First let me preface this with - I KNOW BETTER THAN TO PICK!!! I got a VI Peel 4 days ago. On day 3 after a shower, the skin around my nose, left cheek and chin was all soft and mostly detached, so I started rolling the skin off. A few hours later the skin started to burn pretty badly in the areas I peeled. Today all of that skin is extremely tight and wrinkly particularly on my cheek. Also, my chin is peeling again very lightly as you can see in the first picture. Thank you.
