Peeling skin on the feet is typically a sign of dry skin. This is common in people who do not regularly moisturize their feet and in people who frequently use open-toe footwear, like flip-flops.
Skin peeling occurs when the most outer layers of the skin start to shed due to skin breakdown. This can be triggered by mild situations, like having dry skin or a sun burn.
Chapped lips can occur for several reasons, like a vitamin deficiency, medication use, dehydration, sunburns or climate changes.
Dry skin is usually caused by prolonged exposure to very cold or very hot environments, or by very hot and long showers or baths.
