Facial peeling.

I am a 24 year old male and my face peels. I do not know what causes this. I clean and moisturize my face and it still peels. What can I do to make it stop?

Hi,
You should use a mild face wash for your skin. Immediately use a moisturise after washing your face. Avoid use of astringents as it tends to dry the skin further. Use a glycerin based cream at night before sleeping. Also drink plenty of water so that your body is well hydrated. If the problem still persists consult a dermatologist/ skin specialist.

Hi.
You may have dry skin as the cause of peeling.
Sometimes the weather affects the skin.  It tends to be dry during cold weather.
What type of facial cleanser are you using?
Harsh chemicals in some facial cleansers can cause dryness and irritation.
It would be best to consult a dermatologist.
Good luck.
