Brightening a Dull Complexion
Anybody with dull skin, no matter how pretty the face, will always appear
haggard, tired and old. Dull skin has many different causes and not much of them
are attributed to heredity. Lifestyle, diet, habits and the misuse and
unsupervised application of anti-aging treatments are few of the causes. Of
course there is also the issue of the genes but if we discount that for the
moment, here are the following anti-aging treatments that address dull skin.
The Causes
While aging causes skin to dull that is mainly due to the skins
slowing regenerative process, dull skin is also caused by fatigue and stress.
Just as often the lack of vitamins and other essential nutrients, drinking
alcohol, smoking, exposure extreme temperatures, frequent sun and wind exposure,
slow blood circulation and sickness causes dull skin complexion.
The anti-aging treatments to livelier skin
Drink plenty of liquids. The
body is composed largely of water. It expels plenty of them every day and
consequently needs a lot to keep it working properly. Plenty of water and juices
will keep the body hydrated. Sometimes, sweating alone could lively up the
skin.
Food choices. Foods that are rich in amino and other fatty acids like berries
and nuts help restore the glow to the skin. Sometimes though this is the
instance when you could use fatty foods, dull skin complexion is also a sign of
the body's deficiency in fats and oils.
Moisturize. Applying make-up before moisturizing the skin will ultimately
result in dull complexion. Applying a make-up that is yellow based only make
matters worse. Avoid them.
Exercise. There is no better way to make the skin lively than to conduct a
more lively life. Sweating cleanses the pores and removes trapped dirt and even
old skin. Exercise also excites the oil glands in the skin. When the oil from
the body is moved out to the outer skin layers, it will coat the skin
rejuvenating it and making it healthier.
Exfoliate. Our skin is replenished yearly but why wait that long. Exfoliating
twice a week does the job well. Not exfoliating regularly is allowing the skin
to accumulate the dead and dying cells in its surface dulling the skin. Not
exfoliating regularly causes pores to be plugged by old oils in the skin that
may already have accumulated enough dirt; ultimately, this will lead to black
heads and unsightly unevenness of skin texture not to mention an unhealthy
pallor.
Massages. Massaging the skin improves blood circulation. Facial muscles
benefit much from this. Massaging the face with facial creams and massaging oils
will improve the skin color, improve unsightly fleshiness, and will tighten the
tissues and facial muscles.
Dermabrasion and microdermabrasion are good to brighten the complexion. Not
to be confused with skin peels and exfoliation, microdermabrasion contains
aluminum oxide crystals that cleans and removes surface dirt and dead cells and
are effective at providing youthful looking skin.
Use Steam. Done once a week will be a very effective method at cleaning deep
seated dirt and in loosening up debris that have been imbedded into the skin. It
also removes traces of make up that have not been removed well. The heat will
also open the pores of the skin clearing away and flushing out
toxins.
Apply brightening masks. Brightening face masks are good at correcting
irregularities in pigmentation and prevent the development of decolonization.
What results is brighter and a very pleasant skin tone.
