My new skin 6 days post peel is VERY tight and flaky, my facial movements are restricted.

Question

I am on day 6 post the perfect derma peel. I peeled on day 3 and 4 and a little on day 5 my new skin is very tight and dry. the skin around my eyes is also VERY wrinkly and "old" looking. My son this morning took one look at me and says I have aged about 10 years. How long will this last? I have been moisturizing multiple times a day and I have been using my eye cream.
