Tips for dull skin in any season

All of us, at some point in our life, have suffered from dull and lifeless skin. Dull skin simply lacks the luminesce it is supposed to have. When your skin starts to look dull and flat and has acquired a greyish tint, it is time to look for a solution to bring it back to life. Maintaining a healthy-looking, fresh skin is a process that has to be followed rigorously. To help in combating dull skin, it is important to understand what causes it. 

What are the causes of dull skin?

There are several reasons why your skin could be looking dull but once you identify the cause for your dull skin, you can start working to improve dull skin.  

• A build-up of dead skin cells:

This is one of the most common reasons for your skin looking dull and lifeless. Your skin sheds dead cells continuously. Without proper washing and exfoliation, the dead skin cells tend to accumulate on top of the new skin and give your skin the flat and dull look along with the unpleasant looking greyish tint. This build-up of dead skin cells can also lead to other problems like clogged pores and acne. 

• Ageing:

  Another factor to consider while looking for causes for dull skin is ageing. As you grow, the skin on your body too matures. This leads to a slower regeneration of skin cells. Therefore, with age, people tend to lose their natural complexion colour. 

• Dehydration:

  Drinking water is one of the secrets to achieving healthy skin. However, the hydration your skin needs is two-fold. Drinking enough water to keep your body hydrated is one aspect. Lack of moisturizing is the other, which can lead to dull skin. Along with this, many people’s skin cannot hold the moisture which can also be a cause for severely dehydrated and dull-looking skin. Dehydration can also lead to other problems like premature signs of ageing and saggy skin.

• Pollution:

  Breathing in polluted air is bad enough, however, the pollutants present in the air also harm our skin. There are dirt and other chemicals caused due to burning of fossil fuels and other types of air pollution that settles on our skin and makes it look dull and flat. 

• Excess stress for a long period:

  While this may not be something that would be immediately visible if you are under stress, your skin starts to show what your body is feeling. Lack of sleep, proper diet, and exercise along with stress can be a major reason behind your dull and lifeless skin.

• Sun exposure:

  Most of us know that stepping into the sun without sunscreen is an absolute skincare disaster. However, even with sunscreen on, it is quite possible to deal with the negative side effects of being in the sun for a long period. The UV rays harm our skin and make it look dull. Exposure to the sun can also cause hyperpigmentation and spots on your face. 

What are some skin tips to overcome Dull Skin?

Every solution to treat dull skin depends upon the cause of the problem. If you can identify the reason, finding a solution becomes easier. Here are some tips to overcome dull skin:

Washing your face at night:

All of us wash our faces in the morning, but to have healthy skin, it is important to wash your face at night to remove all the dirt and pollution that has been accumulated on your skin. By doing this, you ensure that the foreign particles do not enter your skin and your skin can breathe and recuperate while you sleep.

You should give the Pilgrim Volcanic Lava Ash Face Wash with Yugdugu and White Lotus a try. This face wash helps in cleaning your skin and makes it pollution proof. The Volcanic Lava Ash deep cleans your pores and purifies your skin by penetrating your skin and pulling out all the dirt and excess sebum that has accumulated throughout the day. Yugdugu helps by soothing your skin and bringing back the glow on your face.

Along with this, the White Lotus present in the face wash helps in brightening your complexion and reducing signs of aging. Washing your face at night is even more important if you wear makeup during the day. Sleeping with makeup on could do serious damage to your skin. 

• Drink sufficient water throughout the day:

  Keep your body hydrated to get a healthy-looking skin. Make sure that you drink a glass of water every one to two hours. Keep a track of how much water you drink in a day and manage it according to your needs.

• Use products with Hyaluronic Acid:

  Hyaluronic Acid helps by hydrating your skin and locking the moisture in. Using it right after a moisturizer will lock in the hydration that it provides. 

• Exfoliation:

  Washing your face twice a day and exfoliating your skin at least two to three times a week is a crucial step to achieve brighter and healthy-looking skin. This is one of the best tips which will work for everyone. We recommend you use a mild exfoliating scrub such as the Pilgrim Volcanic Lava Ash Face Scrub with Yugdugu and White Lotus which helps in gently removing the dead skin cells while soothing your skin. It detoxifies and deep cleans your pores to give your skin a fresh look. Along with this, it also helps in removing blackheads and whiteheads from your skin. The Volcanic Lava Ash helps in de-tanning your skin and brings colour back into the skin. Yugdugu and White Lotus extracts help to restore the glow, reduces the appearance of dark spots, and helps in restoring natural moisture of the skin. 

Get enough sleep and control your stress levels:

By getting full eight hours of sleep at night and keeping your stress levels under control can make a huge difference in how your skin looks. Proper sleep and a calm mind are important to remove the dullness in your skin and bring back the rosy glow.
