Aloe vera gel. Keep it in the refrigerator. It really cools a bad sunburn and will help the blisters heal faster. Good luck!!

You'll smell like a pickle but - pour white vinegar onto a cotton pad or the like and dab all over your sunburn. Use as often as desired. This should take the pain out of your burn. If you have an aloe plant, cut a piece open and rub the cool jelly-like stuff on the inside onto your skin - it gives at least temporary relief. Good luck!

Drug stores carry things for sun burn that help relieve the pain, and prevent it from blistering (a lil too late in your case I guess) but it will still relieve the pain. Aloe vera instantly cools it down, and helps heal it faster also.

A trick my grandma taught me: Take cool shower and don't dry off. Rub vaseline all over sunburn area. (The vaseline locks in moisture - so basically the vaseline is pressing the cool water against your skin) This will prevent peeling, itching, and help the redness fade. It works faster than aloe and creams (and cheaper)!

There is a type or cream that doesn't cure the sunburn, but it prevents it from getting worse, and it is the Mary Kay Night Cream. IT works very well for any infection on your skin,

Try Noxema skin cream. It is over the counter and easy to apply. It not only takes the heat out of the burn, it will help with the itch that is bound to come.

It will sting at first but it will give you some relief and it will speed healing rather quickly. Mix water with white vinegar and put on. I use this for when my skin is itching too or when I have something that needs to heal.
