Aloe Vera is always good.

They also have a spray called Solarcaine, which I've used. It's okay.

The Aloe Vera will probably help the skin more, though. The think the spray simply stops the burning sensation.

Some advise from an old man:
Better keep it in mind to AVOID sun burn, does you no good those burns.

Remember, the more you get sunburn, the higher your risk for skin cancer. Make sure to wear some sunblock with at least 30 SPF.

I usually do, but it was raining when i went out, and in the forecast it said rain, but when i got out there to the concert the sun came out and it was like 30 degrees :S a stranger gave me sun screen, but it was too late the damage was done

You can get buttermilk in your local grocery shop (I suppose). It is cheaper than all this chemical stuff and also more effective.
