How to bring back your glow

Dull skin is skin that's lost its natural radiance. Here's what can cause it, and simple ways to help your skin look brighter.

How to bring back your glow

What does dull skin mean?

When skin looks dull, it's lacking the lustre and radiance that gives a healthy, glowing complexion. This can happen when dead skin cells build up on the surface, as the skin's natural renewal slows with age. Dull skin is often dry or dehydrated too, lacking water and natural oils.

What can cause dull skin?

  • Dehydration
  • Smoking
  • Diet
  • Not enough sleep
  • Alcohol
  • Stress
  • Natural ageing
  • Skincare that isn't right for your skin

How to help your skin glow

  • Exfoliate gently, around twice a week or as advised by your skin therapist, to lift away dead cells. This can be a chemical or physical exfoliant, and it also helps your skincare absorb better.
  • Hydrate from the inside and out by drinking plenty of water through the day and using a hydrating serum.
  • Stay consistent with a routine that suits your skin.
