Suffering for vanity. Burnt my forehead this morning with the curling iron. My roommate can hear me scream from the living room. My first curling iron burn, I tried to remember what my mom told me to do to put on burns. Egg white. I called her just to make sure. After scolding me for being clumsy, she confirmed that egg white was best, no cold water (oops). Immediately put the egg white to prevent air bubbles and scarring. Funny, cause on the episode of Doc Martin I watched last night, when a cook accidentally stuck her hand in boiling oil, he asked for cellophane to wrap around the burn to prevent air bubbles. Both serve as a film to prevent air from entering, but egg white has the added benefit of scar prevention (couldn't find any scientific backing, but whatever my mom still knows everything).
