The sun dries your skin out so it is probably dry. Use a good moisturizer with sunscreen built in so this doesn't happen again.

You got an awful bad burn, my darling. The best thing is to just let it run its course- your skin is very angry and trying to heal itself and sometimes it's not the easiest and prettiest solution we'd like! It's important that you aren't using any retinoids or other topical creams used for acne, wrinkles, etc. that could irritate this. Just wash with cool water and go without makeup for a while if you can. You can try aloe, very gentle moisturizers, and cortisone cream to respectively combat the heat, dryness, and itchiness. However, the simpler the better- and use a moisturizer with few ingredients and nothing added for acne treatment or wrinkle treatment, etc.
In the future, especially if you are applying medicated lotions to your face or taking pills that make your skin sensitive to light, you really should wear a moisturizer with at least spf15 every single day. If out in the sun for extended periods, apply at LEAST spf30 every 2-3 hours, more so if sweating or in the water. Find a large fashionable hat and wear that out to the beach. Really, it may not seem cool now, but you'll thank yourself when you are wrinkle free and skin cancer free as you get older!

Because you sunburned several layers of your skin.
Wait for it all to die & peel off & then stay out of the sun so you don't get skin cancer.
