Moisturizer: Find a good moisturizer one that says oil free and non- comdeogenic on the label .

Accepted Answer

Probably: This probably is a case of dry skin.  This might be caused by friction from exercise (especially runners) soaps, hot showers, hot baths - basically anything that can strip away the oils that keep our skin from drying and peeling.  If it doesn't improve with a skin moisturizer, it is best to see your Dr to determine why.
