If the skin is healed from the burn, you could wash your back with a stiff washrag or one of those scrubby shower things. Just be careful not to push too hard as it will hurt. After that, use a good moisturizer.

Second, quit getting sunburns. Wear sunscreen everyday of your life. When you're 40 and look 25, you'll thank me. :)
