Do you have any tea? Instant or tea bags will do. Make a batch of very strong tea and let it cool. Dip old rags into it and put on your sunburn.(Cover up anything you don't want stained, like upholstery, etc. As soon as one rag gets warm, dip another into the liquid. Keep this up until the tannic acid in the tea draws the "heat" out. Don't put it into the fridge, as you might get chilled from the heat of the sunburn. Good luck. You may still peel, but the pain will go.

You have to see the sun to get a sunburn. Hopefully we will have a drying trend this weekend with some sunshine! :D

Thank you everyone, I am using a combination of milk and tea bags... not at the same time... but alternately... the burn is much better today... *huggles all*

Actually, cloudy days can result in the worst sunburns---something about the UV's filtering or something--.

I learned that the hard way about ten years ago.

when I was a kid my momma used to boil tea till it was sooooo strong then let it cool off.... the tannic acid in the tea took the sting out...... just rubbed it on with a cotton ball ..... at least thats what she said and it worked ....I have red hair and freckles..... fry in the sun ,,,,,,,,,,, it worked ...

Asprin opens the tiny blood vessels and lets the heat out.

When I was a silly 16 year old, lay out in the sun all day without my mother around, my back was very blistered and red... and she put tannic acid jelly on my back and arms... was off work for a week....!!! Silly me....
