  1. a really hot bath as hot as you can take it an put 4 to 6 family size tea bags in the water it will draw the heat out and turn it the red brown not over night of course but you will be able to tell a difference it the feeling after the bath soak for about 45 mins keep the water hot.


  2. Take a picture of yourself nude. Tape it to your bottle of sunscreen. This reminder will help you do a better job next time.

  3. If you put Hand cream on it it should help. Also Someone once told me Vinegar and Apple Cider.

    Check this website it has lots of remedies for it.

    I hope it helps...sun burn hurts really bad.

  4. vaseline (or petroleum jelly)

    or lotion


  5. although it may take 12 to 24 hours after sun exposure to know the full extent and severity of sunburn, and several days or more for your skin to begin to heal.

    In the meantime, the most effective sunburn treatment simply helps ease your discomfort:

    Keep it cool. Apply cold compresses — such as a towel dampened with cool water — to the affected skin. Or take a cool bath.

    Keep it moist. Apply aloe, moisturizing cream or over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream to the affected skin. Beware of sunburn treatment products containing anesthetics, such as benzocaine. There's little evidence that these products are effective. In some cases, they may even irritate the skin.

    Leave blisters intact. If blisters form, don't break them. You'll only slow the healing process and increase the risk of infection. If needed, lightly cover blisters with gauze.

    Take an over-the-counter pain reliever. If needed, take anti-inflammatory medication — such as aspirin or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others) — according to the label instructions until redness and soreness subside. Don't give children or teenagers aspirin. It may cause Reye's syndrome, a rare but potentially fatal disease.

    Treat peeling skin gently. Within a few days, the affected area may begin to peel. This is simply your body's way of getting rid of the top layer of damaged skin. While your skin is peeling, continue to use moisturizing cream.

    Consult a doctor for sunburn treatment if:

    Severe sunburn covers a large portion of your body with blisters

    Sunburn is accompanied by a high fever or severe pain

    Severe sunburn doesn't begin to improve within a few days

      

    And next time slap on some sun screen!
