Question: Dry Flaky Skin

hi dr maureen I have a problem with dry flaky skin as well as enlarged pores. i have been using a homemade sugar scrub however i am not getting the desired results. is there anything you can reccommend?

Answer

Unfortunately, scrubs are not going to change the size or texture of your pores. You can never really shrink a pore completely, but you can refine the texture of the skin and make those pores appear smaller and less "angry looking." You will need to consider a course of treatments along with what you are doing at home to achieve a good result. Treatments (depending on how severe the problem area is), could be a combinatin of various modalities including chemical peeling, laser and possibly even medical needling. All of this would depend on what is present on your skin. Are you near enough to one of our Skin Renewal Branches so that we can help you?
