Is It Normal for Your Skin to Feel Like Sandpaper on Your 4th Day After Fraxel Re:store?

UFGirl917
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? I've stayed home since fri but I have school later on today & work early tomorrow morning is it ok to wear liquid foundation (physicians formula. I did this for acne scarring.
