Sunburned Face & Body! Help?!?

Ok so I went to a waterpark on Thursday, which now it's Saturday I believe. I didn't put sunscreen on at first, because it wasn't that sunny/hot, and I was stupid and lazy. I asked this question exactly a year ago, and I'm once again, sunburned in the same place. So I put 4 different aloe bottles in the refrigerator, and some face lotion, so it's cool when I put it on. It hurts to move my face around the creases, my nose, my mouth and I'm kind of already peeling a little bit. I looked back at the 18 answers I received last year, but I'm going to ask again for others' solutions. So please help! If you have multiple step processes or fast acting solutions besides just saying "aloe vera" or "aloe", please let me know! Thanks!!

Update:

I'm also drinking lots of water to help keep my skin hydrated. Sunburns from my face, to my neck, to my chest, across my shoulders, down my back, and onto to my thighs. /: But one last time and one this time said vinegar works??

    Ok so of course you know that you should keep it as moisturized as possible (it will hurt less to move) but I usually have a few damp rags in the freezer so i can keep switching them out, and keep patting the sunburn with it.

    A while ago, I also tried putting Vinegar on my sunburn and it totally worked! It was pratically gone the next day (and it doesn't sting) I think that would be worth a try.

    Taking cool bath, maybe with some finely ground oatmeal can help to sooth it.

    Uh, that's all I got. hah. Good luck!

    I hear that cool baths with 2-3 cups of vinegar can help or a gallon of milk or 2 cups of oatmeal or 1-2 cups of baking soda. You want to soak for at least 30 minutes.

    Apply plain yogurt to the areas.

    Fill a spray bottle with water and some corn starch and spray it on the burns...

    Apply raw egg whites to the areas.

    Spray witch hazel directly on the burns.
