Dull Skin

Radiant, glowing skin is a sign of youth, vitality and energy. From the outside in, the key to glowing skin is daily deep cleansing, exfoliation and moisturisation. Unfortunately, most of us don’t lead a saintly lifestyle in a tranquil environment and, without a little extra help, skin can look dull and tired. Even if you are not the most committed to your skincare regime, ‘switch on’ your skin and really get glowing, with the skin survival guide below:

• Know your environment. Even a simple shopping trip can expose our pores to thousands of toxins from air conditioning and pollution. Regularly treat your skin to an extra deep cleanse to banish dirt from the pores.
• Stub it out Smoking is a huge skin sin. Smokers usually wrinkle earlier than non-smokers and puffing away interferes with the skin's natural defence against toxins, making skin look dull and tired.
• Relax Stress makes the body release androgens and hormones that upset the balance of the skin, so when we are stressed, we are more likely to suffer from spots and dull skin. Try to relax and get enough rest to keep your hormones under control and keep your skin looking great.
• Eat sensibly. Although we are all tempted to crash diet into that little black dress for a date or special occasion, it’s important to remember that some good fats are needed to keep the skin looking radiant!
