After 5 mins from taking a shower, my face gets all dried and the dry skin starts to peel off. I always have to put on some lotion but it gets annoying... Why does this happen to me?

This is normal after a shower (however) your condition may be worse
I would wash your face at night and then put vasaline all over your face...watch tv or do something till it kind of dries a bit (it may get on your pillow no matter what) Then in the morning it should have absorbed into your skin then use a really intense moistureizer or actual lotion I recommend vaseline intensive care advanced healing...use with caution (just not a lot) since it is not made for your face.
I use vaseline all the time even on my feet and hands I protect them at night with socks (I use my husbands long ones) for your hands and feet. Dont be afraid to use a lot of vaseline the more the better.
your skin does go through cycles and skin will peel off I am sure it is only natural. But if what I recommend does not work then see a doc.

You might have hard water. Try installing a water softener at your home. That helps take out the bad chemicals in regular tap water that will commonly cause your skin to dry out. Or you can change your bath soap. Sometimes I like to use Dove or Oil of Olay. If you are a guy and don't want to smell like a girl after bathing, go to your local grocery store. There are lots of brands of soap to help moisturize dry skin. Some I can think of right off hand are Jergens, Suave, and Johnson & Johnson's in the baby section. Hope this helps.

dry skin is normal after a bath due to soap removes natural oils, but should not peel. I would see a dermatologist soon

because you probably washed it with soap.. soap will clean the skin but it will also dry it out because it removed the oil.. buy yourself some really good moisturizing cream.. not some dumb thing like vasaline intensive care.. get something that has aloe vera as the number one ingredient.. or if you want to be cheap.. just get some baby oil.. it's good stuff..

stop using soap on your face. There are other cleansers.
