I had Fraxel re:store fri it's now Monday. My skin is so dry & is flaking a little around my nose & mouth. There's tiny brown spots that make it look like there is dirt on my face. I'm not as swollen or as red as I was. Is this normal? How could you wear make up with your skin so rough? When should the roughness go away?
