I burned my hand while cooking last night. This is how I treated it:

1. Cold water

2. Aloe‬ juice from an aloe plant in my kitchen (very handy – highly recommend having one in your home, low maintenance plant too)

3. Lightstim‬ red light therapy – I shone the light on the area to reduce the inflammation as quickly as possible. Healing wounds is another use for this tool.

4. Antibiotic‬ ointment on a blister – for the most part, the burn was first degree (skin was red). But a small part was second degree (it blistered).

5. Dermalogica‬ Ultracalming Serum Concentrate on the first degree burn a few hours later

6. Circadia‬ by Dr. Pugliese Tranquili Cream (over the serum) – this has SEA WHIP, a powerful anti-inflammatory ingredient.

7. Band-aid over the blister before bed – applied ointment first, then the band-aid, to keep the wound moist. This minimizes scarring.
