Almost every one of us has had this happen in our livesmoments when the skin on the face unpleasantly tightened and began to peel. Itching, redness, dry skin - all these troubles are almost impossible to disguise. It is difficult to carefully apply makeup to such skin - foundation literally rolls and "cracks" on the scales of peeling skin, giving the appearance an untidy, unkempt look. Moreover, oily skin can also peel and cause its owner a lot of trouble. There are many ways to combat this scourge, but first let's try to figure out: where does peeling skin on the face come from and how to prevent it?

Causes of skin peeling

All causes of peeling skin can be attributed to twotypes - external and internal. Let's try to consider the reasons why our skin so often peels, itches and becomes quite painful. External reasons External reasons are those factors that affect our body "from the outside". For example, direct sunlight or severe frost in winter can easily lead to dryness and peeling of the skin, causing redness. Do not forget to use special cosmetic skin care products to reduce the negative effects of climatic factors to a minimum. And, by the way, about cosmetics. Quite often, women cause serious harm to the health of their skin simply by not knowing how to use decorative cosmetics correctly. Some do not follow the simplest hygiene requirements and do not cleanse the skin, while others use expired products or products that are not suitable for their skin type. Sometimes it is enough to change the line of skin care products so that flaky skin acquires a healthy, well-groomed appearance. To prevent peeling of the skin on the face due to improper use of cosmetics, let's remember the basic principles of facial skin care:

• First of all, do not forget to clean regularlyskin from cosmetics and dust particles, do it at any time of the year, in winter and in summer. Do you remember how in childhood we were told that cleanliness is a guarantee of health? So why not apply this rule to our skin?
• If you are accustomed to wash with the usualsoap, then try changing it to a special cleansing foam - so your skin will shrink less and peel off. This advice is especially relevant for those with skin that is dry and sensitive by nature. Modern foam for washing perfectly care for the skin of the face - moisturize and nourish it, making the skin smooth and silky.
• After washing, do not wipe your face with a hard towel - so you can hurt sensitive skin. Use a soft cloth or napkin, do not rub your face - just lightly pat it.
• For deeper cleansing, use lotions and tonics, they will help remove dirt from the deepest pores in your skin.
• No matter how tired you are, never go to bed with cosmetics on your face. Daily cleansing of the face should be an obligatory ritual of your life.
• Do not use cosmetic products containing alcohol - they dry your skin, causing itching and flaking. Buy natural cosmetics from proven manufacturers.

Don't forget that we live in an eratechnical progress, where poor ecology is the eternal companion of our time. Polluted air, bad water, exposure to ultraviolet rays in summer and severe frosts in winter - all these factors have a very negative effect on our health in general, and peeling facial skin is proof of this. And if not everyone has the opportunity to move to a village and breathe clean air, then everyone can provide themselves with high-quality water. What to do if the skin on your face peels? Wash with clean, filtered water. Believe me, you will feel the difference pretty soon: the condition of your skin will improve dramatically. Internal causes It is much more difficult to eliminate another cause - the internal one, because here all the skin problems are directly related to the state of your body. These can be diseases, hormonal imbalances, or simply a lack of vitamins. Here, no matter how hard you try to tidy up your face with the help of cosmetics, it is difficult to achieve a serious effect: itching and peeling will appear again and again. In this case, take your health more seriously and start fighting the problem "from the inside". If peeling skin is caused by a simple lack of vitamins in the body (this problem is especially acute in winter), then why not replenish them naturally? Just eat the right foods:

• Vitamin A - egg yolk, liver, butter, apricots, carrots, pumpkin, parsley, spinach.
• Vitamin B - fresh fish, dairy products, black grain bread, brown rice, green apples, cabbage, melon.
• Vitamin E - nuts, seeds, broccoli, cucumbers, potatoes, radish.
• Vitamin F - vegetable oils, fish, corn, black currant, cereals.

By regularly consuming all these products inin sufficient quantities, you will be able to quickly restore the normal condition of the skin - redness, itching and peeling will be a thing of the past. Special vitamin complexes can also replenish the supply of nutrients; they can be found in any pharmacy. In order to choose the most suitable option for you, consult your doctor. Another internal cause of peeling skin can be a lack of fluid in the body. It is not surprising that the face peels and cracks if your body does not have enough moisture for the normal functioning of the body. Try to avoid dehydration and drink at least one and a half to two liters of liquid per day (avoid sweet and highly carbonated drinks - these are serious enemies of the health of your skin).
