How to revive Dull Skin

We all have those mornings when we look in the mirror and instinctively know something is not quite right with our skin. For most of us, these moments are probably the result of dull skin. A dull or lackluster complexion is usually a result of the build-up of dead skin cells. This build-up causes skin to scatter light instead of evenly reflecting it, resulting in a loss of radiance. Here are a few ways to get your skin back to a glowing and radiant state:

Cleanse and Exfoliate
Use a skin-cleansing brush to slough away dead skin cells. Pair the brush with an exfoliating cleanser to enhance the brightening results.
Try an at-home abhyanga massage once or twice a week (on non-consecutive days).

Moisturize and apply Serum
Moisturize and use a serum twice a day, morning and evening, to keep skin well hydrated. Choose a moisturizer and serum that contains healing ingredients, which repair skin cells.
Use an SPF in the morning. Remember that sun damage is cumulative, resulting in dull-looking skin over time.

Amp Up Your Healthy Lifestyle
Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated from the inside out.
Exercise regularly. Whenever you get your heart rate pumping, your skin reaps the benefits. Walking, jogging, cycling and yoga all improve circulation and give you that lit-from-within glow.
Get your beauty sleep. Eight hours of sleep a night gives skin time to repair itself. You will wake up with a brighter, healthier looking complexion.
