See below: This could be several things: 1) moisturize your face daily. 2) make sure you are getting proper nutrition. Deficiency in iron, vitamin c, zinc, and magnesium can do this. 3) if the above aren't the cause, you may need a thorough evaluation by your doctor, including that for connective tissue disorders.
