Dull complexion
When the skin lacks water in the dermis, it can have fine lines and a dull complexion. Dullness of the skin refers to a lack of radiance or difficulty in reflecting light, which can make the skin dry, uneven, ashy or dull. Textured skin can also contribute to dullness because it cannot reflect light evenly. To remedy this, it is important to moisturize the skin and exfoliate it regularly. Using skin-lightening products can also help improve the appearance of dull skin.
What can cause dull complexion?
Dull complexion can have several causes, such as lack of sleep, cold weather conditions, unbalanced diet, stress or hormonal imbalances. In reality, it is the quality of the skin that is altered by the accumulation of dead cells and impurities over time. This can cause unevenness and make skin tone less even.
Some examples:
Dehydration
When you don't drink enough water, it can affect the appearance of your skin. In fact, a study has shown that drinking enough water is closely linked to healthy skin. By drinking enough water, you can help hydrate your skin from the subcutaneous layers. Additionally, applying a hydrating face serum can help retain moisture in the upper layers of the skin.
Lack of moisturizer
If you don't hydrate your skin with moisturizer, it can affect the health and appearance of your skin, especially if your skin is naturally dry. Applying moisturizer twice a day can help nourish and protect the top layer of skin, while keeping it hydrated. This can contribute to healthier, more radiant skin.
Accumulation of dead cells
The skin constantly regenerates and naturally sheds dead cells to make room for new cells. However, sometimes dead cells are not removed properly and accumulate on the surface of the skin. This can lead to a dry, dull, flaky, and rough appearance of the skin.
