Is red splotchy skin after micro peel normal and how long to avoid sun if vacationing in May?

I recently got clear and brilliant March 12th and followed up with a hydra facial where she added on a micro peel two days ago. Immediately after my face was very red and everything she put on stung, now I have red splotchy dry patches and my skin looks worse than before procedure. I have been using vanicream face wash and lotion, will this go away? I also have a tropical vacation May 3rd, was this peel too soon /will my skin be allowed to have any sun exposure?
