As someone who loves laying by a pool, hates applying sunscreen and is of Irish descent, I have dealt with my fair share of sunburns. Which also means I’ve dealt with my fair share of sunburn remedies. Which means I’m an expert and you have to listen to what I’m about to tell you.

Disclaimer: I’m not actually an expert. But Cosmo might as well be, and they agree with me.
