How do I get rid of a sunburn fast?
I was out swimming yesterday and didn't put sunscreen on or whatever and got sunburned really bad. I've never been sunburnt like this before and it hurts and is ugly. I don't want to finish out the school year with nasty red skin. How can I get rid of a sunburn really fast or overnight? Is there anything that can get the "burn" out of the sunburn too because it hurts? :(

i have had a severe sunburn once every year since i was a little girl. I just get it once then it fades to tan until the next year. I do use aloe vera for the peeling but it never really soothes the skin. the best gel I have found is called burn free. paramedics carry it with them to calm minor to more severe burns. It takes the heat out and can be found online or at a first aid store.

A bad sunburn will never go away overnight, but here are a few tricks to speed up the recovery and help the appearance.
Fore the pain, aloe vera is the best cure. Leave it in the refridgerator for extra relief.
However, make sure to use lots of lotion to prevent pealing. Use Intensive Care Eucerine for best results, you can find it at Walgreens or even Wal-Mart. Apply throughout the day and before you go to bed. The only thing worse than sunburn is pealing skin! This also speeds up your skins healing and the redness will go away faster.
If you have any on your face I would get some green concealer. I know it sounds wierd, putting green on your face, but it completely takes away redness immediately. Then just put your regular powder or whatever makeup you use right over it and you won't be able to see the sunburn at all.
Get better soon! And have a great end of the school year :)

When I get a really bad sunburnt, I use aloe vera. You can find it any drugstore, but the specific one I use that has always helped both with the appearance and pain of a sunburn is Banana Boat After Sun Lotion with aloe vera. Check out the drugstore aisle that has all the suntan lotions.
