Sun burn is nasty. what you've done is kill a load of skin cells by cooking them.
you cant fix the dead ones so you need to help your skin renew them:

Cool bath, takes the heat out and reduces irritation. Soak a flannel in cold water and lay with it over your face.
Aloe vera. this gel from a succulent plant(bit like a cactus) is used all over the world to treat burns. You can get it from the pharmacy.Smear it on and dont be tight with it!
moisturize,moisturize,moisturize!!!
Your skin will recover in a couple of days but dont be surprised if you get the dreaded 'peeling'.

If your skin starts to peel or flake it will look a bit nasty but here's what to do:
if the skin underneath is red or shiny then dont touch it however annoying it is.
the skin is still forming and shouldnt be exposed.
If the skin underneath looks normal and healthy and the top layer is bone dry then it's ok to peel.
Stay outta the sun for a week now and be more carefull next time. best wishes

just put on some aloe vera lotion. it will help the healing process. no big deal!
