Hi lybrate user Yes your skin will recover as it was just a minor 1 degree burn. It will take some time to heal. Apply coconut oil daily and you will be fine soon. Takecare

getting back of normal texture of skin will depend on the depth of the burn. getting back normal colour thorghout the area depends on the extent of burn. usually your skin colour return over a period of time. time is the only healer and you have to wait and watch. Good luck
