Can I go out in public after glycolic acid peel?

I've done my research on peels, but I want to know, using a 40% glycolic peel properly, will my face look irritated that its embarrassing to go out in public the very next day? even if I moisturize well. I'm a student and always have to be around people in school. I just want to know if my face will attract attention and make me self conscious around people immediately after I do it the next day.
