SKIN PEELING!

My skin has been weirdly peeling these last few months for some reasons? I've tried so many things and it did nothing! First I was told my hyaluronic acid wasn't good so I changed it, then it was my sunscreen that was oil based when all my product are water based! After getting a water based sunscreen, my skin was still peeling when I applied my sunscreen! And it also makes my cushion foundation peel even if it's also water based! I also use a "sponge" to scrub the dry skin in my face! It never did that before this summer too? Please let me know what I'm doing wrong I don't get it๐Ÿฅน

Re: SKIN PEELING!

Hi @eloudes7842. Peeling skin is annoying. Definitely try to see your doctor and if possible, get a referral to a dermatologist. It could be a number of different things. 

In the meantime, try to avoid sponging or scrubbing the dry skin too frequently. Occasional exfoliating can be helpful, but too much can actually damage your skin barrier and the next layer will be just as peely as the last. 

Definitely keep the area moist to help with recovery. Iโ€™m surprised that you switched your hyaluronic acid. Despite the name, itโ€™s actually a very gentle ingredient. Its main purpose is to help draw more moisture into your skin. It gets along well with other ingredients, so itโ€™s often compounded together into the same product. What were you using before and what did you switch to? If theyโ€™re from Sephora, you can use # to tag them. 

Re: SKIN PEELING!

@eloudes7842  Have you been using any other products? I find if I use too many acids I peel. It also could be that youโ€™re using a ton of new products and maybe your skin isnโ€™t happy. If possible I would see a doctor to make sure it isnโ€™t anything else going on. Maybe also use basic skincare until you can get the peeling to stop. Last week I ended up having a lot of facial swelling and I had hives all over my face due to a virus and my face has been peeling since. It has such a rough texture. Iโ€™ve been only doing basic skincare and not applying much to it to make sure it can heal. It started feeling better today. I really hope you can figure out what is going on!! 

Re: SKIN PEELING!

Hi! I've been mostly just using the Sephora brand hyaluronic acid, my fresh deep hydration rose creme and the laneige sunscreen! I do have been using this products recently as they are pretty much new which could explain that my face isn't happy indeed! Thank you so much for your help!:) I'll just wait it out and if it doesn't get better I'll try to consult!
