Did I mess up my peeling by using a wash cloth to wash my face after a VI Peel Precision Plus?

I’m 4 days post peel and am peeling in small sheets and flakes. Even though I followed the directions and am peeling, it occurred to me that using a wash cloth to wash my face, as I normally do and I like the thin NOT fluffy thick soft cloths, did I basically prematurely rub my skin off? I stopped using it at my last face washing. I don’t see any additional dark spots, only what was there before. But is a wash cloth a problem?

I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist for after care. I recommend Silagen + Bioshield to promote healing. PDT therapy can calm inflammation. Sun protection is essential. Redness can be improved with lasers and microneedling/prp. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

As good as these treatments are for your skin, you need to give it time to heal as well. I would recommend 2 weeks at the very least, ideally 3-4 week range before applying a chemical peel. Especially if you're using a medical-grade peel like ViPeel that's a little more aggressive.
