Unveiling Radiance: Understanding Dull Skin and Its Characteristics
Dullness refers to skin that lacks radiance and brightness. It can often be ashy, patchy and/or dry. What’s more, dull skin on the face often isn’t able to reflect light well. This often causes uneven skin tone and texture, as the skin is less able to reflect light uniformly.
Exploring Common Causes of Dull Skin: Dehydration and Dryness
There are several dull skin causes, let’s look at the most common.
Firstly, dehydration is a big factor. Hydrating face serums, as well as moisturisers will help restore skin moisture levels. Similarly, dryness can also cause dullness. This is particularly common in the winter months when the air is cold and dry.
The Impact of Lifestyle on Skin Dullness: Smoking and Premature Aging
As well as this, lifestyle factors, such as smoking, also affect the skin. Smoking can impair collagen production and degrade connective tissues in the skin. This leads to signs of premature skin aging, particularly dullness.
Exfoliation for Skin Radiance: Removing Dead Skin Cells
A build-up of dead skin cells also causes dullness. While the skin naturally sheds dead cells itself, sometimes they don’t shed as they should causing skin to look dull and flaky.
