DULL COMPLEXION

Dull Complexion, what is it?

Dehydrated skin doesn't have enough water in the dermis, which causes premature fine lines and a dull complexion. In skin care, dullness essentially refers to a lack of radiance or an inability to reflect light well. Dull skin may appear dry, patchy, ashy, or dull. Additionally, dullness is often accompanied by uneven skin texture because textured skin is less able to reflect light evenly.

What Can Cause Dull Complexion?

Lack of sleep, cold, unbalanced diet, stress or even hormonal imbalance, there are many causes of a dull and tired complexion. Concretely, it’s actually the quality of your skin that is impaired because of dead cells or impurities that accumulate over time. Result ? Your complexion is less even and shows irregularities.

Dehydration

If you don't drink enough water, it will likely affect the appearance of your skin. In fact, a 2015 study found a strong link between drinking enough water and having healthy skin. Drinking plenty of water will help boost hydration from the subcutaneous layers of your skin. Additionally, applying a hydrating facial serum can help fix the water content in the upper layers of your skin.

Lack of moisturizer

Not using moisturizer, especially if your skin tends to be dry, can affect the health and vitality of your skin. Using a moisturizer twice a day can help hydrate your skin and protect the delicate top layer.

Accumulation of dead cells

Your skin naturally and regularly gets rid of dead cells to make way for new cells. But sometimes dead cells are not removed as they should. Instead, they build up on the surface of your skin. The skin can then be dry, dull, flaky and rough.

Drought

Dry skin can quickly take on the appearance of dull, lifeless skin. This is especially true if you work in an air-conditioned room all day or if the climate is very low in humidity.

Aging

Aging is an inevitable part of life. Aging of the skin too. And if you can't control the aging process, you can adopt a skin care routine that helps provide your skin with the nourishment and hydration it needs to stay healthy and vibrant.

Exfoliation +

Exfoliating your skin boosts the phenomenon of natural desquamation: the dead cells which blur the complexion detach from the superficial layers and leave the way open for younger cells.
