 What is dull skin?

Dull skin is skin that is lackluster and lacks that coveted radiance. Quite simply, dull skin is caused by an excess of dead skin cells that build up on the skin, causing dryness, a loss of luminosity, and slower cell turnover. Your skin may feel uneven, rough, and in need of hydration.

 Why do I have it? 

Though dead skin cell build-up has a direct impact on your skin, so dotoo many other factors. A case of the dull-droms can also come from lifestyle and environmental stressors. Lack of sleep, smoking, too much sun, and an unhealthy diet can lead to less than stellar skin. Factor in pollution that causes free radicals to get trapped in the skin, and you may be looking sallow. And just like other skin concerns like aging, stress is a major culprit for dull skin.

 How do I treat it?

When it comes to your lifestyle, try and stick with with antioxidant-rich foods like blueberries, beans, avocado, and walnuts and be mindful of salt, sugar and overprocessed foods. And if you’re facing tough deadlines or work from home stress, a meditation app like Headspace can be super helpful to help clear your mind and take time for you.

 And we all know, sleep is crucial to overall health and wellness, and it’s excellent for stress management and dull skin too. Be sure to wash your face before bed to wipe off the remains of the day, and of course, brightening products that help correct your texture can give your skin the resilience and radiance boost it needs.
