Dry Flaking Skin If you have dry skin that is flaking off, it could be a result of your skin having lost its uppermost layer of protective and oily skin. This will then flake off to show dry and sometimes even powdery skin beneath. The best thing you can do for this particular problem is to exfoliate your skin with oil based exfoliating scrub. This can be made at home with olive oil and sugar crystals mixed to a pasty consistency. It should then be rubbed on your skin in gentle circular motions till the sugar melts and then washed off with warm water. This will effectively hydrate and also provide required moisture to your skin and also prevent it from flaking off.
Another reason for flaking skin is sun burn, which will typically fry your top layer of skin and cause it to peel off after a couple of days. This is generally called a harsh tan. One of the best all time remedies for getting rid of a tan is to apply sour cream to it. This will help to soothe and will also help with the flaking of skin. The essence of the problem lies in dry skin. So you need to also see to it that you are following a proper routine of skin care to ensure that your skin does not suffer from unnecessary dryness in the future.
