Suffering from really hot sun burns

Omg...my skin's really red. My relatives, bros and I went to a place to catch crabs and hell the weather was really hot enough to turn my brown hair to black and my poor fair skin as been roasted. I think I need a coffin of ice and freezing water. Anybody has tips on how to treat my sunburns? Because it really hurts.
*grumbles* This is one of the reasons why I hate outdoors and prefer to stay indoors...

Lots of soothing cream
Don't get it soaked in ice or something, I think that damages the skin

Oh...I got lots of 'em XD. Just had a cold bath. I think my skin is hot enough to fry an egg.

Ouch I had sunburns before and I know there's not fun. But i would recomend getting some kind of lotion for that's for treating sunburns. The kind with aloe vera in it would probably be your best bet.

Yes, get aloe vera. Don't put regular moisturizers on, those will only make it worse. Drink lots of water, too.

With Nurann on this one, Aloe helps speed up the healing time, regular 'burn' creams only irritate and make it ten times worse..
