Concerns

Dull & Dry Skin

As a person ages, the skin naturally begins to produce less sebum and loses its radiance as dead skin cells begin to accumulate on the face. Skin can also begin to lack hyaluronic acid, which helps maintain adequate hydration levels, and therefore the skin begins to dry out.

Dull, dry skin can leave you feeling less than vibrant and lacking that healthy glow. It is a common skin concern that can be caused by various factors, including environmental conditions, aging, hormonal changes, and inadequate skincare routines. Understanding the types and underlying causes of dull dry skin is crucial in effectively addressing and improving its appearance.

Dull dry skin can be effectively addressed through various treatment procedures such as PRP Vampire facials, skin boosters, chemical peels, microneedling, and hydrafacials. Additionally, adopting a consistent skincare routine that focuses on hydration, gentle cleansing, exfoliation, and sun protection is key to achieving a healthier, more radiant complexion. Consult with a skincare professional to determine the best approach for your specific skin concerns and embark on a journey towards revitalized, glowing skin.

Types of Dull Dry Skin

Dehydrated Skin: Occurs when the skin lacks water, leading to tightness, flakiness, and a dull complexion.
Lackluster Skin: Characterized by a lack of radiance, often caused by poor circulation or buildup of dead skin cells.
Dry Skin: A skin type that produces insufficient natural oils, resulting in rough, tight, and flaky skin.

Skincare Tips for Dull Dry Skin

Hydrate: Drink plenty of water to keep your body and skin hydrated from within.
Moisturize: Use a rich, hydrating moisturizer to replenish lost moisture and improve skin texture.
Gentle Cleansing: Opt for mild, non-stripping cleansers that won’t further dry out your skin.
Exfoliate: Incorporate gentle exfoliation into your routine to remove dead skin cells and reveal brighter skin.
Sun Protection: Shield your skin from harmful UV rays by applying broad-spectrum sunscreen daily.

Frequently Asked
Questions

Have Questions? Get in touch

Why does skin dryness occur?

It occurs when the natural moisture barrier of the outer layer of the skin is disrupted. This leads to a loss of hydration and the penetration of irritants that can cause sensitivity and discomfort.

What is the area most commonly affected by dry skin?

It can occur anywhere, but the most commonly affected areas are the arms, legs and hands.

Can medications cause dry skin?

Yes – diuretics, antihistamines and retinoids are common culprits. If you’re concerned that your medication may be contributing to the condition of your skin, ask your doctor if you should make changes to your skin care routine.

What is the best way to clean dry, sensitive skin?

The best way to clean dry skin and prevent further irritation is by using a gentle moisturising cleanser free from harsh additives. To avoid further moisture loss and disruption to the skin’s protective barrier, gently cleanse your skin in lukewarm water with your hands or a soft wash cloth and pat to dry. Avoid rubbing and scrubbing.
