Vineger- It is the real deal! Probably, anything that cools the skin and reduces/relieves the inflammation will help. The tea bag treatment works well also.
The worst burn I've had in my fifty-five year old life happened about thirty-five years ago. My step-brother and I spent several hours in a ski boat on a lake. Being young and dumb (as opposed to being older and dumb, at this point!) we didn't use 'sissy stuff' like sun block:). We drove home, around a four hour drive, in a convertible. I still had on my swim trunks and, when we got home, had lobster red thighs. I've not had a burn as bad as that since. After a sleepless night I spent the next day at work pouring vineger on my legs. By that night, though my legs were still as red, they did not hurt at all. Now, if I could just find a cure for my lousy memory!

This is incredible: brew enough tea bags to cover a considerable area of the sunburn and ice down to get the tea really cold. Place the cold, wet tea bags and/or a rag drenched in the tea over the affected area, keeping the bags and rags cold. If you can submurge the burned part of the body, do so into the tea. Do this for at least one hour as often as you can (3 or so times a day) until it fades. This works for second and third degree burns as well and will prohibit scarring! The tea works as an antioxidant and pulls the heat out of your body. It stops the pain temporarily also.

Well I noticed there was a remedy with vineger in here, I just wanted to put my 2 cents in. May long weekend I got burned really bad, and i itched to the point i wanted to cry, cold showers worked until i got out (not recommended) then i tried vineger, I just sprayed it on my body where i was burned only (as it will sting if it touches unburned skin) dont wipe it of, just let it drip dry, and trust me, i slept like a baby. Reapply as often as you need, but remember, dont towel dry, DRIP DRY only, as towels will cause more irritation.

Vinager on the sunburn dose wonders...the reason people say mustard is it is a lil easyier to keep mustard from driping... if you soak a rag in vinager and aply it to the sum burn this will work.. never put anything with oils on the burn, this will only make it worse( look at that lotion b4 you put it on also... no coco buter or anything like that)

This will work for sunburns or any other kind of burn...apply regular yellow mustard to the burn. Once it dries, wash it off and this will prevent it from blistering. It really does work. I have trusted in this remedy since I was a teenager.

I have worked in the nursing field for years, People come into the ER with sunburn's wanting something for it. We tell them to go to the store and buy them some preparation H. It will take out the Burning and also reduce the swelling. It is also good for bags under the eyes

Shaving cream!!
The other day I got home from the beach and realized I was badly burned. Right away I got out the shaving cream and rubbed it into my back like I would do with lotion. I slept so well and the next morning the burn was gone. I even slept on my back! (The cool cream cools down the burn the whole night)

I found that using Noxema on the burn works very well! It will take the burn away overnite!

Vagisil - I know it sounds weird and gross but it worked for me!
I got a really bad sunburn on the back of my neck and all i had in the house that was for any kind of skin irritation but was not all greasy was vagisil... i read what the active ingredients were in it - a numbing agent and hydrocortisone which helps with inflamation, itching and burning, so i figured what the heck, it couldn't hurt any worse and it probably would help... and it worked wonders! I was pain free till noon the next day.
