try vinegar and water and use a washcloth and apply the vinegar and water solution to your skin with the washcloth . I live in florida i know all about sunburns . trust me this works . good luck .

keep your skin greased up so your skin doesnt tear. you can use several things for this. shops sell something called 'aftersun' which is great for this, but you ca nalso use normal butter or oil.
its important that you allow your skin time to heal. so stay out of the sun. even when clothed. many fabrics do no stop UV light. plus the added effect of oil on your skin is to act like a lens.
taking cool baths also is good for burnt skin, it will also take away the burning feeling.

Aloe vera or another cooling type of gel with additional lignocaine in it.... works as an anaesthetic... really good!
