I've been diving for 1 year now and after every dive my skin around my mouth starts to peel the next day. It's from the corner of my mouth down, the same area where the exhaust bubbles from my regulator hit my face. Is this normal? Can it be from bad air? I've been getting my tanks filled from 3 different shops but I'm still getting the peeling. It's like really bad chapped skin or a bad sun burn.
 
Have you considered the possibility of an allergic reaction to your reg's mouthpiece? Perhaps you might want try swapping it out for a Sea Cure, or some other industry standard...

You might want to post this in the Dive Medicine forum... Much better educated observations in there...
