The skin on my face is starting to peel, and I'm not sure why. I'm out of my face scrub so that isn't an option. What can I do to smooth my skin?

I would get a shower scrubby or just a washcloth, wash my face with warm water and a mild cleanser, and then use the scrubby or cloth to gently scrub my face in light circles to encourage dead cells to slough off. It sounds to me that you coud probbly use an exfoliator and that's the reason you have flaky skin. You're out of your scrub.
