Oh No, Not Again…The Dull Skin Dilemma

Oh No, Not Again…The Dull Skin Dilemma

Most of us often look in the mirror and notice our skin type not having that glow it once used to have?

Well, you’re not alone.

Dull skin is a common concern, and it can happen to anyone at any point in life. So today, let us discuss some common causes, characteristics and special remedies.

But before we delve deeply, the good news is that the problem is totally manageable, and you can regain your lost radiance, fresh, and glowing skin back.

I came across an article recently which talked about why Jennifer Aniston swears by using face oils for her glowing smooth skin. In fact, a survey indicated that 72% of skincare enthusiasts believe in the benefits of vitamin E skin repair face oils for improved hydration.

Dull Skin and Its Causes?

Dull skin is characterized by a lack of moisture and radiance. It appears dry, patchy, and worn. It also has an uneven skin texture as it cannot reflect light uniformly. Skin is the body’s largest organ, and it can at times go through various changes. Here are the most common causes of dry skin:

Dehydration

Dull and dry skin depends upon some internal as well as external factors. Internally, it often results from dehydration. A 2015 study revealed a strong relation between drinking enough water and healthy skin. Externally, to expedite the hydration process quickly, one has to chose the best organic blend of vitamin c skin brightening face oils.

Smoking

Smoking is also associated with dry and dull skin. A 2010 review found smoking to be an essential factor in premature skin aging. (2) This is because smoking hinders collagen and affects the elastic fibers and connective tissues in your skin. This leads to aging and dull skin.

Sun Exposure

Excessive exposure to harmful UV rays in the sun and pollution are external factors that cause dull skin. UV rays result in the formation of free radicals that affect your skin’s appearance by hindering collagen and elastin.

Accumulation of Dead Skin Cells

The skin naturally sheds dead skin cells, and sometimes they don’t shed often. They often accumulate on the skin, resulting in dry and flakey skin.            

How to Fix Dry Skin?

While dry skin is irksome, it is manageable. Here’s how you can make your dry skin look nourished and healthy.

Exfoliate Your Skin Regularly

Since our skin tends to accumulate dead skin cells and debris, exfoliation is a must. Regular exfoliation can help remove dead skin buildup and unclog your pores. It also helps smooth and polish your skin, making your skin appear well-nourished.

Use a Face Oil

Some of the upcoming face oils produced by Zero1Bio for dull and dehydrated skin are:

·         Radiance Complex™ (Vitamin C & E) Skin Brightening Face Oil

·         MoistureBoost Pro™ Enhanced with Lipid-Rich Oils + Vitamin E

·         ProAge Restore™ Bio-Active Anti-Ageing & Skin Repair Formula

If you suffer from chronic dull and dry skin, incorporating these 100% natural oils in your skincare routine would help brighten your skin tone, boost hydration and reduce dullness. Try to use face oil at least once daily, after cleansing.

Wear Sunscreen

To prevent sun damage, you must always wear sunscreen whenever you go out. Use a SPF 30+ sunscreen to protect against UV damage and avoid sun spots and dull skin.
