That depends on how bad your burn is/how long you were exposed to the sun or tanning booth/bed and how fair you are. It also depends on how you go about caring for your skin after getting the burn. I'd suggest using moisturizers like lotion or aloe, but I've also heard of yogurt and apple cider vinegar being good for sunburns. I'd also keep hydrated, take multi-vitamins and make sure you're eating healthy foods that contain a good amount of protein. Keep in mind sunburns can be as bad as a burn you'd get from a heat source and cause serious damage depending on how severe it is, if you're peeling later on you got a bad burn, if you're in serious agony, blistering and having trouble moving about you need to get to a hospital.
