4 days post Halo Laser having extremely dry cracking skin. What can I do?

May 6, 2018
Asked By:smileyandinsecure in British Columbia, BC

Hello! I had a Halo treatment done on Friday (May 4th) and it is now May 6th and the skin around my mouth and nose is so dry it feels like I have Elmer’s glue all over my face. It is so tight I have difficulty opening my mouth without pain. The skin is starting to wrinkle from all the dryness. I’ve been applying non stop moisturizer, doing the vinegar mask, and it is becoming painful. I knew there would be dryness but my skin feels like it’s ready to splinter. Is this normal. What do I do
