Ok,so earlier today I went swimming and put on a lot of sunscreen but I still got burned because I'm really pale.
I'm mostly burned on my face,arms and shoulders,but it's not peeling,yet.
I put on an aloe Vera gel for sunburns but it doesn't help with the redness. Does anybody know about anything to take away the sunburn redness quickly? (I'm going to an important event in a couple day so I really need for it to go away.) I appreciate any help!

You should first of all get the heat out of your skin by taking a cool shower, then apply an aloe Vera gel. This will help heal the skin itself so it does not peel extremely. To help with redness an oatmeal and milk mixture usually works prerfectly.

Definitely use aloe vera gel, from the plant is better but not many people keep them!

You can actually freeze aloe Vera gel in ice cube trays and let it melt on your skin, works a treat and feels amazing!

Milk will take out the burn and the redness. It's gross yes but that's what I used when I used to swim. Also if you ever get chlorine in your eyes and they burn mix milk and water and put it in your eyes.

Dun put aloevera more on your skin as it can cause itchyness feeling...try to put youghurt oatmeal face pack as yoghurt vl give cooling effect on skin.

I agree with the aloe vera and milk. And also with the apple cider vinegar to prevent peeling.
