How to revive dull skin

Read on to understand what are some of the effective ways to remove face dullness, and fix dull skin complexion -

• Use the right products for dull skin

How to remove dull skin, you ask? Try the right skincare products and build a thorough routine (including using sunscreen every day and exfoliating twice or thrice a week to remove face dullness). While selecting effective skincare products for correcting dull skin complexion, you must look for AHAs like glycolic acid in the ingredients list. Glycolic acid works miraculously (by breaking down and eliminating dead skin cells from the skin’s surface) on dull skin issues. This star ingredient can repair dull skin, reduce dark spots, and leave you with bright and beaming skin. Include glycolic-acid products (cleansers, scrub, serum, day and night cream) in your skincare routine for dull complexion and see the results for yourself. We recommend you to choose products from the L'Oréal Paris Glycolic Bright range and L’Oréal Paris UV Defender range for best results.

• Focus on skin hydration

To repair dull skin, drink plenty of water and make hydrating face masks your new skin friend. Face masks that are packed with hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid provide an instant plumping and hydrating effect. The result: Your dull complexion will be replaced by a fresh, glowing complexion. We recommend you to use L'Oréal Paris Revitalift Hyaluronic Acid Fresh Mix Serum Sheet Mask twice a week for positive results.

• Indulge in occasional face-steaming sessions

Remove face dullness by indulging in a steaming routine. Steaming helps open up pores, release acne-causing bacteria and trapped sebum, promotes collagen and elastin (for youthful skin), and most importantly boosts blood circulation that results in a healthy, clear, and bright-looking skin. So, the next time when someone asks you on ‘how to get rid of dull skin using home remedies’, share this simple yet effective tip.

• Remove makeup before bed and try face massage

If looking in the mirror and complaining ‘my face is dull and tired’ has become a daily ritual for you, we have the perfect solution for you. Remove the last traces of makeup, sebum, and impurities from your face with our makeup removal guide, and pave way for healthy and glowing skin. You can try face and eye massages. Gently massaging your temples, jaws in circular motions, and pulling your fingers towards your ear can also gift you glowing skin. To soothe tired eyes, place your thumbs on your inner eyebrows and, using gentle pressure, slowly slide them out towards your temples. Repeat, but this time start from just above your eyebrows. This reduces fine lines and will leave you radiant.

• Eat healthy and get adequate sleep

‘How to revive dull skin’ or ‘how to remove dullness from face’- if these queries are troubling you, here’s an easier solution for this – make some simple tweaks in your lifestyle. For instance, consume a balanced diet (include omega 3 fatty acid-rich foods, avoid spicy, sugary foods, and limit your alcohol intake) and get enough sleep. Poor sleep can impact the moisture and pH levels of the skin, making it look dull and dehydrated. Since the skin regenerates itself at night, eight hours of beauty sleep can help you remove face dullness.

Save yourself from sinking deep into the abyss of dull and tired skin by implementing the above-mentioned ways to repair dull skin. After all, the cure is in the care, i.e., skincare.
