Hello,
I am not able to see your picture but it has to be characterized if your burn is superficial or deep in nature. Superficial burns usually do not leave too much scarring but deep burns would. Apply aloe vera over the burnt area for the time being and let it heal without further application of any irritants. There are a lot of scar modifying therapies so don't be anxious as facial scars can be successfully managed in most cases.
