On the odd occasion I have suffered sun burn I find a cool bath helps.
Make sure it is not cold, really a few degrees above room temparature, and I just lay in it. I also find this helps just before bed on those hot, clammy, muggy nights where you can't sleep.

Please don't go and jump in an ice cold bath as that could be shocking to your system, and potentially fatal.

A bit late now it's Wednesday but the following really does work as long as it's done as soon as possible.

Get a napkin/handkerchief and soak it in white wine. Wring out so it's not dripping but still wet. Lay it on the affected part and leave it until dry. As the alcohol evaporates it takes the burn heat with it.

You will still be red but no burning or tightness

May 2009 at 13:17 Definitely skin moisturizing creams.. nearly every half hour for the first 2-3 hours.. then every 2-3 hours.. you are a bit late but still the solution works.. ps: yoghurt also works but does the same thing as moisturizers..
