New Year's Eve after the beach 
I'm so mad at myself. I'm usually sooooo good with sunscreen but I was having so much fun I forgot to re-apply! Any good sunburn remedies? I'm doing vinegar washes at the moment and its definatley helping. I haven't been this badly burnt in years and years. I'm going to have a terrible sleep tonight - it's 10pm and its still 27 degrees celcius!

Ouch! That looks painful 
Keep up with ibuprofen to help the inflammation. Hope you get some relief soon.

I agree, Motrin works wonders on sunburns! Numbing spray before you try to lay down maybe. Hope it feels better soon!!

Noxema or face cream. Especially if you store the cream in the fridge. Just have somebody rub it in multiple times a day.

I got a terrible sunburn over the summer. I used cool Noxema on MaisyMay's recommendation and it felt wonderful.

I would soak a wash cloth in cold, cold water and then lay it on there. It will soak up the heat and stop it from 'cooking' more if you over it with cream or something. Keep doing this until the wash cloth stops getting hot.

Eeessh ouchies! Ice it if you can, cold showers to take the heat away and paracetamol to bring down your body temp and numb the pain a little.

Ugh, the worst. I'm super pale and was born and raised in Florida. I still manage to get burned this badly like once a year, and I so know better. It just gets so old reapplying every 20 minutes. I agree with everyone else. Vinegar, aloe, Motrin.
