A member asked:

What can cause my face to dry out and flake?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Many things: You may have dry skin. You also may be using products on your face which have a drying effect. You may not be using appropriate moisturizers. The best way to get an answer is to see a good dermatologist. He/she can diagnose the issue and recommend proper treatment.
