28 year old beauty set ablaze by jealous female love rival forced to wear mask to hide her disfigured face

Russia: A 28 year-old beauty was left wearing a protective mask after being set ablaze by a rival jealous of her pretty face.

Dana Vulin suffered third-degree burns over two thirds of her body after vicious Natalia Dimitrovska doused her in methylated spirits and set her on fire at her home.

She said: "I respect the [the mask] and appreciate it. And I also hate its guts.

"Without I couldn't be where I am at now but essentially I've been faceless and it makes you feel like a nothing and a no one," she told Channel Seven's Sunday Night show. 

But on Sunday brave Dana will finally take off the mask after wearing it for more than TWO YEARS.

Dana has undergone agonising reconstructive surgery and more than 30 procedures, since Dimitrovska burnt her.

She has worn the special compression mask to help heal the terrible burns to her face.
