When I get sunburns, I rub Noxzema skin care on the burned area to help relieve the burning sensation. After taking a (slightly cool) shower rub a good mask of the noxzema on the burned area and let it sit. Once it has dried apply another coat. It will not eliminate the sunburn but it will relieve a majority of the pain. This is a trick that I learned several years ago on the farm after sun burning by lower back so bad that I could not stand.
Remedy for sunburn is to apply regularly a thick paste of turmeric and sandal paste evenly on the affected area. Raw milk can also be added.
I lived in F. all my life and beenin the sun for years and on the gulf. Milk of Magnesia is a great cure for pain and you won't blister! Shake and apply to burn and let dry.30 min -hr. take warm shower. Make sure milk of mag. has dried on you . It works wonders!
Readers digest "How to do anything" small cup half milk half water dab over burn with cloth or paper towel. will make a light film make sure it is cold and it really works
Try kukui oil cream/lotion and aloe! i live in hawaii so i've tried many things to relieve my burn. you can buy the kukui oil cream/lotion i use the kukui essential after sun and it works really well! i also didn't peel much after i used it!
You won't make many friends, but this takes hot sting out. As soon after burn as possible, before shower, anything, rub can cream over entire surface that is burned. Leave on, you won't smell to good, it will sour, that is when it is working. But results is well worth the hurt, if ya ever had a bad sunburn, blisters. After awhile, shower, pat dry, repeat.
When my son got his first sunburn, and it was really bad we used Vicks vapor rub on him by in the morning he felt a lot better
