We are in mauritius on honeymoon and my wife got sunburnt bad on her shoulders. we used sunblock but it still got bad. what can we use?

Moisturizer: Avoid further sun exposure and apply any moisturizer or emollient to keep the skin hydrated and facilitate healing. Wish you and your wife good health. Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form.
