Burns can leave ugly scars that are difficult to fade which can often be embarrassing.

Try the following home remedies to speed recovery & lighten burn marks -

  • Honey will help to speed the recovery process. Apply it on the skin with burns after you have cleaned the wound and made it cold.
  • Apply a thin layer of tooth paste (no gel) on the skin which is burnt, leave it overnight and wash in the morning. This will have a soothing effect on the skin, stop the burning pain and heal the wound without scaring.
  • Apply aloe vera gel along with vitamin E gel on the burnt skin for faster recovery.
  • Blanch green tea soak it in a cotton cloth and apply on the scar region to help heal faster.
  • Dip a cotton ball in essential oil of lavender and apply over the scar region twice daily.
  • If the skin is scarred massage tea tree oil or olive oil on it regularly to lighten it.
