Protect your face: It is going to be red for a while. Protect your face from the sun using a hat and once the skin is back to normal do not forget to use suncream

If a large portion: of the face was blistered - I would have recommended medical evaluation. Sometimes applying aloe vera straight from the plant can help to expedite burn healing.
