peeling skin
Dermis sloughing off
Peeling skin is skin that sheds in visible flakes or sheets, typically after sunburn, illness, or as part of natural renewal.
The phrase describes both the condition and the process: My shoulders are peeling after that day at the beach.
Peeling skin can also result from certain skin conditions, allergic reactions, or chemical treatments like facial peels.
