First of all, you need to take some Ibuprofin (if you're not allergic to it). It will help reduce the swelling and pain.
Second, take a very cool to cold bath--this will help reduce the damage that the burn did to your skin. It will also help with the swelling, pain, and redness. If you can't take a bath, get some ice and rub it on the burned areas.
Third, drink plenty of clear fluids and make sure you're keeping hydrated.
If you have blisters, do NOT pop them. This will not only hurt, but it can leave bad scars. Blisters mean you have at least second degree burns. Not good!
If you have a lot of blisters, especially if you have a fever or the blisters have pus in them, you need to immediately go to the doctor. You probably have sun poisoning. This is very dangerous and can make you very sick.
If your skin is peeling, do not "help" it along...don't peel your skin. That also can cause very bad scarring (I have a big scar on my nose from peeling it as a kid when I had a sunburn--I'm now 35 and the scar is still there!).

You should try an Aloe Vera moisturizer. Whenever I get sunburnt I purchase an Aloe Vera aftersun. You can find it at any department store or drug store.

I find cocoa butter to be about the best thing after a sunburn. moisturizes and softens like nobody's business.
