Any problem with your facial face can be frustrating and embarrassing. Despite this, it is not an uncommon thing. There are many people experiencing scaling, flaking, or peeling skin on their face, which is triggered by variety of factors.

A mild peeling skin on the face only causes whitish flakes and peeled skin on certain areas of the face, such as around the lips and mouth, on the nose, on the forehead, and on both cheeks. More severe effects, however, may cause facial skin to be tight, that it is hard to move the face.
