Help! I have peeling skin!

Why am I peeling?

When the skin peels off, it is the cells of the stratum corneum that are gone. The reason ? The epidermis is thirsty, either because it is not hydrated enough (crocodile skin effect), or because it has been burned by a sunburn. In both cases, this lack of water disrupts cell renewal, which accelerates. Result:we peel.
