💫Dull Skin tips ( Reveal your inner glow)
4 things you may not know about dull skin:
1. Dull skin is caused by an accumulation of dead skin cells on the surface of the skin. We shed millions of skin cells per day but as we age this process slows hiding your healthy skin below.
2. A damaged skin barrier can cause dull skin. It leads to significantly more Transepidermal water loss- water that evaporates through our skin into the air. Water loss is sped up when your skin barrier is not functioning optimally.
3. Pollution and other environmental exposures can cause dull skin.
4. Skincare ingredients that are too harsh or disagree with your skin can cause dull skin from irritation and a loss of water from a dysfunctional barrier.
💫How to reveal your glow?
✔️Use a lactic acid-based skincare product. Lactic breaks down the bond between dead skin cells revealing healthier skin. It’s also a humectant pulling water to the skin.💦
✔️ Hydrate skin topically using humectants hyaluronic, aloe vera and glycerin.
✔️ Use a nourishing cream in favor of a moisturizer. Nourishing creams have both hydrating and moisture ingredients along with antioxidants.
✔️ Use an occlusive emollient as the last step in PM (or both AM and PM- if use in AM apply before SPF). Emollients prevent epidermal water loss. 💦
✔️ Get regular facials to boost your home care results.
