What to do When You Burn Yourself with a Curling Iron

I love my curling iron. It makes my hair gorgeous and it also gives my hair a natural look. Though I am smitten by this gadget I hate the fact that it inevitably causes burns on my face. No matter how careful I am; I always end up burning my skin and scalp. Even the slightest touch can cause huge burns and inevitably scars.

Do not use cold water on the area that has been burnt. This is normally the first reaction; but it shouldn’t be. Cold water gives the area an instant shock as the area has just has a heat shock. In order to prevent this you must use room temperature water. Applying milk on the area will give you better effects than water. The presence of lactic acid in the milk will help to relieve any burning and stinging sensation caused by the burn. Soak a wash cloth in the water or the milk and place it on the area that has been burnt. Doing this immediately will help to reduce any scarring and also prevent formation of blisters as a result of the burn.

After you have washed the area use a vitamin E based oil or cream and leave it one for a few hours. This will ensure that the skin receives the lost moisture. Do this as often as needed. Use Aloe Vera gel or Vitamin E oil on the skin in order to decrease the risk of a scar. Do this daily in order to restore the pigmentation. Do not try to cover the area with any cosmetics in order to hide the scar. The cosmetics may cause irritation on the skin and lead to further complications. In order to prevent this you must refrain from covering up the scar with any cosmetics. You must not cover the skin but let it breathe in order to let it heal quicker.

Once the scar is healed you must avoid tying to pull of the scab. Instead let it come of on its own course. When the scab comes of completely then you must use a gentle scrub on your skin to get rid of any skin discoloration.
