I used salicylic acid peel 30% and left it on for 10 min. Mainly did it around the cheeks and not the beard area. It was stinging a bit but not too uncomfortable. Now it is day 2 two and it appears like my skin burned or something. Using aloe vera and olay skin moisturizer with spf 15. What else can I do?
