A dull complexion , tired skin, a lack of radiance... These signs are common and
can be caused by different elements: temperature variations, pollution, stress,
fatigue, unbalanced diet or even an unsuitable care routine.
The result? A less luminous complexion, skin that appears less fresh and more uneven.
But good news: it is possible to revive the radiance of your face with a routine of
adapted care and some simple everyday tips. Follow the guide!

How to recognize dull skin?

Dull skin has a pale complexion with enlarged pores and an uneven appearance. It lacks luminosity and often appears tired, sometimes even grayish, due to a lack of hydration or the accumulation of dead skin cells.

Why does skin lose its radiance?

Various factors can explain the appearance of a dull complexion:

Pollution : it clogs pores and prevents the skin from breathing, thus dulling the complexion.
Stress and fatigue : they slow down cell regeneration, giving the skin a
tired appearance.
Dehydration : A lack of hydration can weaken the skin, making it drier and marked by fine lines, while reducing its natural radiance.
Unbalanced diet : A diet low in antioxidants and high in sugars or saturated fats can disrupt the skin's balance, leading to problems such as acne, dehydration or a dull complexion.
An unsuitable skincare routine : Neglecting to double cleanse or using products that are too harsh can alter the skin's balance, leading to a loss of hydration and a less luminous complexion.

Now that you know where this lack of shine comes from, let's move on to solutions!

Lifestyle tips for a fresh complexion

To regain a radiant complexion, adopt a few simple daily habits:
Drink enough water : Hydration starts from the inside out! Drink at least 1.5L of water per day.
A “healthy glow” diet : it is recommended to consume foods rich in vitamin C (citrus fruits, peppers), omega-3 fatty acids (salmon, flaxseed oil), antioxidants (berries, dark chocolate), carotenoids (carrots, sweet potato) and spices such as turmeric and ginger, known for their anti-inflammatory properties.
Get enough sleep : Lack of sleep accentuates dull complexion and dark circles.
Move regularly : sport stimulates blood circulation and oxygenates the skin.
Get some fresh air and expose yourself to natural light : daylight boosts energy and a radiant complexion.
