KEEP THE SKIN COOL

hour for four to five hours or until bed time.
For bedtime you should apply a soothing cream or ointment.
You might also soak in a tub of cool water to which you've added baking
soda. Don't use cold water on a very large burn (over both legs, for example). It could cause a condition called total body hypothermia, when your core body temperature drops below normal. It could be fatal.LET YOURSELF AIR-DRY

indirectly soothe sunburn pain.

PLANT

pain from sunburn. Many doctors suggest taking two aspirin or ibuprofen after
sun exposure.
