Vaseline ointment with watercress and aloe vera gel are great homemade solutions that can be applied directly to light burns, 1st or 2nd degree, as happens when picking clothes or cooking. These burns cause discomfort and may form small blisters on the skin, which should not be blown. Here's how to prepare each recipe.
Ointment for burning with watercress
A good homemade ointment to burn is watercress with Vaseline because it helps relieve pain and also prevents the formation of blisters.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons liquid petroleum jelly
- 2 tablespoons watercress juice
Method of preparation
Pass the watercress through the centrifuge and mix your juice with petroleum jelly until it is evenly mixed. Pass this lotion on the burned area 3 to 4 times a day until the area is properly healed.
This ointment should be stored in a closed, dark container in the refrigerator for a maximum of 15 days.
Slim Burn Gel
A good homemade gel for burns is prepared with the gel removed from the slug because it contains properties that help in the regeneration of the skin.
Ingredients
- 2 scoops of slug gel
- 1 g of vitamin C powder or effervescent
- 80 ml of vitamin E oil
- 2 drops of lavender essential oil
Method of preparation
Mix all ingredients thoroughly with a wooden spoon and store in a clean, glass jar with a lid. Pass this gel 3 times a day in the burned region. This homemade recipe can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.
Before applying the ointment or gel, it is recommended to wash the burned region with cold water for about 2 minutes to cool the skin and prevent deeper tissues from being affected. Then the skin should be dried with a sheet of napkin and then the ointment or gel should be applied and allowed to act. It is not necessary to cover the area, but if the burn is more than 3cm in diameter, if the skin loosens or if the area is very extensive, seek medical help at first aid.
These home remedies are only suitable for small skin burns, which happen when you sneeze cooking oil or when you use the iron, for example.
