Skin on the face is scaly, if:
- only on the face the skin is flaky,
- after washing you feel that the face is pulled tight,
- the skin is irritated after a change of climate or because of a new cream.
The cause of peeling will be improper skin care. And, most likely your skin is hypersensitive and dehydrated. The type of face can be anything. Scaly and oily, dry and combination skin. The first thing to do is to cleanse the face of the scales of the keratinized skin, further actions will not make sense, if this is not done.
After cleansing, make a mask, mix 1 tablespoon of cucumber juice, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of potato starch, 1 tablespoon of carrot juice. Apply the mixture for 15 minutes on the face, then wash it off with warm water and apply a moisturizing cream. The result will be visible immediately. The cream should be only moisturizing. After all, dehydrated skin lacks moisture.
If:
- the skin is flaky on the body and on the face,
- wash more than 2 times a day, use active means,
- Take a hot bath every day.
Personal hygiene must be respected, but with this you can overdo it. If you constantly use products with antibacterial components, thereby you deprive the skin of a natural protective barrier. The same happens if you take regular hot baths. The skin begins to dry. Hence, irritation and peeling occur. Revise your soap and shower gels. It is necessary to take a gentle remedy with a moisturizing, active effect. Warm shower take no more than 2 times a day. And after each such water treatment, apply moisturizing milk to the skin.
If you can not live without a bath, then allow yourself such pleasure not more than 2 times a week. Water should not be hot. It would be nice to add a gentle bath oil. It will soften the skin and restore the protective barrier. The skin should not be rubbed with a towel in any case, just need to get a little wet.
The simplest natural skin care product is olive oil. It has a special structure and it is instantly absorbed by the skin and perfectly absorbed. The recipe is quite simple, after the shower or bath, apply a thin layer of oil to the skin. After 10 or 15 minutes, pat dry the rest of the oil with a towel or napkin.
If the skin of the face is peeling:
- skin peeling is accompanied by severe itching,
- the skin is flaky and inflamed,
- this problem is not solved for more than three weeks.
Here you need to think. Peeling can be associated with many problems, including seborrhea, eczema, psoriasis. And if you answered positively even on 1 of 3 questions, you should always consult a dermatologist. Do not prescribe yourself cream and ointments containing hormones. It is worth to give up creams and ointments with aromatic additives.

Therapeutic actions to eliminate and alleviate symptoms
As it is known skin peeling can be facilitated by different factors, but treatment requires only moisturizing.
Let's renounce the coarse soap. Many varieties of soap are very hard for dry skin. In many cases, you can get rid of the peeling of the skin forever, if we switch to soft soaps with high fat content. It is often recommended to use soap "Dove", it less dry the skin. Some skin cleansers well moisturize the skin and all thanks to the fact that they contain olive oil. Some people need to refrain from lotions with lanolin, which cause allergy in many people.
Do not rub your skin
If you have a skin sensitivity after the bath, you need to dry the skin well without rubbing it, but, only with a towel so that there is no skin irritation. If the water from the surface evaporates, the skin becomes drier, in this case the water will disappear from the surface of the skin and from the depth of it.
Use emollients and moisturizers. When the skin becomes dry, you need to lubricate it with some kind of moisturizer. There is a large selection of such remedies, many made on a fat basis. This creates a waterproof layer between the skin and the air, which prevents the loss of moisture in the skin. Vaseline is a classic example of fatty grease. In pharmacies, on a free sale, there are various means for eliminating peeling and softening of the skin. If the skin condition worsens, ask the doctor to prescribe strong lotions for you.
Take care of the preservation of moisture in the skin. In addition to the use of moisturizers, with flaky, dry skin, you need to take additional measures, so that the funds are even better penetrated into the skin.
In the absence of infection and with very dry skin on your hands, you can use a one-percent cream with hydrocortisone. The cream is applied to the skin before going to sleep, and then vinyl or plastic gloves are put on hands, which can be bought at any pharmacy.
What to do with the skin of the face. If you have peeling on the face near the edge of the hair, nose, eyebrows, you should use 0.5% cream with hydrocortisone. This cream should be applied no more than 1 time per day for 1 or 2 weeks.
