Why is my skin so dry and flakey? Diet?!


Question:

Why is my skin so dry and flakey? Diet?

For the last few weeks my skin has been horribly dry. Even my hands are peeling. I had some sunburn on my stomach and chest, so I can understand that, but my hands, feet, legs are all dry and flakey/peeling. I keep all kinds of lotion on, at least 2 times a day on the legs/feet/body, and 4-5 times a day on my hands.

Is there by chance a vitamin or mineral my system is lacking? Any other thoughts?


Answers:

yes you should take vitamins they do help also drink lots of water(you may be dehydrated)eat proteins such as meat steak etc but balance it with vegtables and if its on your face use olay mosturizing wash or something with lots of moisture and natural oils and stay away from the bar soaps they dry skin out and make them worse than they are also when you go out use a moisterizing sunblock so its less likley that you'll peel or get sunburn
