That lit-from-within glow isn’t just luck or good genes. It’s the result of skin that’s hydrated, healthy and turning over properly.
If your skin has lost its radiance, there’s a reason for it. At Shine Skin and Body in Richmond, we find out what that reason is and fix it.
Dullness is rarely just one thing. Here are the most common causes we see:
Dehydration Not the same as dryness. Dehydrated skin lacks water, not oil, and it can affect any skin type including oily skin. It shows up as flatness, fine lines that look worse than they should, and skin that just doesn’t bounce back.
Slow cell turnover Skin naturally renews itself every 28 days or so, but this slows as we age, and can also be affected by stress and lifestyle. When dead skin cells build up on the surface, they scatter light instead of reflecting it, creating that flat, grey look.
Poor circulation Oxygen and nutrients reach your skin through blood flow. Stress, a sedentary lifestyle, smoking and alcohol all reduce circulation, and it shows. Skin that isn’t getting enough oxygen looks dull, flat and lifeless.
The wrong skincare routine This surprises a lot of people. Products that don’t suit your skin type, too many actives layered together, or a compromised skin barrier can all contribute to dullness. Sometimes stripping things back is the fastest path to brighter skin.
