My skin has always been dry, but the peeling is worse in the last few months....... really it's enormous flakes so i don't know if i's exactly what you all are talking about. I mix my favorite lotion with vaseline. 1/2 and 1/2. It's greasy, but it keeps things under control for a day or two at a time. Showers are hard and my husband stands by because of my dizziness, so i only take one or sometimes two a week, i reapply the above ointment when i change clothes daily.
