Appearance on the skin of the foci of redness and peeling may be due to various factors that are classified as external (overdried air, allergy to cosmetics, medicines or products) and internal (genetic predisposition, problems with the gastrointestinal tract, endocrine system). If redness and flaking of the facial skin disturbs you for more than a week, and this condition is accompanied by itching, a trip to the dermatologist is extremely necessary.
Improper care
The most common cause of peeling is dry skin caused by improper care: using an aggressive soap, improper cream, insufficient moisturizing. To eliminate the itching and flaking of the facial skin, you should first change the facial cleanser and the cream.
In summer, you need to protect the skin from UV rays, which can also cause peeling. In winter, the face requires intensive protection against frost and over-dried air.
It is worth noting that cosmetics containing lanolin and alcohol, it is better not to use, if there is redness and peeling of the skin of the face - these substances only exacerbate the situation.
Allergic reaction
Redness on the skin is often a reaction of the body to the allergen contained:
- in food;
- in cosmetics;
- in the air (dust, animal hair).
Redness and peeling of the face is also referred to as side effects of most drugs, especially antibacterial drugs.
Skin and internal diseases
If a person receives sufficient moisture, and an allergic reaction is ruled out, there is reason to suspect a skin disease.
