Help, I used a bad product after a peel. Did I damage my skin?

February 17, 2019
Asked By:RSMember8540 in Seattle, WA

I wasn’t thinking and used a spray sunscreen (which contains alcohol) on day 4 post peel. It stung really bad and now my face is super red and feels like it’s constantly burning. What is the potential risk with this? Did I damage my new baby skin? If so, how bad? What recommendations do you have to help the situation?
