No, but it may help it to heal, I've never tried mayo on a sunburn, I've heard of yogurt though along with aloe (probably your best bet) or just a good moisturizing lotion. But none of those will turn a sunburn into a tan, it just helps it to heal and may prevent you from peeling so in that sense it can promote a tan or help prolong a tan. Keep in mind if you're sunburning you're increasing your chances of getting cancer (melanoma) more so than just by tanning (can also lead to cancer and aging). Melanin in the skin is what creates the brown pigment of a tan, genetics determine how much of it is in each of us, certain foods/minerals can help promote melanin production like copper, I believe zinc? and protein rich foods that contain certain amino acids like L-tyrosene (sp). I believe milk is a good source of this. I've also heard of apple cider vinegar being used on a sunburn but I've never tried it so I can't really recommend it, keep in mind vinegar is a mild acid so I don't know how soothing it would be, but our skin is slightly acidic too naturally.
Totally! But it ABSOLUTELY does not smell like MILK
