Aloe vera works better than any product "made from" it.
Buy a plant and take care of it - when you need it, it'll take care of you. I've had blistered burns that healed within a few days with steady, liberal applications.
If the climate won't cooperate, keep it indoors. Looks like you're okay there, though.
Make sure you get the right kind of aloe - Aloe barbadensis
Other than that, the most important thing (and you did it) is to run cold water over it immediately to prevent further skin damage. I'm going to disagree with Spiffgirl's advice - The faster you can keep it exposed to air (without hurting) the quicker it'll heal. The blister needs to dry before it can be replaced with healthy skin from below. However, depending on the area it covers, remember - keeping infection away is your primary concern, so keep it covered if the blister breaks or seems like it will.
