I use sunscreen. It really helps for sunburns, since, you know, I don't get any.

The best thing for a bad sunburn is any form of chapstick; it soothes, protects and prevents peeling and itching! My secret tip.

I am not a person who burns but when I went to Hawaii many years ago I did burn. My mom told me to take the vinegar soak a towel no need to dilute it with water and just lay the vinegar towel over the burn. I am telling you that was the best remedy ever. Yes I smelled like vinegar but the burn was gone and it actually then turned to tan and I did not peel at all. I was out in the sun the next day with no problems at all. I have tried the aloe gel and vinegar works so much better. Best remedy ever!!!!!

Go to the store and purchase a bottle of aloe vera GEL. ( Walmart) I promise you , you will never use anything else ever again on sunburn. It is the most amazing thing ever. It is also wonderful for other burns.Takes the burn out immediatley. THe next day, if you apply properly and often ---there is no soreness, it's amazing. Get some. Keep it on hand. You'll be THRILLED you did.
