What Do We Mean By Skin Dullness?
Considering the vast array of things our skin has to tolerate daily, it is no surprise that the skin can start to suffer by losing its luster. So often, skin becomes dull due to everyday stressors, especially the skin of the face. Under the right conditions, the skin should be supple, moist, and bright, but for people exposed to hazards regularly, the skin can start to suffer from conditions like:
- Uneven Texture: Dull skin lacks radiance because its texture cannot consistently reflect light. Small patches of unevenness scatter light, making the skin look flat and out of focus. When the poor texture of the skin is addressed, it can reflect much more light, making it appear brighter.
- Lackluster Appearance: When a person has dull skin, they may look like they’ve just woken up all day long. Skin usually looks dull in the morning because underlying muscles are still relaxed from sleep. The skin looks loose and muddled, and the tone is pale due to a lack of blood flow.
- Inconsistent Tone: The tone of skin, especially facial skin, is an important aspect. Dull skin will have a muddled tone, showing areas of hyperpigmentation and highlighting things like redness, dark circles under the eyes, and blemishes. When the skin tone is improved, all of the pigmentation that gives skin its tone can show its colors more boldly, so the skin color has a fuller body.
- Dryness: As the top layers of skin dry out, the cells that make up the skin start to flake away. The flakiness affects the texture and radiance. Plumping dehydrated skin can even out the microscopic surface of the skin and keep it healthy by reducing redness.
What Causes It?
Our skin is our body’s outermost defense against the onslaught of hazards we are constantly bombarded by. In modern society, the number of things conspiring to rob skin of its luster is seemingly inescapable. Some of the risks our skin faces daily are:
- UV light
- Environmental toxins
- Oxidative stress
- Abrasions
- Harsh beauty products
- Poor skincare routines
- Allergens
Most of these hazards are unavoidable, so everyone should have a skincare routine that provides complete protection. Your skincare routine should address the things that attack the skin and include elements like:
- Exfoliation
- Toning
- Cleansing
- Moisturizing
- Sunscreen
How Can You Treat Skin Dullness?
Treating skin dullness takes a twofold approach. First, try to stop doing the things that harm the skin. Smoking depletes the body of vitamin C, which helps the skin repair its collagen. By stopping smoking, everyone can turn back the clock on their skin.
Diet is another easy way to address the sources of dull skin. Eating a balanced diet with less processed food gives the body the building blocks necessary to rebuild new skin.
Finally, stop going outside without protection. UV damage constantly harms the collagen and elastin in the skin, even indoors. Using an SPF every morning can significantly reduce the amount of damage occurring to the skin.
The second approach to treating dull skin is proactive. While a skincare routine will go a long way towards protecting the skin and keeping it moist and bright, there are occasions when more deliberate treatments are a good idea. Some of the best things to improve skin brightness quickly are:
- Bio RePeel facials used to treat wrinkles, discolored skin, and scars
- Skinbetter AlphaRet is one of our favorite retinol products to help rejuvenate the skin
- Brightening facials to bring radiance back
- Dermaplaning to remove peachfuzz and dead skin
- Microneedling to revitalize your skin
By following both recommended courses of action, everyone can quickly achieve the skin brightness they want and maintain the results.
