Other remedies I've heard of are Overripe tomato slices on the burn (shower afterwards), lemon juice (it hurts, but it works), vinegar, rubbing alcohol, aloe vera lotion, cocao butter sticks (99c rite aid), and ice. Popping the bubbles just aggravates your skin more, so even though it's gross to leave them, don't do it. I've heard that scientists are formulating a "morning after" pill for sunburn, so keep your eyes open for that.

Soak some paper towel in the tea, after the tea has cooled off in the refrigerator. Apply the cool paper towel to the area that has been burned and leave on far about 20 - 30 minutes. If this is applied as soon as the sunburned has occurred it will prevent the skin from burning more and usually it will prevent the skin from bubbling. These towel can be made ahead of time and then frozen and applied as the thaw. Make strong tea. Soak some paper towel in the tea, after the tea has cooled off in the refrigerator.

You just take a soft cloth and gently apply as much as you need or want. HTH and good luck! I have heard for many years that the tannin in strong tea can help to relieve sunburn.

I put aloe vera gel on it and it keeps it from burning to bad. I also rubbed my hands on the bubbles to pop them, then it felt better and went away faster. But aloe vera gel always helps it.
