Brew some tea, then make just like you would for ice tea. Place wet cloth with the tea and place on sunburn. Tea is
a natural healing for burns. My doctor told me to use tea after I had lasor surgery. It felt worked soooooo good

Cool water - the comment on cold cloths was a good one. Cool water is the best for minor burns - fill the bath and get in!!

Don't know if this would work. I use it when I burn my self on the oven. PAM. When using on a burn, it will take out the sting, and never blisters up. Won't hurt.
Please be careful and hope you enjoy your stay with friend.

A paste of cool water and baking soda might help. I have also heard of people using cool buttermilk. I hope you feel better soon.

Someone suggested Noczema, I wouldn't. It will dry it ou and make it peel and itch worse! Try used tea bags--the tannic acid draws out the sting.

lavender essential oil, applied sparingly.

St. John's wort oil, applied liberally

lavender infusion--brew a few spoonfuls of lavender flowers, dried or fresh, soak a towel in the water, apply to burned areas

Use Noxzema for now, that will cool some of the burn.
I don't have Noxzema... all I have is Vaseline Intensive care lotion :( and I know for a fact that my friend doesn't... she doesn't have my terrible skin! lol

We have the air on and I'm really really hot too... Sorry for complaining so much!
I've always heard that plain Vaseline traps the heat in, making the burn worse. Please try something else.
