Understanding the causes of facial peeling
If you have peeling facial skin, it may be due to several factors...
Dehydration
An insufficiently hydrated skin can begin to dry and peel. This can be caused by a lack of internal hydration (insufficient water in the body) or external (absence of suitable moisturizing cream).
Sun exposure
In summer, sunburns are a common cause of peeling. When one is exposed for too long without protection, the skin burns and begins to peel during the regeneration phase.
The cold and the wind
The cold of winter and windy climates can attack the skin and cause intense dryness, which promotes scaling.
A skin allergy
An allergy to a substance that you apply to the skin, contained in a cosmetic product or a perfume, is sometimes the cause. But in this case, the peeling is accompanied by a strong itching.
Inadequate care
The use of overly aggressive products, such as cleaners containing alcohol or too frequent scrubs, can damage the skin barrier and cause irritated skin.
Skin conditions
Certain diseases such as eczema, psoriasis, or seborrheic dermatitis can cause persistent scaling.
Dermatological treatments
Treatments based on retinoids, exfoliating acids, or certain medications can lead to temporary skin peeling.
The importance of a tailored skincare routine
The skincare routine plays a fundamental role in combating peeling skin. Choose gentle and effective products that restore the skin barrier.
Cleanse with a gentle purifying gel
Choose a gentle cleanser, free of soap and alcohol, that respects your skin's pH. Prefer products enriched with moisturizing agents such as hydrolyzed wheat protein or hyaluronic acid.
The purifying gel Grangettes Switzerland contains ingredients derived from coconut, such as disodium cocoyl glutamate and disodium cocoamphodiacetate: they act as cleansers to remove impurities and the excess sebum, leaving your skin perfectly clean and radiant. Wheat protein, on the other hand, provides optimal hydration and preserves the softness of your skin.

Moisturize with a cream suitable for your skin type
Use a rich moisturizer with hyaluronic acid, squalane, or allantoin, for long-lasting hydration. Apply it morning and evening on your clean face, gently massaging to help the cream penetrate.
The anti-aging cream Grangettes combines a powerful blend of highly effective active ingredients that target both wrinkles and provide a comprehensive solution to restore the skin. It is therefore a significant ally if you have peeling facial skin!

Exfoliate in moderation
If your skin is peeling, it is tempting to want to remove dead skin with a scrub. However, it is better to opt for a gentle exfoliant rather than a coarse scrub to avoid worsening the irritation.
The Grangettes purifying gel contains papain (papaya): it gently exfoliates your face to remove dead skin without harming your epidermis. To enjoy a gentle exfoliation and reveal your radiant skin, this is the key!

Adopt good lifestyle habits
Drink enough water
It's no surprise, internal hydration is just as important as external hydration. If you have peeling facial skin, in winter as well as in summer, you need to drink enough: make sure to consume at least 1.5 liters of water per day.
Adopt a balanced diet
Prioritize foods rich in essential fatty acids (omega-3 and 6), vitamins A, C, and E, as they promote skin health.
Reduce irritant factors
Avoid overly hot showers, excessive heating, and products containing irritating agents such as sulfates or alcohol.
Grandmother's remedies for peeling facial skin
A honey and olive oil mask
This mask hydrates and nourishes the skin deeply. To enjoy the benefits of these ingredients, mix 1 tablespoon of honey with 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
Apply to the face and leave on for 15 to 20 minutes before rinsing with lukewarm water.
A compress of lukewarm milk
Milk soothes, nourishes, and helps regenerate the skin thanks to lactic acid. Soak a cotton ball or a clean cloth in warm milk, then apply it to the peeling areas for 10 minutes.
Aloe vera gel
Aloe vera soothes, heals, and deeply hydrates. Apply pure aloe vera gel directly to your skin and leave it on for 15 minutes before rinsing.
A banana and yogurt mask
The banana nourishes and the yogurt gently exfoliates. Mash half a ripe banana and mix it with 1 tablespoon of plain yogurt. Apply to the face for 15 minutes and then rinse with lukewarm water.
Coconut oil or shea butter
Ultra-nourishing, these ingredients repair and protect the skin deeply. Apply a small amount to dry areas before sleeping.
When to consult a dermatologist?
If the scaling persists despite appropriate care, or if it is accompanied by redness, pain, or intense itching, it is recommended to consult a dermatologist. Some skin conditions require specific treatments, including creams based on cortisone, antifungals...
