“What helps sunburn before bed?”

Cold soy milk compresses
Over the counter Sarna lotion
Omnilux low energy laser light

Taking frequent, cool baths or showers will be soothing to your sunburn. Right after bathing, gently pat your skin dry but leave it slightly damp and then immediately apply a moisturizing cream or lotion that has aloe vera. By trapping the moisture, this will help prevent your skin from becoming too dry. If you are having any discomfort from the sunburn, you may experience relief by taking Aspirin or Ibuprofen. For milder cases, you could apply cool tap water to the affected area followed by over-the-counter 1% Hydrocortisone cream, but if you experience significant burning pain, or blistering, it would be best to schedule to see your dermatologist for an examination and prescription medication.
