The skin on my face keeps flaking and peeling is it the lotion im using or is it the soap or hot water how do i treat this?

See a dermatologist: You have not named your soap or lotion. Use a skin cleanser with a ph of 7 or less: dove is easy to find. Use a cream with ceramides such as eucerin, cerave, cetaphil.
