Anyone got any good remedies for curing sunburn?
I managed to get burnt yesterday so I look like some sort of dodgy bronze god on my arms, and I've got a wanker's tan on the rest of my body. So, anyone got any good tips for getting rid of sunburn?

Hitting yourself with a very big hammer is good I've heard
Or aloe vera and aftersun.

Nah.
DRies the skin out even more. Put some live natural yoghurt on it and after a while wash it off with wateras hot as you can stand. Then loads of aftersun. Works for me.

I don't know about curing it
But slice a large tomato in half and smear it on the sunburnt area. It helps soothe and reduce it a bit, and apparently works as well as any aftersun cream or anything.

Tomatoes do work
They cool it and reduce the redness. Have a nice bath too.
