What Causes Skin to Peel and When Should You Be Concerned

Skin peeling can occur when the skin becomes very dry, irritated or exposed to factors that weaken its protective barrier. Sunburn, harsh skincare products, allergic reactions, eczema and certain skin conditions can also cause peeling. Avoiding aggressive scrubbing, using a gentle cleanser, moisturising regularly and protecting the skin from the sun can help in many cases. However, persistent or widespread peeling may need professional evaluation to identify the underlying cause.
