Burns are an all-too-common injury, ranging from minor mishaps in the kitchen to sunburns and more serious accidents. Zax's Original Burn Cream is particularly effective for minor burns such as those caused by kitchen oven mishaps, electrical hair tools, and sunburns. While burns can be painful and distressing, proper care can significantly reduce painful burns and promote faster healing. With Zax’s Original Burn Cream and a few tried-and-true tips, you can manage burns effectively and comfortably.
Understanding Burns
Burns are classified by their severity:
- First-degree burns: Affect only the outer layer of skin, causing redness and mild pain (e.g., sunburn).
- Second-degree burns: Damage deeper layers, leading to blisters, swelling, and intense pain.
- Third-degree burns: Extend through all layers of the skin and require professional medical attention.
While first- and second-degree burns can often be treated at home, it’s crucial to take swift and appropriate action to reduce pain and healing of burns fast.
First Steps After a Burn
1. Cool It Down
The first priority is to stop the burning process and cool the affected area.
- What to Do: Run cool (not cold) water over the burn for 10–15 minutes. This helps reduce burn pain by lowering the skin's temperature and preventing further damage.
- Avoid Ice: Never use ice or very cold water, as they can irritate the skin and slow healing.
2. Protect the Burn
After cooling, gently pat the area dry and cover it with a clean, non-stick bandage or cloth to prevent contamination.
3. Skip the Myths
Home remedies like butter or oil can trap heat and worsen the burn. Stick to proven remedies for faster healing.
Natural Remedies to Heal Burns Fast
1. Aloe Vera for Soothing Relief
Aloe vera is a classic remedy for burns due to its cooling and moisturizing properties. It forms a protective layer over the skin, reducing inflammation and aiding the healing process.
- Why It’s Essential: Aloe vera is an active ingredient in Zax’s Original Burn Cream, working to provide immediate relief and speed up recovery.
2. Calendula to Promote Skin Renewal
Calendula, a natural anti-inflammatory, helps reduce swelling and redness while encouraging skin regeneration. It’s a gentle and effective ingredient for burns, even on sensitive skin.
3. Colloidal Oatmeal to Calm Irritation
Colloidal oatmeal is a powerful yet gentle ingredient that soothes skin irritation and hydrates dry, damaged areas.
- A Perfect Combination: These natural ingredients come together in Zax’s Original Burn Cream to provide comprehensive care.

Steps for Faster Burn Recovery
1. Hydrate the Skin
Burned skin loses moisture quickly, which can lead to dryness and cracking. Applying a moisturizing cream like Zax’s Original Burn Cream keeps the skin hydrated and promotes faster healing.
2. Avoid Picking Blisters
Blisters act as natural barriers, protecting the underlying skin from infection. Let them heal naturally and avoid popping them.
3. Protect from the Sun
Burned skin is especially sensitive to UV rays. Keep the area covered or apply a natural sunscreen to avoid further irritation.
4. Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water to support your body’s healing process. Hydrated skin heals faster and maintains elasticity, reducing the risk of scarring.
Tips for Preventing Burns
While accidents happen, you can take simple precautions to reduce the risk of burns:
- Use oven mitts and potholders when handling hot items.
- Turn pot handles inward on the stove to avoid accidental spills.
- Wear sunscreen daily, even on cloudy days, to prevent sunburn.
- Wear protective hand gear when using hot hair tools to prevent burns on the hand.
- Keep a fire extinguisher in your kitchen and know how to use it.
Preparation is the first step in keeping your family safe.
