Chamomile flowers are great for sunburn and act instantly as they have relaxing and amazing anti-inflammatory properties that quickly soothe your inflamed sunburnt skin and thus lighten the skin tone as well. Sunburn is an inflammatory reaction on the skin from UV exposure and thus brewing some fresh chamomile tea in the area allows it to cool down. You can thus soak a dry towel in the tea and then apply it to the affected area.
