How to treat skin after a Glycolic peel skin burn? (Photo)

Maya257Feb 17, 2019
I am a beauty therapist trained in Murad skincare. I performed a Murad rapid exfoliator maximum strength (glycolic peel) on myself and within 3 minutes my cheeks became red and burnt. The rest of my face was fine. I removed it using cold gauzes. My skin was fine with the Regular Strength and I have preformed the Max peel on myself before. I am using ice, aloe Vera and savlon on the burnt areas. How long will it take to heal?
