heLLo sUnShInE! so basically i'm a lifeguard, i've had the burns and i have the sunburn scar to prove my stupidity! always always always use 50 sph or higher sunblock that is the best you can get...apply it every two hours! don't you use the crap that will give you a "nice tan" cuz it will give you a "nice burn" now you can put something moist on it or definitely get aloe a great aloe product is bath and body works lotion it contains aloe and smells pretty also! you can buy aloe gel at a drug store that contains some form of medicine that helps heal burns! i use either ocean potion 50 sph sunscreen it works well and i smells like oranges or coppertone extreme sport 50 sph! remember apply often!

Take an aspirin 325 mg enteric coated if you don't have allergy to aspirin. It helps to kill pain and with the inlammatory responce. Also aloe vera is good or Vitamin E
As for sun block most people don't remember to apply it atleast 30 minutes before getting into sun and reapply at regularly

A cool bath will help with the pain. I would use Aloe to help it heal faster. Be sure to buy pure aloevera though, without alcohol and perfumes etc. as they will sting. Vitamin C also aids in the healing of tissue. Calomine lotion will help with the itching when it gets to that stage. God Bless

Sunblock that works great is Coppertone Sport in SPF 45 or higher. I have it and it is totally awesome and I have never gotten burt with it on...i'm blonde and very pale skin.
Aloe gel is the best for sunburns. It helps relieve pain and helps heal w/o peeling.

Homemade - rub white vinegar on the sunburn. If you can buy some aloe lotion or noxema. It's soothing

Hi,
Try using papaya pulp on your skin. Drink lots of water and remember to wear a suntan lotion before stepping out of the house.
If you do not have papaya, use a mixture of yogurt, turmeric and gram flour as a face pack.

Pick up some Solarcaine. It's got aloe to soothe your skin, but it also contains a small amount of lidocaine which will numb your skin. Works like a champ!

Go buy some pure allow gel and smooth it on. Then take some Tylenol. You can get the aloe at Target and it is cheap.

get some aloe vera it will help ease the pain, and try a higher spf sunblock like 20 or 30.

The vinegar thing works, but it does not cure. Stay out of the sun, you will wind up like me when you get older (skin cancer). Not fun! Melanoma once....
