How to quickly recover your sunburned face back to the way it is? such as making it fair again and less dry

Depends, but soon: It depends on how sunburnt it is. If it's mild it shouldn't take more than a week. If you are very red, your face may peel. In this case your complexion may take longer to even out. In either case you can use over the counter moisturizers, creams, or aloe to help with the dryness.
