When someone gets sunburned (which I try to make sure never happens), that evening I make them take a cool bath, dry off, and then apply "Burts Bees, Hand Salve, a Farmer's Friend". I apply it liberally and then have them sleep overnight with the salve on. In the morning, no more sunburn. Or at least, no more redness and stinging (again I have no idea if it actually cures anything). I have never applied it to a bad sunburn, like with blisters and the such, so I have no idea if it would help in that case, but for mild sunburns it is amazing.
And it smells amazing too!

also, I've added you to my bloggy roll for holiday haven inspirations.
I use that in the winter on my hands because they get so dry. I have never tried it on a sunburn, but will give it a try if there ever is one. (I too, lather the sunscreen on, so we seldom have a burn in our household)
