I had done an at home peel on Friday and it is now...

I had done an at home peel on Friday and it is now tuesday I have picked off most of my peeling skin. I no it says not to pick, but I think I have an OCD as I can never stop picking in general. Anyway it is now Tuesday and after peeling some of my skin off, it looks like a sore and burnt. They are really sore and itchy can anyone tell me if I have ruined my face :( I used be pretty until I did this, I only did it because I was trying to look better be flawless.. :( please help, I'm scarred.

Great review?

I'm so sorry to hear you are scarred. It can definitely be hard to leave the skin alone, and even more so if you are a picker in general. :-/

Here are some reviews where people talked about picking after their peels. You could leave comments for them to see how things came out:

Peeling Skin After Salicylic Acid Peel

Vi Peel - do not peel skin! i was told subsequent peels will hurt more bc skin is healthier. may take 10-14 days

Here is a Q&A that discusses this as well:
