my skin just all of a sudden got really dry
and its like peeling
its gross like crusty looking
ive used moisturizer and it works for about 20 minutes and then i have to re apply it.

You should exfoiliate at least once a week!!!! [ _wishes's advice column | Ask _wishes A Question ]

like, i have a skin condition, psoriasis, and it sounds a little like that? not sure though.
but i think you should go to the doctor for sure, even if it might just be that you need more moisture (:

aha okay, first wash your face with a cleansing face wash, anything almost. make sure its not drying, it should be for dry skin. then when you wash your face get a mild exfoliator so that it scrubs off all the dead skin cells, dont put it near your eyes because the skin there is sensitive and thin. use the exfoliator only like once or twice a week, unless your skin is really dry, then i guess you could use it a few more times :P then put on a 24 hour moisturizing face cream and you're set. ( i use marcelle face cream because its really good :P )
you can use vichy face washes and their whole line of skin care (i use most of it)
or you could go for garnier fructice, or clean and clear etc.
oh and you might want to get a facial once or twice a week, just get the little package and do it at home if you cant get it done at the salon.
