Answers: my face is burning so bad!! its like on fire!! what should i put on my face for wind burn?
First off Ill start by letting u know that there is no such thing as WIND burn..
Hunni its sunburn.. doesnt matter how overcast or dark or windy it is, its the UV from the sun thats burning you!
DO NOT put vaseline on it, do NOT use sorbelien either, do not use anything with a glycerol/glycerine agent in it (read ingredients)
If you do it would be like wrapping the burn in cling wrap - this acts as a barrier and film and traps the heat in this is where u will blister and cause yourself nasty nasty pain.
Pop down to the supermarket or chemist and grab yourself some after sun care lotion, pure witchhazel is amazing also but if you cant do that..
ICE BLACK TEA!! make a jug of black tea and pop it into the freezer - onces its completely cold, submerge a cotton buds of face washer in it and apply it to the burn.. keep it on until the material has soaked up your body heat.
Pain wise - take panadol or aspirin if you can - works a treat for minimising pain!!
a scarf
Anything you would for a sunburn. Aloe vera, cortisone cream, moisturizer, etc.
NIVEA
No Nivea or any other oil based cream... treat it like any other type of mild burn... aloe vera, vitamin E...
Aloe vera dear
wash it GENTLY with something that won't dry it out and in cold water and then PAT dry then use aloe vera that will stink but do it, then put some shea butter on it it will sting but feel good later, then make sure your face it AWAY FROM WIND AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. Hope you feel better!!
aloe vera, burn gel, or chap stick (rub your finger over the top of the stick and then rub it on your face that way)
