Dull complexion: what to do about lack of radiance?

The radiance of the complexion is fragile, many factors dull it: pollution, fatigue, stress, diet... How can you regain a radiant, fresh and luminous complexion?

What is dull skin?

Dull skin is recognizable by its lack of uniformity: the complexion appears blurred, almost gray. Pigment spots can also appear on the face, these spots darken once exposed to UV rays. Dull complexion makes you look tired, you appear older than your actual age.

What makes skin dull?

The skin reflects our lifestyle and the care we give it. Improper cleansing can be the cause of uneven skin tone. When it is not done thoroughly, cleansing does not remove all impurities from the face, the skin does not breathe well and imperfections appear. Pollution also disrupts the skin's radiance because it promotes the proliferation of dead cells and causes slow blood circulation. Diet has a strong impact on the appearance of the skin, which is responsible for eliminating toxins. Excess alcohol, fatty or overly processed foods disrupt the balance of the skin and promote the appearance of redness, imperfections and loss of radiance. Sugar can even accelerate skin aging because it stiffens collagen and elastin, which are responsible for the density and elasticity of the skin. The appearance of brown spots that give this irregular appearance to the skin is mainly due to significant exposure to the sun. The skin itself produces parasol molecules to protect itself, but significant exposure to UV rays causes a disruption: these molecules are then produced in too large quantities, which causes the appearance of pigment spots.

What routine should I adopt?

• Clean your skin well To begin with, the radiance of the skin depends mainly on its cleansing. Double cleansing is highly recommended to boost skin radiance; it is the most important step in a beauty routine, which prepares for the application of other treatments, and which allows for well-oxygenated skin. • Do a scrub After cleansing your skin, exfoliating your face once or twice a week is ideal for removing dead cells and restoring a radiant complexion. Exfoliation helps your skin become softer and more radiant, while eliminating imperfections. Exfoliation preserves the skin's elasticity and therefore preserves its youthfulness. • Apply a night mask: Glowing skin means nourished and hydrated skin. At night, your skin regenerates. Applying a night cream is therefore a very effective option to regain a luminous complexion. The Vitality Sleeping Mask is a night mask cream that diffuses an optimal concentration of active ingredients during sleep to boost the skin. The result is visible upon waking: the complexion is fresh and radiant. Better nourished, the skin is regenerated and protected for the day. • Sun protection: Daily sun protection helps prevent the appearance of brown spots and prevents existing spots from darkening. Touch&Protect is a moisturizing cream offering high protection against dehydration and sun protection. Its ultra-practical case allows for use in a single step and at any time. Cell Protector is a protective treatment against UVA/UVB rays and environmental stress which provides perfect protection against all external aggressions (UVA/UVB rays, pollution, climate and even diet).
