I am a redhead and I get the freckles/tan/white/red thing going on.

I keep a can of Solarcain in the fridge for those kind of painful burns. The fridge makes it nice and cold for application. I recommend doing this outside as the spray is stinky.

After that application, I follow up up with real Aloe gel or Aloe straight from my plant. Just cut one of the lower leaves and squeeze the juice out.

Just a tip, for the face use at least an SPF8 moisturizer or sunblock. When you continually expose your face to the sun you will get premature signs of aging.
