DO NOT USE NOXEMA!!!!!!!!!
It will increase your burn and pain horribly!!!!!!!!
Go to pharmacy or drug store and get 100% pure aloe and rub it on gently.
Do not use alcohol or perfumed lotions!
I have used Banana Boat and others.They are all the same so get cheap.As long as it is ALOE.
I had blisters all over upper body from bad sunburn a few years ago.I couldn't wear a bra or shirts.Painful!!!!!
The aloe takes away the pain and soothes the burn almost immediately.
Lots of ibuprofin to help take down the swelling.
Trust me you are swollen whether you know it or not.
Let it breath in the open air as much as possible.No bandages.Don't cover it unless your clothes naturally cover it on their own.

Use cool cloths on sunburned areas.
Take frequent cool showers or baths.
Apply soothing lotions with aloe vera to sunburned areas. Topical steroids (such as 1% hydrocortisone cream) may also help with sunburn pain and swelling

there is plenty you may do. Take some tylenol for the discomfort. sit down in a funky water bath, prepare aloe vera gel, and there is a few over the counter sprays you could prepare to get the burn/warmth out yet do not use warm water, your pores and skin is already burned and it is going to damage even extra. acceptable remedy is to apply sunscreen, and a hat yet i comprehend the way it feels so optimistically you study a thanks to cover up next time. depending how undesirable you're burned, you may be searching at some days to each week. once you've blisters, do not pop them. sit down in a funky bath and take the tylenol

Awww man, I feel so sorry for you! I burn if I even think about the sun! When I get burnt, I take a lukewarm bath and lay on my bed naked. Noxema (spelling?) and that blue gel stuff works, but it might hurt to put on. Take some Aleve or Advil to knock out some of the pain. If its really bad, I would go to the ER so they can make sure you don't have serious burns or sun poisoning. I've had it before and it isn't fun. I really hope you feel better soon!

If it's blistering, go to a doctor. If it's only severely red, cold compresses every few hours along with some aloe vera gel to help the healing should heal it up. Take something for the pain--Tylenol or Advil, whichever you normally use.

I use a homeopathic remedy called "Cantharis" for sunburn and it is amazing.

Aloe Vera, of course!!!!
Don't peel off the skin on your sunburn as it will hurt like hell.

aloe vera works great, sunblock works even better (but you have to use that before you go out). Make sure to reapply sunblock often, and use a high spf. If the burn is really severe, go see a doctor.
