4 Reasons Your Skin Is Dull and How to Make it Glow

Do you ever wonder why your skin looks dull? Skin with little color and glow is what is described as ‘dull skin,’ and there are many reasons your skin might fit this description.

But, for every cause of dull skin, there are just as many methods for making it glow again! So, here are four reasons your skin might be dull and how you can make it glow once more.

Your Skin is Lacking Collagen

You may know that the overarching reason why skin becomes dull is that it is lacking collagen. If not, though, you may be wondering what collagen actually is. Well, collagen is the most abundant protein found in the human body, and it is responsible for your skin’s strength and elasticity.

It’s easy to see why not having enough of this protein could cause problems, right? If you smoke, eat lots of sugar, or are just past a certain age, a lack of collagen in your skin is likely the reason for your dull skin.

But what can you do about it? Well, this collagen facial toner has CoQ10, an enzyme that can rebuild the levels of collagen in your skin. Using this toner alone could make your skin look glowy and youthful once again.

You’re Dehydrated

If you are dehydrated, your skin will be too. Not drinking enough water can have many effects on your health, but it also influences your looks too. Primarily, a lack of water in the body makes both your skin and hair look dull and dead.

There are many ways to rehydrate the skin, such as using moisturizers, face masks and even toners like the one above, but it is also important to treat the cause of the issue. If you start drinking eight glasses of water a day, you should quickly see an improvement in the look of your skin and a beautiful glow from within. Just think of it as your skin’s way of saying thank you!

You Need to Exfoliate

Exfoliation removes dead skin and debris from the surface of your face and keeps it looking clean and fresh. If you haven’t been exfoliating regularly, this can lead to a build-up of dead skin cells. These skin cells not only block your inner glow from escaping through the skin’s surface, but they also stop any of your moisturizing skin care products from penetrating it and getting to work.

By committing to exfoliating regularly, you can say goodbye to dull skin and hello to a beautiful glow. If you don’t currently have a go-to exfoliator in your routine, consider both face scrubs and chemical exfoliators (they’re less scary than they sound!).

You’re Sleep Deprived

Just like how dehydration can lead to dry, dull skin, being sleep deprived will make both you and your skin tired. Not sleeping enough can mean that your body doesn’t have a chance to reset and repair itself.

Depriving your skin cells of their chance to regenerate leads to dull-looking skin, so it is important to ensure you get at least seven to eight hours of sleep every night. If you want to speed up the process of your skin’s night-time repairs, try using a night cream.

If your lack of sleep is also caused by stress and anxiety, this is another way that your skin can become dull and tired. Stress causes an increase in cortisol levels, and this hormone affects both skin repair and the blood flow to your skin, making it look pale and dull. If you want your skin to glow, make sure you get enough sleep and try to reduce stress in your life.

 

Dull skin has many causes, but each of them has their own solutions that can make your skin glow from within!
