What Is Dull Skin?

We’ve all experienced it at one point—if not, the natural aging cycle will eventually lead you to it. That dull, bland complexion staring back at you, not reflecting light like your bright, smooth skin once did. That lack of radiance is the last thing you want to see in the morning, and you shouldn’t have to!

What is dull skin and how can it affect you?

Though many suffer from seasonal conditions such as dry, ashy skin with uneven texture, others struggle to find the cause of their patchy or even flaky skin. This discovery is only the first step in your new journey with your skin.

Everyone has different tolerances and sensitivities. Many people don’t take enough time to build a relationship with their skin. By incorporating healthy skincare habits into your daily routine, you'll reduce the risk of issues like dull skin.

What are the Causes & Remedies for Dull Skin

• SLEEP CYCLE
  Poor sleep disrupts the skin’s repair cycle and reduces blood flow, often creating a dull complexion.

  Use melatonin, sleep apps, or relaxing routines to support healthy sleep habits.
