Aloe Vera Gel
For sunburn there is nothing better than aloe vera gel; it is antibacterial and deeply healing for burns in part because of aloectin B, which stimulates the immune system. Aloe vera gel is used in hospitals for burn victims. Aloe Vera comes from the aloe vera plant, and the gel may be squeezed from its leaves, or you can buy pure aloe vera gel as a product in most health food stores.
Vitamin E Cream
One of the antioxidants, vitamin E creams, ointments and oils, can help heal sunburn damage and shorten its effects.
Increase Your Vitamin C
Another antioxidant, increasing your vitamin C intake while sunburned will help you heal.
Black Tea Sunburn Soother
The tannins in cool black tea will help sooth a sunburn.
Baking Soda Bath
Have a cool bath to which 1/2 a cup of baking soda has been added.
Calendula Creams
Calendula is one of the most healing plants. The flowers are emollient, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antifungal, and antiviral. They are immune system stimulants and rich in carotenoids. Look in your health food store for calendula creams and ointments.
Avoid Petroleum jelly, as it will hold in the heat.

Put a bottle of green aloe vera gel in the fridge wait for like 30 mins and then put it on the burned skin. Do that before you go to bed..because it dries green and you wouldnt want to go to work or school like that lol!

Go to your local grocery store and buy an aloe vera plant split it open and carefully take all the gel inside of it and place it on your skin. That should work.

I heard that compresses of vinegar on a wash cloth will help. What i know will help is this Solarcaine lotion product.....It looks likes green jello, has aloe and benzocaine to numb the sting. Heck, why not try both. Good luck, sweetie.

Any of the over the counter treatments that have Aloe and Lidocaine in them. Soothes and helps numb the burn.

white vinegar. stinks a bit but works every time, and if applied right away it helps to decrease the amount of peeling later. unfortunatley aloe vera doesnt help much with peeling.

apply aloe vera gel, preferably chilled. and try not to drink too much alcohol.
patting cucumber slices dipped in ice water onto affected areas will also help reduce the burn.
