Simple Home Remedies For Skin Burns
I applied raw garlic on face & got skin burns, which have turned into black, brown spots all over my face & on top I peeled off the skin unknowingly which turned into red, pink and looks horrible. Please suggest how can I get the normal skin back?

You really should be careful about what you do to your face in the future. Whenever you are trying out some new beauty treatment, it is a good idea to try it on the skin of your arms or behind your knees. The first thing you should do is stop applying anything else to your face. You will need to treat your face with great tenderness in order to make the skin grow back and bring your face back to its original beauty. You should use ice cubes on your face. Wrap some ice cubes in a towel and hold these to the affected area. This will soothe the burns. You can also apply some honey on the burn marks. Keep the honey for at least half an hour before you wash it off. The gel of an Aloe Vera juice is very effective in reducing such marks. You should get the leaves of the Aloe Vera plant and slice them open. Scoop out the slippery gel from inside and apply this gently on your skin. You should leave this on for as long as possible. Ideally of course, you should leave it on overnight so that it can work well on your skin. Do this regularly. You can help the burn marks heal faster by consuming Aloe Vera juice every day. Drink a tablespoon of Aloe Vera juice every morning and evening on an empty stomach.
You can also use sandalwood paste on your burn marks. Mix some sandalwood powder with some rose water and apply on the burn marks. Allow this to dry before you wash it off. You can also apply Vitamin E oil on the burn marks. However, avoid massaging harshly since this could cause pain. Instead rub the oil gently onto your skin and leave it on. Lavender oil can also be used on the burn marks. All these applications can be put on at bedtime and allowed to work overnight. In addition to these applications, you should alter your diet to help your face recover. You should reduce eating processed or fired food. Instead you should eat a diet based predominantly on fruits and vegetables. This will help your skin recover and also glow with healthy. Papaya should be eaten every day. The white skin covering the flesh of the papaya can be used on your face. Similarly you can also use the skin on your face.
