I went to the pool today and I did put on sunscreen TWICE and I still got some sunburn on my face and shoulders ( lol I look like a red white and tan zebra!). What are some things I can do to stop the stinging and maybe heal it faster?

There are a few ways:
•Taking a cold shower
•Wear loose fitting clothes
•Apply aloe vera lotion
•Yogurt on your skin actually helps [I've tried it]
•Frozen peas
I'm sure if you look on the internet you'd find many home remedies to choose from. For example:
If you soak a dish towel with cooled coffee and lay it across the sunburned areas of your body it will be completely gone the next morning. My daughter has very fair skin and it has worked amazingly 3 times now, from a bad burn to nothing in the morning. The results are amazing.

I would go with the actual juice from aloe vera. If you happen to have a plant around the house, snap off a leaf and break it in two and spread over effected area.
