NEVER EVER TAKE IBUPROFEN OR ANY ON THE NSAID BASED PILLS FOR SUNBURN.
Smother the affected area with a liberal coating of natural yoghurt! If its all over, get in a cool shower or a swimming pool and stay there for a good while.
If its really bad, ie sickness, headache, de-hydration and diahorah - get to the hospital and seek medical advice

Treatment Your targets while dealing a person with sunburn is to transport the casualty out of the solar or clear of the supply of the sunburn and to alleviate any agony and ache. Caution despite the fact that, if there may be huge blistering or some other epidermis harm you must search scientific recommendation. With minor sunburn quilt the casualty’s epidermis with gentle apparel or a towel. Move them into the coloration or ideally interior. Cool the epidermis by means of sponging it with cool water or by means of soaking the affected discipline in a bloodless bathtub or a groovy bathe for ten mins. Encourage the casualty to have common sips of bloodless water. If the burns are moderate calomine lotion or an aftersun practise might soothe them. For extreme sunburn receive scientific help.

Listen, this is important. A couple of years ago we cruised the Caribbean with friends and he got a very bad sunburn. So bad we went to the ships infirmary an he was treated by the ships doctor. A man who claimed a vast amount of experience treating sunburns.
HERE'S WHAT WE WERE TOLD TO DO.
Run your shower slightly warm only.
get in and while soaking thoroughly, slowly start turning down the warm water until it 's running from, at first cool, to full cold.
Do this until the heat of the burn is gone, really gone.
If you've done it properly the burn should be out of it.
Don't put anything on it you'll only make it worse.
Dress as lightly as possible. You should be more than comfortable enough to sleep comfortably.
Over the years I have not only used this method myself but have recommended it a countless amount of times always concluding successively.
It absolutely works.

Therapy Your ambitions when dealing somebody with sunburn is to move the casualty out of the solar or far from the supply of the sunburn and to relieve any discomfort and affliction. Warning although, if there's large blistering or any other skin harm you need to search medical recommendation. With minor sunburn duvet the casualty’s epidermis with light apparel or a towel. Move them into the coloration or preferably indoors. Cool the epidermis with the aid of sponging it with cool water or by way of soaking the affected discipline in a bloodless bathtub or a groovy shower for ten minutes. Encourage the casualty to have time-honored sips of bloodless water. If the burns are moderate calomine lotion or an aftersun guidance may just soothe them. For extreme sunburn receive scientific support.

Many years ago, I got a severe sunburn and became physically sick. One thing that helped was a tepid (barely warm) shower. As mentioned before do NOT put cream lotions or food on a sunburn this will hold in the heat.
Drink PLENTY of water to re-hydrate your body.
As a child, the camp nurse would spritz ice tea on a sunburn. Not sure how well it worked, but it sure felt good.

ibuprofen works best for pain and swelling. take 200-400mg every 6 hours but no more than 1200mg in 24 hours.
use aloe vera gel on the burn. do not use lotions,oils,or food products-these can actually trap the heat inside the burn and cause dehydration and can make the burn worse.
take cool baths or showers.hot water will also cause dehydration and make the burn worse.
drink plenty of water or gatorade to restore fluid lost while being out in the sun
