During the day, keep it lathered with Aloe, as the aloe absorbs into the skin, put more on. At night, use Preparation H (don't laugh, it works). Preparation H won't absorb into the skin like aloe will so provieds comfort all night. It removes heat, reduces swelling and relieves the itchy/burning sensation.
My family doctor told my parents to use this on me like 25 years ago when I got a bad sunburn and I've been using it for sunburns ever since.
I have also heard that soaking the burned area in condensed milk will work as well, but have never tried it.
