Hi,
A sunburn is a burn to living tissue such as skin produced by overexposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun's rays.

The following tips may reduce your pain and discomfort in the hours and days following sunburn:
Take anti-inflammatory medication, such as aspirin or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others), on a regular basis according to the label instructions until redness and soreness subsides. Apply cold compresses — such as a towel dampened with cool tap water — to the affected skin. Or take a cool bath. Apply a moisturizing cream, aloe or 1 percent hydrocortisone cream to affected skin. A low-dose (0.5 percent to 1 percent) hydrocortisone cream may decrease pain and swelling, and speed up healing.

If blisters form, don't break them. They contain your natural body fluid (serum) and are a protective layer. Also, breaking blisters slows the healing process and increases the risk of infection. If needed, you can lightly cover blisters with gauze.

The "peeling" process is your body starting  to heal itself by getting rid of the top layer of damaged skin. Following this process, your skin may have an irregular color and pattern for a time.
