Once you have a sunburn the damage is done. There is no quick fix to sunburn treatment. Sunburn can take up to 12-24 hours after sun exposure for you to know the full extent of the damage. It could take several days for your skin to begin the healing process.
Here are some sunburn treatment steps you can take to help ease your pain:
Keep the skin cool, by applying a damp towel, cold compress (do not use ice) to the affected skin or take a cool bath.
Keep the skin moist by apply moisturizing cream (non-oil based), aloe vera cream or gel or other over the counter sunburn products (check with your pharmacist).
Leave blisters alone. Do not break them, that will slow down the healing process and risk an infection. To protect the blisters, lightly cover with a non-stick sterile gauge pad.
If necessary, take a pain reliever such as, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin or other). Follow label instructions.
Take the pain reliever until redness and soreness is alleviated.
Skin that is peeling should be treated gently. Within a few days when the affected area begins to peel continue using moisturizing cream.
Use sunscreen liberally and frequently to prevent further damage to your sunburn. Some studies have shown that we only use half of the recommended amount.
you cant get rid of sunburn straight away, it takes a few days to get rid of it, but it also depends on how many lays of skin you have burnt.
but i found when i had sunburn that t really hurt to make a strong cup of black tea and when it is cold use a cloth and put it on the burn. it really helps and it makes it a lot less red.
i hope this helped you:)
heaps of moisturising cream :)

If this is a true sunburn you cannot get rid of it in five minutes. Anymore than you can get rid of a burn if you touch a hot pan in an oven. You will have to wait until the burn heals that could be as long as five days.
Because sunburn IS actually a burn. It starts to burn you skin and it's way of healing is to get rid of the damaged skin and grow new, healthy skin.
No. Products that contain aloe vera and lidocaine can help.
Use aloe on it and AVOID shampooing for several days as it can worsen the burn.
Use aloe vera lotion.
Put aloe vera lotion on it! And apply it 3-4 times daily!
just washing your face every morning, not irritating it, and dont get a sunburn on your face.
Use a lot of Aloe or an after cream lotion with Aloe in it. Apply LIBERALLY.
aleo vera bro!
A reflecting sunburn is a sunburn that does not last long.
