I use apple cider vinegar for sunburn. Get into the shower and douse yourself liberally with the vinegar on all sunburned places. let it dry, the smell will be gone. It works and is a standby in our family for 5 generations! It is good for itches, and other skin conditions. Good soap remover for you hair, too.
