what is the best treatment for a chemical peel burn on lower face and chin?

concerned carole
My 19 year old daughter with sensitive fair skin and moderate acne under the skin had a facial as she does monthly, but was waxed 1st and then had a stronger peel. Now it is red ... tight...extremely dry, rough skin that is visably burned. Peeling some with red new skin under. All prerty bad. Leaving for Africa in a few days. Needs help. I saw that cetaphil cream and 1% cortisone or (is hydrocortisone best) would be good. Also saw a sugestion of aquaphor.
