Drink lots of fluids, water especially. If you don't stay hydrated, you will feel worse, almost like suffering from a hangover with added pain from the burn. Get some aloe vera gel, even better if you can find it with lidocaine in it. You want to keep a lot of lotion on your skin to keep it moist. If you don't the burn feels worse and you will peel a lot more. Take lots of cool showers or soak in a cool tub. An oatmeal bath will also work to relieve the pain of the burn.
