I would consider a second degree sunburn where you are very red to the point you an not comfortably touch the skin at all, or if you have any blisters.
sometimes in cases of bad sunburn you can get "sun sick" as i have heard it called. Chills, nausea, light headed and very tired. This is likely due to the trauma of being burnt and getting dehydrated and simply being too hot.
If you feel at all lightheaded or sick to your stomach , get into air conditioning right away! Drink some water or Gatorade to get your electrolytes back if you do not feel better right away you may have heat exhaustion and need medial help .Take care of your burn by applying aloe with lidocaine (name brand, Solarcaine) to help with the pain, and taking a pain reliever to help with the inflammation and discomfort .I would take a cool oatmeal/milk bath to soothe the skin and help with the upcoming itching. If you have blisters DO NOT POP them this will make it worse, they will either go down on their own or pop on their own, leave them be. you can get a serious infection if you pop them.
They may get burnt, but not everyone will get the same degree of sunburn (all are 1st or second degree burns). People have differing amounts of melanin in their skin.
