vera.  Straight from the plant is the ultimate best but you can buy it over the counter too.  Its natural and works great.  If you buy it over the counter, keep it in the fridge.  The additional coolness will help even more.

Aloe Vera works well for healing.  For the pain, we used to put a little toothpaste on it, it works well.

According to my doctor and the research I've done, aloe vera juice doesn't really help most people.  It probably won't hurt either, so you can try it if you feel like it might do some good.  Who knows, you might be one of the lucky ones who feels better.

You are sunburnt. Next time use a sunblock. The peeling can be lessened by using an aloe vera based lotion  topically applied to the skin. If you don't like the after effects of not protecting your skin then use sunblock as I previously stated.

For sunburn, you should use Aloe Vera gel to soothe the pain, but you can use Calamine lotion or Hydrocortisone cream over-the-counter  to alleviate the inflammation and redness. Apply at least two to three times a day until redness and inflammation dissipates/improves. If it's an oozing sore, I would stay away from Benadryl cream and go to the physician immediately. If you don't see the symptoms getting better in 3 to 5 days, make an appt to see your dermatologist.\n\n Make sure to use sunscreen from now on. I recommend SPF 30 at a minimum and wear lighter colored shirts, since darker colors attract the heat of the sunlight. And of course, if the topical agents don't help with the pain, you can take tylenol or motrin to alleviate the pain.I get this question all the time at the pharmacy.

Use Aloe vera gel, it comes in both Menthol and in regular. It will speed up the healing process and take away the burning sensation. To help ease the discomfort I would recommend using a lidocain spray such as "solarcaine" it's available in the same aisle as the aloe vera gel in most stores. You can also take acetominophen (Tylenol) if you are not allergic to it to help with the pain. - Hope you feel better soon and great question!- James

Hey man be careful with some crazy people up there. Oatmeal, lemon juice, vinegar IS NOT GOOD AT ALL. Those things could make it even worst. Take a pain killer like Advil or Tylenol. Also, get Banana Boat Aloe Vera gel. Put it in the fridge and use it at least twice a day (morning and evening). Last year I had a bad SBurn. Right after the Aloe Vera gel I use a Lubriderm lotion. Don't rub it, be gentle. Also, don't expose yourself to the sun and use light cotton cloth. Avoid detergent or use a natural one to avoid any sensitive reaction to the skin. Also, drink vitamin E and break a capsule and mix it with the Lubriderm or Aloe Vera gel. It worked out for me. I know people who had nasty marks after a sun burn like mine. I don't have any!

There is no cure for sunburn except time and patience.  You can't speed up the tanning if you have a sunburn.  If you burn you have to tan slowly, especailly at first.   Hopefully you won't peel and the red will fade over a number of days.  I'd use lots of moisturizers and aloe vera over the next few days.\n\nI've included a website that has lots of good information about sunburn.  I know the feeling of it all too well.  You have my sympathy.

my little sister has the same problem. we joke shes immune to sun screen. theres nothing you really can do. you just have to accept you for who you are.....or try putting on sun tan lotion and then some sunscreen on....but wait until all the old burns have peeled off that way it doesnt look bad.

get some vitamin e gel capsules and pop them, squeezing out the stuff inside onto the burn...if you must cover it to sleep, do so with something soft, stretchy and breathable...but keep a good layer of the gel on there to hydrate the skin well....

I'd say it depends on how badly burnt you got.  Get some aloe vera gel to cool the skin and and help it heal.  then get wheatgerm oil to rehydrate the skin.

Peeling skin from a sunburn is the body's natural way of ridding itself of dead or damaged skin.  The skin underneath is going to be a healthier batch that needs the lotion or aloe vera.  If you've started peeling, just gently remove the skin and apply lotion or aloe.  This is probably the healthiest way to allow your skin to heal.

I would try aloe. There are products in the baby aisle used to treat the same problem and would work for adults as well.\n Otherwise you just have to wait it out and stay out of the sun.
