Drinking a lot will help, cucumbers really help, dabbing black tea on your skin, dabbing milk on your skin, oatmeal baths, and aloe! I went to the tanning bed and the oatmeal bath and aloe really seemed to help.

Of course, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, but if you are already sunburned, cider vinegar wiped onto the affected areas will reduce the initial night's painful skin contact with the bed. It is important to be standing in the shower when the viegar is applied. Wait 5 minutes, then shower in luke-warm (or as warm as you can stand it) water. If your bathroom has a window, OPEN IT FIRST as the vinegar's odor IS overwhelming. Not only will it reduce the 'sting', the redness may turn to tan overnight. It may subsequently peel in 2-3 days, but the pain will be reduced.
A famous TV doctor in the US advises the use of a simple phrase to remember for sun-protection: 'Slip, slap, slop'.
SLIP on a light, long-sleeved shirt
SLAP on a hat
SLOP on the sunscreen
I wouldn't share this if it didn't work!
