Well, I guess the most important step to preventing any sun damage to your skin is to never, ever forget you put on sun block whenever youre outside for prolonged periods of time. Use a sun block with an SPF of 40 or higher and re-apply every one to two hours, even if water/sweat proof as the SPF starts to break down as soon as it touches water. Try and avoid sun blocks made with any artificial fragrances or chemical bases as they can cause some serious allergic reactions like redness, itchiness, and burning. Using a quality sun block whenever you're in direct sun is the best defense against sun damage.
Eating an antioxidant rich diet, help to fight off the Free Radicals in the skin, which is essentially the same cancer causing effect, equivalent to staying out in the sun unprotected. Proper vitamin C and E levels in the skin and body also aid in protecting the skin from sun damage.
Aloe is one of the oldest and most popular treatments for sunburn, as well as literally hundreds of other ailments. It is a natural antiseptic, while cooling, soothing and healing damaged skin. Use only the purest aloe you can find and if you have an aloe plant cut it open and use the gel like fluid inside on the burned area every two hours or as needed. Try and avoid any Aloe-esque products that may have a cooling agent, artificial fragrance or the words "made with real Aloe" as the can actually irritate skin, which is not something you want when you have sunburn. Again find the purest Aloe you can for the most relief.
