Rest , condition: No more of the exfoliate for a week. Keep face moisturized with mild facial moisturizer -- many kinds at store. This and time will help heal the tissue. Be patient. Good Luck.

It is not normal: It shouldn’t be red or irritated unless you’ve used a strong peel. If concerned, see your PCP for consultation.
