How to treat dull skin? Well first of all we need to find out what the reason is that you have dull skin. Is it because the skin is not really exfoliated well and there's too much dead skin layer on there?
Is it because the skin looks dull because there's too much pigmentation and the skin doesn't really look clean and it has that little bit of a dirty effect? Or is it because the skin is not stimulated enough and it's just looking a little bit under stimulated, a little bit dull and just doesn't really have that hydration and that reflection in it? So what are the different ways that we can treat dull skin?
The first very easy option is with really good exfoliation and with including a vitamin A like a retinol or a tretinoin. This can really help exfoliate the skin, get rid of the dead skin layer and also get that stimulation in the skin to really start working and wake up. The second thing is just from doing really simple hydrating treatments like skin boosters which are injectable or something that's not injectable and less invasive like a really good quality hydrafacial.
And if the skin really needs that wake up then I love my micro-needling treatments over the top.
