1. Cool Water

So, an effective way to ease sunburn right away, even when you’re outside, is to jump in the water, be it a stream, lake, or ocean. Immersing in and out of the water throughout the day can prevent your sunburn from getting worse.
Remember to be wary of pools because they contain chlorinated water, which can increase your skin’s irritation. Also, avoid directly applying ice when your skin is burning, even though it looks appealing, as it could actually cause even more damage.
2. Baking Soda & Oatmeal

You can also add a cup of oats to your bath because oatmeal will help you soothe irritation, prevent more damage, and make your skin maintain its natural moisture.
While in the bath, don’t ever try to scrub your skin, and even after getting out. Dry yourself using a soft towel. Without rubbing!
3. Aloe Vera
