Put your aftersun (or just moisturiser)in the fridge and keep re-applying.

Avoid sunlight, use a very high SPF every day, even when it isnt sunny (because UV rays can come through clouds), try a "fade creame" which contains at least 2% hydroquinone, exfoliate your skin (use like a sugar or salt scrub) and moisturize.

Slap yourself pretty hard where you think you are sunburned. If it hurts so band you fall to the floor then you have sunburn. Hey, it's works.

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.

Probably not 2nd degree burns, because they blister and hurt terribly exposed to any air at all. It does sound more severe than a regular sunburn, though. Check with a pharmacist or a doctor to see if there is some other cream or ointment you can put on it.

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!

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....

If you put on some aloe vera it'll help with the burning, itching, etc. sensations. I have this green kind that's a mix between sunscreen/aloe vera. It'll also be good if you wear it everytime you go out in the sun! :]

My parents always put vinegar on my sunburns when I was a kid, but if you don't want to do that get some sunburn gel at a store where all the tanning lotions are at.  Will even prevent peeling

Cold water first -- NO OIL OR BUTTER OR GREASE (this makes it worse). Then put aloe vera (straight from the plant, if possible) and be careful not to bandage it (if it sticks to a burn, you have an even larger problem).

i found this article.. hope this can help:\n\nTreating a sunburn quickly and with healing ingredients is important to help reduce the damage and to protect against further damage. \n\nHealing Sunburn Treatments \n\nAloe Vera Gel \nFor sunburn there is nothing better than aloe vera gel; it is antibacterial and deeply healing for burns in part because of aloectin B, which stimulates the immune system. Aloe vera gel is used in hospitals for burn victims. Aloe Vera comes from the aloe vera plant, and the gel may be squeezed from its leaves, or you can buy pure aloe vera gel as a product in most health food stores. \n\nVitamin E Cream\nOne of the antioxidants, vitamin E creams, ointments and oils, can help heal sunburn damage and shorten its effects. \n\nIncrease Your Vitamin C \nAnother antioxidant, increasing your vitamin C intake while sunburned will help you heal. \n\nBlack Tea Sunburn Soother \nThe tannins in cool black tea will help sooth a sunburn. \n\nBaking Soda Bath\nHave a cool bath to which 1/2 a cup of baking soda has been added. \n\nCalendula Creams\nCalendula is one of the most healing plants. The flowers are emollient, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antifungal, and antiviral. They are immune system stimulants and rich in carotenoids. Look in your health food store for calendula creams and ointments. \n\nAvoid Petroleum jelly, as it will hold in the heat. \n\n..and oh, drink lots of water!

The type of sunburn I refer to here is the type or level where tapping the victim on the shoulder is absolute agony or where your bedsheets hurt so much you cant sleep.Aloe vera in a bottle is fine but!!!!!Aloe vera in a plant,many of us have them.Cut two inches from the leaf ,slice down the middle and rub down gently on the burn in a straight line ,you will notice that you are still burning on both sides of the part you have just applied the aloe vera to but where you applied is pain free almost instantly.By doing one patch/line first it shows you,the disbeliever, how good it is.After you have done all the affected areas you can use P.A.B.A.(para amino benzoic acid)in tablet form.In England chemists dont seem to sell it but Holland & barrett do as will other health food outlets.I would take one tablet of paba for mild burn and if it doesnt go down in terms of pain I take more till it reduces to the point I can cope.My family have used this for 40 years without adverse effects.If in doubt ask the people in the health food shop,If you ask doctors about it they tend not to be pleased(my expreience but enlightenment is available free on the N.H.S.) because they havent prescribed it,please let me know it workedP.S. this is not a licence to burn ,if you allow your children to burn you are abusing them,sounds harsh but its true

I will try to give you an adequate advice and some solution.Dear,if you have been burnt really severely it's better to seek a medical help.Bear in mind that the whole body can respond to that,with raising the body temperature,dizziness tec. As to some soothing,there are many home remedies like using topically yogurt,cucumbers,etc over the affected areas. I strongly would recommend you to go to the pharmacy and to buy Panthenol(contains vit.B5),or other medication treating burns from 2d to 3rd degree,containing Vit.E and s other anti-inflammatory agent.Drink as much water as you can..That's of vital importance..Of real help are the Calendula ointment and Aloe Vera containing gels,lotions etc..really helpful..Good luck and next time put on 60 SPF if needed!
