Sunblock will prevent you from getting burnt. A tan is basically damaged skin rising to the surface. SPF probably will not prevent you from getting a tan. However, your tan will be much less apparant than when you did not use sunblock. Depending on how long you spend in the sun, your skin will probably turn a few shades darker, but it will not be a tan color.
The pain goes away within a few days. If you keep washing the sunburnt area with cold water, it will feel better. Don't rub it too hard, though. Tip: if you shower with cold water within the first few hours after you get your sunburn, your pain will lessen significantly until the sunburn goes away.
You may want to consider using a moisturizer that contains SPF. I use Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer SPF 30 on my face. It also evens out skin tone and texture, even celebrities use it. I LOVE it-- my face has totally looked clearer and healthier. If you burn easily on your stomach, you may even want to apply this product before you hit the beach.
Remember, SPF is in and skin cancer is out, so remember to apply sunscreen. <3

Sunblock usually provents you from getting tan, hence the block part :) but sometimes it might, sometimes it doesnt. I suggest putting some lotion on your stomach, or aloe to make your stomach feel better, but dont put it on and then go out in the sun, make sure your not going out right then. Hope I helped! Happy Summer!

Sunblock won't prevent you from getting a tan. It may be harder to tan, but you're better off that way. (I assume that because of the burn experience you know why).
I know a lot about sunburns because I just about get 1 every summer. Mainly because I forget to reapply and stuff until the memory of pain comes back to me.
What happens for me is it doesn't bother me the first day. I put aloe on ASAP and every single day once when I wake up, once in the middle of the day, and once about an hour or two before I go to bed. For the next 2-3 days it hurts. Then it starts to peel and itch like crazy (at least for me it itches like crazy).
Pretty much (in my experience) it takes about a week to heal. Either way I wouldn't go swimming/tanning for about a week after the burn. If the burn has yet to peel and is still red and/or sore then I would wait longer.
Normally you would wait until after the peeling has ended or come close to ending because as it's peeling you're losing 1+ layer(s) of skin and your skin while burned and while peeling is much more sensitive.
Anyway, give it about a week. Normally it's not longer than that as long as the burn isn't really bad.
