Aloe vera and a fan. Put a LOT of aloe on the sunburn and stand by a fan. The cool air will feel SOOOO good.

i took a first aid course, and they specifically said not to go try crazy remedies that sound too good to be true.

Found this on anothernikki’s website she gave me

Skim milk. Milk protein is very soothing, says Dr. Schreiber. Mix 1 cup skim milk with 4 cups water, then add a few ice cubes. Apply compresses for 15 to 20 minutes; repeat every 2 to 4 hours

Calamine lotion is said to work quite well, used for lots of other things as well. This is what came up by googling it. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rl…
