When cooking, it is easy for oil to splatter, and these oil splatters can easily land on our skin, causing burns. I used to struggle with this problem until I found some methods to deal with oil splatters on the skin while cooking. Below are some tips I'd like to share with everyone.
Soaking in Cold Water
The emergency treatment for burns caused by oil splatters is to soak the burned area in clean cold water. The earlier you soak the burned area with cold water, the better the effect. The lower the water temperature, the better the effect in reducing skin damage.
Applying Burn Cream
If your skin is burned by oil splatters while cooking, you can apply a little burn cream to the affected area to avoid contact with water. Generally, the burn will noticeably improve in about three days. If the burn is more severe, it may take some time to recover. Remember to apply the burn cream within three days. Also, keep the affected area dry after treatment, as this will not have a significant impact.
Using Aloe Vera Gel
If you have fresh aloe vera, you can apply its juice to the burned area several times a day, and the effect is also good. If blisters form from the burn caused by oil splatters while cooking, it is best not to break them. Instead, have a doctor check and prescribe some anti-inflammatory drugs. Additionally, it is best not to break blisters if they form.
Applying Safflower Oil
If your skin is burned by oil splatters while cooking and no blisters have formed, immediately rinse the affected area with a large amount of cold water for half an hour. The water quality requirement is not high, tap water is also acceptable. Then, gently massage the area with safflower oil. This method helps speed up the recovery from burns.
Quick Tip
After being burned by oil splatters, if there are open wounds, avoid contact with water until they have healed. If necessary, you can wrap the wounds and cover them with plastic wrap before coming into contact with water. Afterward, remove the dressings and change the dressing once.
