I did a little google search and here are some of the answers I found, they sound very reasonable to me:

increased sensitivity, redness, dryness
large pores, lines (due to dryness...they go away), uneven skin tone
- Burning/tingling especially around eyes, when you apply a topical (other than pure oil)

- Shiny skin that's on the verge of being trasparent

- A tightness that doesn't go away an hour after cleansing, when your PH has normalized


Here are some things that help:
Baby diaper ointment containing cod liver oil + zinc oxide, Maalox, Zenbiotic moisture products, Arcona hydrating serum, Burt's Bees resQ balm, Aquaphor ointment, and emu oil. A gentle cleanser and no acids til it heals. Anything to seal in some moisture while it eventually peels off. Also, get a good cream that has collagen and elastin in it, this will help to replace the vital nutrients that help with the wrinkes and saggnig.

Hope this helps and try not to over do it next time. :-)
