How to Spot Skin Peeling

When your skin becomes dehydrated, it begins to dry out and eventually peel (although this can also happen after too much sun exposure). Dry and peeling skin can become rather aggravating and even itchy. If you have peeling skin on your body you should attempt to treat the area once you notice the issue. This gives you the best opportunity to correct the peeling skin and rehydrate your skin.

Things You'll Need

• Skin lotion

Instructions

1. Look for any areas of your skin that have lost color, which happens when your skin begins to dry out and peel.

2. Inspect any area of your body that itches. If your elbow or leg constantly itches, check the area to see if you find any peeling skin.

3. Take a shower and exfoliate the skin with either a rough skin sponge or other cleaning device. This helps remove the peeling and old dead skin from your body.

4. Apply moisturizing lotion to your body, especially to the area with the peeling skin. This helps rehydrate the skin. Avoid lotion with oil in it if your skin is naturally oily.

5. Drink plenty of water. Drinking water helps rehydrate your body and add moisture to your skin.
