Yes I agree with Catherine on this one, aloe vera works well, but the
best relief is, not getting suburnt.

A Little Rant ...

Born in the UK, I was one of those 'lucky' people with olive skin
which very rarely burns. We emigrated to Australia in 1980, and my
mother always coated my sisters & I with sunscreen each morning, and
moisturized us each night. My Aussie friends thought this was
hillarious, but 20 yrs later they are not laughing any more.

At age 30, I too have problems convincing some establishments that I
am 'of age', never mind being the mother of four kids.

Consider also, that this was 20 yrs ago, when a tan was cool & we
didn't even know the cause of skin cancer.
