How to treat a burn

Before you apply burn ointment--try this instead!!!

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• cold water or ice cubes
• aloe vera for sunburns

1. The first thing you should always do (and first instinct) is to go run this burn under cold water, right?? You can also use ice cubes too held in place of your burn spot.
2. After the first initial cooling down, go to your medicine cabinet and find your Aloe Vera gel for sunburns.
3. Constantly apply the Aloe Vera to the affected area and let sit until it dries. Apply again and again until your pain is dulled. For sleeping, you can also apply aloe vera and then a band aid on top so it won't rub at night.
4. Feel better!

Tips & Warnings

• After direct contact to your burn, directly apply cold water or ice to skin so a blister won't arise.
• Some burns are worse than others and need special attention. Go to a hospital if needed for professional care.
