Skincare tips for minor burns 👇 1. Cool the burn. Immediately immerse the burn in cool (not ice cold) tap water for about 20 minutes. This helps reduce burn depth, pain, swelling, & skin injury. 2. Apply petroleum jelly two to three times daily, to protect the skin and allow for better healing. 3. Cover the burn with a nonstick, sterile bandage. If blisters form, let them heal on their own while keeping the area covered. Do not pop the blisters, as the blister roof serves as a natural bandage to protect against infection. 4. Protect the area from the sun. UV rays from the sun impair wound healing and can lead to hyperpigmentation. Once the skin has healed over & a bandage is no longer necessary, use sun protective clothing or a broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen to cover the area. #skincaretips #skincareadvice #skintips #skinhealth #skinhealing #skinhealthtips #firstaidtips #skinburns #skinburntreatment #dermatologist #drdray
