Can I get a facial after a chemical peeling?

sofiah95Apr 26, 2016
So I got my third chemical peeling (light one) last Tuesday. I believe it may have helped to lessen my acne but i have new acne coming out and it looks like cysts,I have gotten 3 until now and I am losing hope. the ceremony is in two weeks and for reason my face has red pimples that not only hurt but they also look so bad. I was wondering if I could get a facial and stop with the chemical peelings asap. It is been 5 days already so is it okay if i can get a facial w extractions?
