My skin has been irritated for a few days, what can I do?

Hello, since Sunday (December 11) the skin on my face has a sandpaper texture. It started on my chin, then near my eyes and now my forehead. I started eating clementines again last weekend (Dec. 3-4) after a 3 or 4 year hiatus because I had also had the same skin problem at that time and I had blamed it on clementines since this is THE time of year we eat them. After peeling several clementines for my students this fall, I thought I was made right about clementines, but clearly I was wrong.
