How To Turn Skin From Dull To Glowing

Dewy, glowing skin is something we all long for. We all experienced that perfect glow sometime in our life when we were younger. As we get older, our cellular turnover slows down. The excess build-up of dead skin, dryness, and damaged cells result in dull skin. You probably think the only way to achieve glowing skin again is to use makeup and a highlighter. The good news is that having a good skincare regimen can restore natural luminosity.

Cleanse - Dirt, oil, and pollutants can cause the skin to appear dull. Washing your face regularly morning and night can freshen the skin for a brighter-looking complexion.

Exfoliate - Achieving a natural glow can be done by exfoliating. Removing the outer dead skin cells that make the skin look dull can give immediate and long term results. It leaves the skin smoother and brighter. Exfoliating the skin can be done with a manual exfoliant or with chemical exfoliants.

Serum - Consider using a serum with brightening ingredients such as vitamin C, alpha hydroxy acids, antioxidants, fatty acids, and hyaluronic acid. These ingredients help to keep skin moisturized and speed up the skin’s natural repair process.

Sunscreen - Protecting your skin from damaging UV rays is one of the most important steps to maintaining a healthy glow in your complexion. The sun can dry out the skin and deplete its levels of essential fatty acids, leaving skin looking and feeling dry, flaky and wrinkled, over time. Sun damage also slows down skin cell renewal rate, causing a build-up of old, dead skin cells that result in dull, congested skin.
