WHAT CAUSES DULL SKIN?

Unfortunately, there’s not one single cause for dull skin. The natural ageing process can often be a cause for dull or lacklustre skin as skin begins to lose its elasticity and fullness. Lifestyle can also have a huge impact on skin appearing dull as a lack of sleep, water and a poor diet can also contribute. Find that your skin looks less radiant after a particularly stressful day at the office? Stress can play a part in your skin’s appearance too.

If you’re skipping exfoliants in your routine, this could also be the cause. When dead skin cells sit on the skin, this layer can prevent your skin from reflecting light. Exfoliating helps to remove these dead skin cells from the surface of your skin.

 

From time to time, everyone can suffer with dull skin, or skin that’s simply lost its natural glow. Lack of sleep, a change in weather, even fluctuating hormones can all contribute to skin that looks dull and devitalised.

Fortunately, getting brighter-looking skin is often as simple as making a few considered skincare and lifestyle tweaks to help skin look and feel nourished and radiant, with a smoother texture that reflects light more effectively for that all-important skin glow.

Moisturising is a key part in keeping skin hydrated to make sure it doesn't look dull or lacklustre. Our Revitalise & Glow™ Illuminating Gel Moisturiser quenches skin with hydration, naturally exfoliates and minimises the appearance of pores for a dewy-looking finish.

An exfoliator doesn’t need to be in your everyday skincare routine, especially if you have sensitive skin, but they’re essential to unlocking brighter skin. Using an exfoliator helps to buff away dull, dead skin cells to leave you with glowing skin. Whether you choose a physical exfoliant, such as our Gentle Face Exfoliator, or an exfoliating tonic, such as our Smooth & Glow™ Exfoliating Tonic, exfoliators are great to leave your skin feeling resurfaced.

STEP TWO: Tone

Cleansing is an essential step in any skincare routine, especially if your skin is looking dull or lacklustre. Our Cleanse & Glow™ Transforming Gel Cleanser removes SPF, dirt, pollutants

and make up to leave behind luminous, glowing skin.

Removing any dead skin cells gives your skin the best

chance at looking radiant.

OTHER TOP TIPS

Feed your skin! Whatever you put into your body can really help make a difference to how your skin looks, as well as how it feels. Ensure you are drinking plenty of fresh, filtered water every day to combat dehydration, and maximise the amount of antioxidant-rich fresh fruit and vegetables in your diet. Adequate proteins and ‘good’ fats – like omegas – are also essential for healthy-looking skin.

Get plenty of beauty sleep. Cell activity peaks overnight to repair the day’s damage, so well-rested skin is often brighter-looking.
