Answer 1

I know that you've probably heard the aloe vera thing A LOT...believe me...but it really does help if you keep reapplying it. If you store it in the fridge, it can give you more of a relief when you first put it on.

Mix a half-water, half-vinegar solution and apply it to the burn with a spray bottle or soaked cloth. This will sting a little bit at first, but it definitely pulls the burning sensation out of your sunburn.

Ice packs (in small amounts of time) and cold cloths or compresses will also help to minimize the length of time that you have redness and should help with the swelling.

Take lukewarm (room temperature) BATHS. Taking showers with too high of a water pressure could increase your pain. Taking a too-cold bath won't help, and will make you freezing. And a too-hot bath runs the risk of burning you even more, or irritating the burn that you already have.

Make sure that you drink PLENTY of water, in order to keep your body hydrated so you don't develop a fever. If you do develop a fever, take an acetaminophen or an ibuprofen to help get rid of the fever and to minimize inflammation and swelling.

If your sunburn is really bad and seems to be very painful, you may want to go see your doctor and get a prescriptive treatment.

Answer 2

I usually put Aloe Vera on my sunburn. And it should start healing in a few days if you do it like, after you take a shower at night or sometime where you are not going to get wet in less then like an hour. But you don't have to take my advice.

aloe vera gel

Answer 6

Lots of aloe based lotion (alcohol free) really helps and can prevent peeling. I've also had luck mixing in a few drops of lavender essential oil into the lotion before applying it. This soothes the skin as well as lavender is a mild topical analgesic.
