Plain unflavored youghurt will give remarkable results.
Just slather it on as you need it. A little carton goes a long way.
I used to live on St Croix and it worked wonders healing the sun broiled scandinavian tourists.
If nothing else, try rubbing it with plain milk, Somehow the protein in the milk seems to help the burned skin.
