Nadz, the first rule of getting any peel done is never to pick at the peeling skin.. or step-out without a sunblock. The cells are regenerating and this causes flakiness.. when u pick at it the skin is raw and prone to infections and damage.
Now that u already have picked at it.. keep u're face free from all products with alcohol/menthol.. just use sunblock.. and if the peeled area is very raw and red use a topical ointment "bactroban"
