Being redhead, I have been burned a lot. Aloe works, I've heard the vinager bath works well. Also, if you get a towel wet with cold water (it helps if you put it over the a/c or a fan) and put it on the burn, it draws out the heat. One more thing I tried once is tomato slices. For some reason (I'm not sure why) it works to keep the skin from blistering. But aloe is most def the best thing as long as it's pure. I feel for you guys! Sunburns are NO FUN! Try BullFrog next time... I swear by the stuff, and have even been able to tan through it (and for me that's saying a lot since I usually just burn and peel in that order).
