I find aloe helps a lot.I have a few aloe plants and for any burns I split the aloe stalk and the pure gel inside is fantastic for soothing.
Don't know where you are Suzanne in Wales but it has been scorching here near Colwyn Bay today!!

Been 96f here in Lincoln today.

Aloe plant is fantastic. I got burnt some years ago while in Florida, visting a friend there. She had an aloe plant in her garden and cut off a slice and wiped it on the burnt area and it helped straight away.
