4 Reasons Why Skin Looks Dull & How To Get A Radiant Complexion

It’s such a compliment to hear, “you’re glowing”. Skin that has that indescribable glow is hard to define, but you know it when you see it. Does it come from pure happiness, a harmonious chi, inner beauty, or eight hours of deep, restorative sleep?

For those of us suffering from dull skin and who are short on any of the above, the good news is that there are facial rejuvenation treatments that can help capture that elusive “glow”. If you’re feeling a bit lacklustre, the skin experts at Appearance Clinic Australia can tailor a treatment plan to suit your individual skin care needs.

What Causes Dull Skin?

1. Dead skin cells

Every day, our skin sheds literally millions of skin cells. If you’re a bit relaxed with exfoliating, those skin cells build up and over time give your skin a greyish tint. Not only do dead skin cells make your skin look dull, they clog pores, creating a haven for bacteria which can lead to breakouts.

2. Pollution

Minuscule particles in the air from pollution get caught on the skin and wreak havoc with the skin’s natural defensive barrier. When pollutants or free radicals are absorbed by the skin, they can damage collagen and affect pigment production, leading to uneven texture and tone, making the skin appear dull.

3. Dehydration

Drinking more water seems to be the recommended solution to just about any ailment! However, when it comes to our skin’s natural glow, hydration is so important. Without moisture, the skin starts to thin and looks dull. Lines and wrinkles appear more obvious with dehydrated skin.

4. Sun Damage

Sun exposure is like kryptonite to youthful skin. Sun damage causes pigmentation concerns such as sun spots and freckles, and it also weakens collagen, leading to lax, dull skin.

Tips & Treatments To Get Your Complexion Glowing

Exfoliate, Microdermabrasion, Peels

Exfoliate your skin once or twice a week. Use gentle products on sensitive skin. Microdermabrasion will give your at-home exfoliating a boost. Customised, professional medical-grade peels are ideal for removing dead skin cells, improving pigmentation and revealing brighter skin.

Wash, Moisturise & Protect

Wash your face every night to remove pollutants, dirt and makeup. Choose a gentle cleanser and apply a moisturiser (suited to your individual skin needs) before bed. In the morning, load up on antioxidants such as Vitamin C serum to help prevent damage from free radicals. To hydrate the skin, hyaluronic acid serum can be used, topped off with a protecting moisturiser. Most importantly, wear a good quality sunscreen every day.
