How to get ride of a sunburn?

[FallOutBoy2001]

I swim, and at our meet today, I forgot to put on sunscreen and got a bitching sunburn. My back is burnt, my face is burnt, and my arms are burnt. Does anyone have any tips on how to get rid of my sunburn (or at least speed up my recovery) or to minimize the pain?

i bought aloe vera lotion and put it all over... if it's super itchy, you can put on a little benadryl gel. i did that, it helped lol. i scratched my neck so hard, all the capillaries around my neck ruptured and it looked like someone tried to strangle me :x so don't itch it!

Time is the only real way to get rid of a sunburn that I know of. You can reduce the pain with aloe lotion.

You can try aloe gel! That helps a lot, but better if you buy the actual plant at the grocery store.

Bathe in milk and put vinegar on it
