    Aloe vera for the burn and a hydrocortisone cream for the itch.

    aloe vera works great. also liquid honey takes away the pain.



    drink a lot of cool liquids, i think your body is too warm after too much sun. i've never burned myself with sun so hard to know ... (as being one of those lucky bastards that are confortable with spf 4 directly under equator)

    just make sure if you get aloe vera gell that you get the kind without any coloring. it's naturally clear. putting artificial dyes on burned skin is a bad idea. but aloe vera gel absolutely rules.
