Of course it won't help the damage already done but will prevent further damage if it is of a sufficiently high SPF. However, if you have been burnt, you should not be putting anything on the burn that is not designed to treat it. If it is more than a very minor case of sunburn, do not apply anything without consulting medical help as it can make things much worse.

No. If you have gotten sunburned, it is too late for sunscreen. You need what is called and after-sun cream that deals with the burnt skin. It is best to put on sunscreen before you go out into the sun.

Only helps prevent sunburn, so you have to put it on before you are sunburt.

There are other lotions to help sunburn already in effect though.

Why use natural sunscreen on your body rather than regular sunscreen?

Well, natural sunscreen has many useful benefits that normal sunscreen does not have. A natural sunscreen for example can provide much vitamins and mineral that are beneficial for your skin in many ways. The regular sunscreen on the other hand can contain many ineffective chemicals and is not as effective as a natural sunscreen. http://www.kitchenstewardship.com/2010/07/20/natural-sunscreen-review-do-mineral-based-sunblocks-work-2/
