Fill a spray bottle with cold water and keep spraying your legs. You could use tea but it will stain. You definitely need to cool them down.
Just thought of something else. For burns, we learnt to put a layer of cling film over the burn because its the air pressure on the skin that causes the pain. It's worth a try.

I remember the Greek yogurt on my legs when I was in Greece about ten years old, my legs were really burnt! Really cools them down and takes that sting away! Xxx

Just buy some calamine lotion. Cheaper than putting tomorrow's dinner on your legs and designed for the job. Simple.

Whenever I get sun burn I use the highest percentage aloe Vera, place it in the fridge and it will cool it down and help the healing process. I always burn my nose, I look like I've been sticking it in unwanted places once it heals! ;D

This happened to me last summer, I had third degree burns all over my back and my legs, I couldn't move and layer in bed for a week.
I went to the doctors and he prescribed me a cream that helped but I used a cooling spray as well.

Soltan Aftersun Lotion with Tan Prolonger 200ml - Boots
I like this
And it helps the tan last longer... although given you've only done one side, you could end up looking like Ross out of friends....

Hello from a serious point of view I suggest you go to the chemist or drug store not sure what it's called.
And buy some vitamin A tablets . When you burn in the sun you need to replenish the levels high doses ASAP and stat. The main ingredient to the most well known sun product is this.
Take 10 x 10 000 iu immediately then repete the next day.
Your liver is also trying to process the burn it's not just a physical outward process you have actually damaged your skin. And you might feel nauseous or dizzy or just not well or tired for the next day or so. It's your body trying to repair itself.
I have done this myself where I burnt so badly I couldn't even low down it was terrible I don't wish or upon my worst enemy. Ok I lie I might want my ex to feel the pain but besides him , no one!
Lol

You didn't put sunscreen before you go outside? You can make your own lotion at home. Natural yogurt can cure your sun burn and drink plenty of water to hydrate your body and skin. Use loose dress in affected area and protect your skin from sun.
