Excess perspiration: Excess sweating can lead to foot infections that in turn can cause peeling of the feet. That would mean that apart from the humidity, your workout regime can contribute to peeling of the feet.

Strappy heels: You might love wearing strappy shoes in summer, but anything that causes friction can cause blisters which can lead to peeling of the skin. Don’t wear such shoes for too long and don’t let the strap dig into your skin.
Dehydration: Dehydration can not only decrease your metabolism and make you tired, but it can also lead to breakouts and peel your skin. So make sure that you are well hydrated always to prevent your skin from scaling.
Sunburn: Sunburns can also lead to peeling of the skin. So while you may lather your back and shoulders with a sunscreen, do not forget to apply it on your feet.
