    is aloe vera the same thing as an aloe plant? cause if not try that. Either that or try this:

    step 1Gathering materials

    You will need a total of five things. 1)A bathtub to do this in (preferably ceramic, so it wont stain) 2)A pitcher 3)A rag that you dont mind getting stained 4)Water 5)Three bags of black tea (I use Earl Grey)

    step 2Fill the pitcher

    First things first, strip down, because you dont want to get any of your clothes wet. Fill the pitcher with warm water and soak the tea bags in it. When you have the water almost black, like the picture, then move on to step 3.

    step 3Healing the wound

    Dunk the rag into the tea, and dab it onto the sunburn. DO NOT WIPE IT OFF! Leave it on and let it be absorbed into your skin. Once its dry, re-apply as necessary, but never wash it off. If you do this process before bedtime, you can go to sleep and give it time to work its magic. In the morning you can wash it off in your shower. The sunburn should be substantially subs…

    idk if it works so good luck with your sunburn

    Take some advil or other pain reliever for the sunburn pain.

    Take a cool shower or bath to ease the immediate pain. This will work while your skin is cool, but as soon as you get out of the bath/shower and your skin warms up again, it will hurt.

    Apply cool, wet compresses to the burned area whenever you need relief from the heat. For extra relief, soak the compresses in peppermint tea or green tea.

    Apply a gentle moisturizer to your skin of you like. It will help return your skin to normal levels of moisture, but it won't help relieve the pain of the burn.

    Good luck!
