Dull skin can look flat, lacking in an appearance that is radiant and bright and when the skin has lost its glow, it can often result in an aged and tired appearance.

Developing dull skin can have a number of causes, with dehydration being a condition that is likely to accompany this concern.

Ensuring you consume plenty of fluids on a daily basis is obvious in order to keep the body and the skin hydrated – and contributing to their healthy functioning. However, the process of ageing can disrupt many efficiencies within the body, and one of these disruptions is the production of collagen and elastin within the skin. This process becomes less efficient as we get older, causing the levels of these two substances to decrease, having an effect on maintaining sufficient moisturisation. This in turn can impact on the skin’s ability to resurface and allow the regrowth of healthy new skin cells, as a result dead skin cells accumulate on the surface and lead to the dull dry appearance.

A dull, dry texture to the skin is often an unwanted appearance that a person can feel dissatisfied with. Keeping up with a regular routine of daily cleansing and exfoliating can contribute to a healthier skin condition, making it look brighter. Some people also add moisturising into this routine, but it is important to use the right one for your skin, in order to avoid a counterintuitive effect.
