Why does my skin feels so sticky and tight after a pink peel?

August 19, 2014
Asked By:pinkpeel in Philippines, PH

my sweat was trapped in my skin because of this i manually peeled my skin,didnt hurt but im afraid of what might turn out. I noticed that some part of my skin which i peeled feels so tight especially after shower, and it was sticky just like an adhesive tape. i tried applying cetaphil lotion aftr bath,it worked well with the skin which doesnt peel yet but it made my peeled skin more sticky.
