You're better off going by the drug store. I haven't heard of any homes remedies for a sunburn, although I'm sure you could find one somewhere. If you get a chance to go by the drug store pick up some Lanacaine spray it'll help with the pain, some aloe, and some sunscreen for next time. In the mean time stay out of hot water it'll dry your skin more. Also don't put any oil or petroleum based oinments on it because it won't help. Good luck.

Aloe is the best,but you can also use Noxema-my mom had used it on my sunburn when I was a child,and it really did help! It stops the burn,the itch,and it also stops the peeling!

Milk draws out the pain. Just dampen a cloth or paper towel and put on the sunburn. No joke

A regular dose of ibuprofen (advil) will lower your body temperature, which will help, and it will also relieve the pain of the burn. Be careful if you take a cold shower or bath as it could cool you too quickly and that can be uncomfortable too.

sit in a cool bath. Don't put oil on it. But other creams will help too. Anything that puts moisture in your skin can help cool the skin.

Very cold shower, that will always feel good along with very cold wet towels with ice between them
