Face Burned Help!?
Question:
Answers:
I use aloe all the time for my sun burns and it helps to moisturize and heal my face without giving my acne. You have to buy organic aloe lotion, not the kinds loaded with a bunch of chemicals. If your face is that sensitive to it you should go to your doctor and they can prescribe a burn relief lotion that will suit your skin.
Good luck!
There is this stuff i buy called "Ocean Potion" it cools ur skin as soon as u put it on, u can buy it at any walmart or k-mart. its usually a clear bottle and inside is a blue liquid with bubbles in it
Aloe stuff that causes acne? I use "aloe stuff" to heal acne lol. Aloe is great for burns. It's important for your skin to heal properly and aloe will help. Even if you do get acne isn't it important for the burn to heal properly and not to cause permanent damage?
If you have natural aloe products they WON'T cause acne! I use them for more than 6 years to help people deal with all kinds of skin problems. Never caused acne, never!
If you're talking about sunburn, vinegar stinks, but relieves the pain very fast. Egg whites are also very good according to my therapist.
you dont have to do the first 2 steps, but I suggest them.
1.) Mix together 2-3 different exfoliators. If you want home remedies, go to www.dole.com and go to the spa section. that will tell you all different friuts that are exfoliators and moisturizers. Put the mixture on your face. take off after 5-10 min.
2.) Mix together 2-3 different moisturizers. apply to face. remove after 10-15 min.
3.)Mix together honey and lemon or lime juice. Apply the mixure to your face. Here's my favorite part; lie down and read a book or put cucumbers on your eyes or pick up the phone and call a friend to tell them this great way to relax or what ever you want to do. I don't suggest doing something stressful because that will cause pimples.
4.) Remove mixture from you face after 10-15 min. at the least. repeat steps for the next 3-5 days at least.
noxema works wonderfully.
cold water is the best/only first aid when you burn yourself - 20 minutes under the tap and no less. NEVER ice OR vinegar OR milk OR butter OR green tea OR mustard OR toothpaste OR sunscreen OR semen OR vaseline OR tomatoes OR vanilla extract OR yogurt OR sour cream OR egg white OR egg yellow OR lavender oil OR cocoa butter OR salt OR tea bags OR potato OR shaving cream OR olive oil OR baking soda OR banana peel OR petroleum jelly OR whipped cream OR avocado OR bacon grease OR corn starch OR turmeric OR lemon juice OR curd OR pickle juice OR soy sauce OR urine OR talcum powder OR mashed strawberries OR exfoliating scrub OR mayonnaise OR peroxide OR bleach OR deep heat OR ketchup OR red grapes OR hairspray- not until the skin is fully healed!
ibuprofen or aspirin will help but large burns are often accompanied by stomach ulcers, so tylenol/panadol is best for pain if you are gonna tough it out. drink plenty of water or energy drinks that don't have caffeine (gatorade)
i would advise that you cover the burnt area with white soft paraffin (white petroleum) or aqueous cream bp. (check the links below and see if you can find a local equivalent). wash the burn and reapply every 4-6 hours - cover with cling wrap if you wish to cover with clothes - this will stop your clothes getting covered with paraffin and maintains the burn. cling wrap alone is also ok if you can't get hold of any paraffin. it acts as a protective artificial skin - helping retain moisture and protect from further damage and pain.
aloe is good coz it remoisturises but that moisture can be quickly lost as the skin can't contain fluids. so put aloe on, and then the paraffin on over the top. if there is broken skin leave out the aloe - just paraffin.

finally if you are really worried go to a hospital that has a burns unit or plastic surgeons. serious sunburn i.e. blisters (and all other burns) should be seen by a burns trained doctor or nurse.
