I think it's meant to be cold water for as long as you possibly can I think. At least 30 mins? I did this on my arm once and it blistered and scared but I didn't hold cold water on it so that's probably why. The scar went away though, just lasted a few months.

Don't use ice straight on it, wrap it in a towel or it'll be too cold.

Agree about the cold water for as long as you can, just keep dabbing/holding wet cloth to face.
Also, I keep a small aloe vera plant in the kitchen for such accidents - it takes the pain away after the water, and prevents scarring.
