Condition
Dull Dry Skin
What is dull / dry skin?
Dull / dry skin is often determined by the look and feel of the complexion. When the skin becomes dry it can often feel rough, which also leads to an appearance that seems to have lost its radiant glow. This concern is common among adults and can affect both men and women, more often as they get older.
What are the causes?
Dull / dry skin can often develop through the natural processes of ageing, as the skin’s hydration levels start to decline. Along with collagen and elastin, the production of hyaluronic acid also decreases, mainly due to the lower levels of collagen. Lifestyle and environmental factors, such as: sun exposure, smoking, cold weather, hot weather, windy conditions and central heating can contribute to a dry appearance, as these situations can draw essential moisture from the skin.
When the skin is dry, it can affect the way in which it naturally replenishes itself and removes old skin cells from the surface. When dead skin cells remain, light is deflected from the superficial layer of the dermis, therefore appearing as lifeless and dull.
