48 yrs old, Working Long hospitality Hours, Looking for a Refresh

Today I had a modified Phenol peel. I have been preping my skin with hydroquinone cream for a month. I had local anesthetic and then the peel was put on my face with a small applicator. It stung a little on application and then it got progressively worse for an hour to the point I wanted to cry. I was thinking to my self what have I done. The pain has subsided to a painful type of burn @ six hours post procedure. I am feeling a little sorry for myself. I just hope it is all worth it.

All pain is gone, I can feel my face throb but it's not painful. I washed my face with cooled boiled water and white vinegar. My face has starred to peel under my eyes and at the corners of my mouth.

I am struggling to sleep. I feel my eyes may have been affected with the peel as they weep and are quite red. My face is becoming very tight and itchy.
