Aloe can prevent it from getting worse and will help with the pain.
After the first few hours, fill a pitcher with warm water and drop in three bags of BLACK TEA. The tannic acid and theobromine in black tea helps remove heat from sunburn. Other compounds in tea, called catechins, help prevent and repair skin damage. Let the tea bags soak until the water has turned a rich, dark black color. Soak up with a hand towel, and place that over the burns for a few hours. Your skin can heal the burn as long as the skin hasn't died and started to peel.
