How can I soothe my skin after IPL?

dallasgirl513
I had IPL about 4 weeks ago. My olive asian skin reacted a lot to the treatment. All the dark spots seem to have flaked off, however, the area around my jawline feel tight and sensitive. Is this normal or should I be normal? How long will it take for this sensation to go away? I've been applying vaseline and avoiding sunlight as much as possible.
