Sunburn

I have sunburned arms, face and feet, despite the factor 25. What can I do to calm it down, other than moisturise the burned bits?

Thanks all. We both put on vast amounts of factor 50 and remembered to reapply it to us as well as DS today. Tesco had a bottle of Banana Boat aloe vera gel which is helping hugely. No blistering or peeling, thankfully. DS played on the sand in sunhat and victorian gentleman-style swimming cossie while we took it in turns to hide in the shade. And I bought an enormous floppy hat.

The body shop used to do an after sun spray that worked well.

Have just read the Amazon reviews, am going to get some P20 when current spf50 stuff runs out, thanks for the tip.
