Is there a good remedy to soothe a sunburn?

Topical Sprays: The topical anaesthetic sprays for sunburn are helpful as are medications such as Ibuprofen and acetomenophen. We all should use sunblock for ultraviolet ray exposure. Prevention is the best cure, especially persons with fair skin. While we need some sun exposure for vitamin d, skin cancers are on the rise and may be prevented by avoiding excessive exposure to the sun and ultraviolet rays.

Aloe: It's pretty slippery but nothing beats breaking off a branch off an aloe plant and rubbing lightly over the burn. Works well for any minor burn!
