Steps

Method 1 of 3: How to care for flaky skin

1. 1 Submerge the peeling part of your body in water. There are many ways to do this. For example, if flaking occurs all over your skin or on your back, take a bath. If your hands are peeling, dip them in a bowl of warm water. Allocate 20 minutes each day for water treatments until you see improvement.
   • For best results, try adding two cups of baking soda to the water. This will help reduce redness and irritation and prevent infection.
   • If your skin is flaky from sunburn, do not shower or expose your skin to hot water, as the pressure and temperature of the water can cause pain.
2. 2 Drink about 10 glasses of water daily. Good skin care includes proper drinking regime. Drink at least eight glasses of water every day. To get rid of flaking, try to drink more.
3. 3 Protect your skin from sun damage. Exposure to sunlight leads to premature aging of the skin and exacerbates the problem of flaking. Apply sunscreen to all exposed skin if you plan on sun exposure. Pay special attention to flaky skin. Before going outside, try to cover such areas as much as possible with clothes or a hat.
   • Protect your skin from sun damage, whether it flakes due to dryness or sunburn.
4. 4 Do not peel flaky skin. The skin under the flaky layer is very delicate and thin, you risk damaging it, which is fraught with pain and infection. Wait for the dry skin flakes to fall off on their own.
5. 5 See your doctor. If you are in doubt about the cause of peeling skin or the problem is serious enough, seek medical attention. Peeling skin can be a symptom of certain conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, and ichthyosis. If you cannot solve the problem on your own, contact your doctor who will make the correct diagnosis and prescribe treatment.

   • Also, if flaking occurs over large areas of your skin, see your doctor.
