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 unevenness: the complexion appears dull, almost gray. Pigmentation spots can also appear on the face, which darken when exposed to UV rays. A dull complexion makes you look tired, making you look older than your actual age.
What makes skin dull?
The skin reflects our lifestyle and the care we give it. Poor 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 radiance of the skin, because it promotes the proliferation of dead cells and causes a slowdown in blood circulation. Diet has a strong impact on the appearance of the skin, 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, responsible for the density and elasticity of the skin. The appearance of brown spots which gives this uneven appearance to the skin is mainly due to significant exposure to the sun . The skin itself produces sunshade molecules to protect itself, but significant exposure to UV rays causes a disruption: these molecules are then produced in excessive quantities, which causes the appearance of pigment spots.
What routine should I adopt?
1. Clean your skin well
To begin with, skin radiance depends primarily on cleansing. Double cleansing is highly recommended to boost skin radiance; it's the most important step in a beauty routine, preparing it for other skincare treatments and ensuring skin is well-oxygenated.
2. Exfoliate
After cleansing your skin, exfoliating your face once or twice a week is ideal for removing dead skin cells and restoring a radiant complexion. Exfoliation helps skin become softer and more radiant, while eliminating imperfections. Exfoliation maintains skin elasticity, thus preserving its youthful appearance.
3. Apply a night mask
Radiant skin is nourished and hydrated. Your skin regenerates at night. Applying a nighttime treatment is therefore a highly effective option for restoring a luminous complexion. The Vitality Sleeping Mask is a night mask cream that releases an optimal concentration of active ingredients while you sleep to boost your skin. The results are visible as soon as you wake up: your complexion is fresh and radiant. Better nourished, your skin is regenerated and protected for the day.
4. Sun protection
Daily sun protection helps prevent the appearance of brown spots and prevents existing spots from darkening. Cell Protector is a protective treatment against UVA/UVB rays and environmental stress, providing perfect protection against all external aggressions (UVA/UVB rays, pollution, climate, and even diet).
