My face is only just slightly red from a little sun exposure today. is it ok to use cream?

What cream?: If the cream you are talking about is just something like a moisturizer, go for it. On the other hand, if it's a medicated cream used to treat a skin condition ( such as an acne treatment or a topical steroid), then the skin could get quite irritated even after just a minor sun exposure.
