Why is my skin peeling and itchy?

About a week ago, the skin on my hands had started to peel, which I've seen before but after a week or so it's starting to itch and burn, any reason why this is happening?

Peeling hands might be caused by overuse of soap/cleansers and use of hand sanitizers. Cold weather can make hand peeling worse.
