Use cool wet compresses for first 48 hours. Do not use ice.
Cool oatmeal baths (Aveeno, etc.) may be helpful. You may use aloe in first 48 hour. NO lotions or petroleum jelly in the first 48 hours!! These hold in the heat! Apply moisturizing lotions after 48 hours. Aspirin taken as directed on the label may help ease pain. Seek medical attention if fever, fluid-filled blisters, dizziness or visual disturbances are present.

I would like to tell you that there is a very secret mix come form India secrets but believe me, the absolutely, stunning and very best for the skin is after the sun... vinagre with a touch of lemon, all over your skin, it will re hidratate the skin in the most wild way, make the colour of your skin with a very beatiful long lasting tan and will protect it for the next day as well, and even more... letting it save from fungus and estirilizing it from all germens.
Really, the very best.

Aloe usually helps, or go get some after sun stuff. The kind I use is called Ocean Potion and it works really well.

Fresh aloevera (squeezed straight out of leaf) plus a few drops of lavender oil mixed together and smoothed onto the burnt skin. Is soothing, cooling and antisceptic.

Elizabeth Arden's 8 hour repair cream. Pricey but works!

Apply aftersun regularly and drink lots of water. If i get sunburnt i have a luke warm shower then put aftersun on regularly afterwards, if you dont keep on applying it you will probably peel.

Yogurt also helps though when dried does not look very nice on the skin. However, it can easily be washed off.

Aloe vera gel, cold wet teabags (strange but true), drink plenty of water, and don't do it again!
