What is dull skin?
The symptoms of dull skin are a grey tinge to the skin, lack of evenness and a face marked by fatigue. These marks can include fine lines, shadows or dark spots on certain areas of the face. Exposure to the sun tends to make them darker.
Tired eyes and a "poor complexion", are signs that deserve to be taken care of by treatments dedicated to restoring radiance to dull skin.
Causes of a dull complexion
Poor sleep, winter temperatures, hormonal imbalances, fatigue and stress can all lead to dull and tired skin. Other external factors such as smoking, pollution or poor diet may also be involved. Asphyxiating particles found in the city load the exposed face with toxins and free radicals.
Cellular renewal breaks down, blood circulation slows down, impurities build up. All this amplifies the uneven quality of the skin and darkens your complexion.
