Lately my facial skin has looked very scaley (like a fish). I'm 22, and I moisturize daily, drink a lot of water, and stay out of the sun. What do you think it could be?

Are you indoors with heat on frequently? That does it to me. Try using a light exfoliant.

guide:
RY SKIN
HOW TO IDENTIFY IT: Feels tight and dry after cleansing. Cold weather and/or dry air makes it rough and flaky.
Cleanse: A moisturizing cleanser or cleansing bar should leave skin feeling clean, fresh and smooth without dryness, according to Howard Murad, M.D., assistant clinical professor of dermatology at UCLA School of Medicine. Use a soothing formula (one to try: Murad Moisture Rich Skin Cleanser) twice a day.
Tone: Gently sweep non-alcohol toner over skin with a cotton ball. (If even mild toners dry and irritate, skip this step.)
Moisturize: Opt for a creamy formula rather than one labeled "oil-free." Extra assistance-alpha-hydroxy acids help smooth and exfoliate while ingredients such as vitamin E, aloe and panthenol soothe. (Check labels.) Apply while skin's still damp after cleansing to seal in moisture, says Murad. But dot and blend; don't glop it on. Skin should feel fresh and moist, not greasy!
Troubleshoot: Use a salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide cream to spot-treat any blemishes. A moisturizing mask once a week exfoliates and smoothes. All but the creamiest grains over-dry.
Makeup: A moisturizing foundation helps protect and soften and delivers the smoothest coverage. Just add cream blush.
Extra Advice: If skin's superdry, you may prefer to tissue off cleanser rather than rinse. Soothing tissue choice-ultra-soft Kleenex Cold Care with Lotion.

I have been using Nu Skin 180º® Anti-Aging Skin Therapy System and it doesn't compare to any other. My skin chemistry changes all of the time and I still never have a problem.

Probably cold winter weather. Try exfoliating, then moisturizing.

I used to have a problem exactly like yours, and my problem turned out to be they type of water I showered in. I don't know if thats your problem but I think you should check your water, and maybe it will help you.
