If your skin is peeling from the acne than its OKAY!!!! Your skin is just regenerating, happens sometimes.
Also your face can be somewhat dry, try a Oil and Alcohol FREE moisterizer!

Yes, it is bad for your acne, but there's nothing you can do about it now, unfortunately. Apply some aloe vera gel (or aloe vera directly from a plant, if you have it) and moisturize with a oil-free or light moisturizer. Don't apply any harsh acne treaments (like salicylic acid or benzoil peroxide) until your skin gets better. Don't slather on heavy oils, either, because they can actually keep your skin from breathing and healing well (along the same lines discounting the old wives' tale about butter on burns).
It may seem like the way the sun has dried out your skin has "helped" your acne at first, but it really hasn't. The sun damages your skin, and a peeling burn is an actual burn, like you could get from an oven or hot water. And even if the drying-out effect takes away some of the oil from your skin, it can suffer a bounce-back effect when your skin starts to produce oil in reaction to that.
I hope your skin heals well, and be sure to take care the next time you're in the sun! Use moisturizer with a sunscreen every day, and think about using mineral makeup with titanium dioxide (a really effective sunscreen) like Monave mineral makeup.

I recently had a persistent skin infection that made my skin peel. It went away after two days of antibiotics.

I think you need to get to a dermatologist fast. I don't think your skin is suppose to be peeling.
