Self-Care Tips Cool the affected area with clean towels, cloths or gauze dipped in cool water, or take a cool bath or shower. Apply aloe vera gel to the burned area 2-3 times a day. When you go in the sun again put sunscreen on and cover sunburned skin so you don't get burned more. Rest in a cool, quiet room. Find a comfortable position.
