LACUNA COIL frontwoman Cristina Scabbia says that she accidentally burned her face with hot cooking oil in her kitchen on Thursday.
The 50-year-old singer, who lives in Milan, Italy, shared a video detailing the experience. She said in part (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET):
“Basically, yesterday I was cooking some food, and I was using a small pan to fry some chips. And what happened is that I used something to grab some chips and put them somewhere else. And the utensil that I was using basically slipped off my fingers, moving the pan. I did a movement like this and created a sort of a wave that went straight in my face. So it was pretty horrible, because there was a lot of… I got scared for a second, because, of course, the pain, the burning. I didn’t really know what the situation [was], because all you feel when you burn yourself is just the burn. So you don’t know what’s going on. It’s red for a second, then it swells, then it goes down. And I didn’t know how the situation was, so I literally put my face underneath cold water — very cold water — and tried to wash the oil away. So I grabbed some soap very quickly without, of course, fractioning it too much. And I washed my face. And then I put it under water. And then I cut a few leaves from my aloe vera [plant] and I put them on the skin because aloe vera is amazing for burns.
