Skin looking dull, tired and just a little bit…. meh? We feel you! Studies show that with age, skin stem cells are less active and have a decreasing cellular function. Meaning? It can take longer for your skin to repair and replace damaged cells, resulting in a build-up of dead skin cells on the surface. The result? Dull skin – a common concern that can often exacerbate the signs of aging. Luckily, it’s easy to fix.
Below, we look at everything you need to know about ramping up your skin’s metabolism to remove dead skin cells - and the ingredients you need to help do it. Healthy, glowing skin – this way!
How to manage dull skin.
While we can’t exactly stop the natural aging process, there are certain things we can do in our skincare routine to help increase the skin’s renewal process, so it can behave in a younger manner. Enter: Brightening ingredients.
We recommend looking for certain ingredients to add into your skincare routine - such as stem cells, vitamin A, niacinamide and glycolic acid. Not only do these actives help enable your skin to regenerate damaged tissue and increase cellular function (important for radiance skin), but many come with additional benefits - such as helping to unclog pores and prevent the appearance of premature signs of aging.
What’s the best perfecting brightening cream to use?
Now for the important bit! If you’re looking for the best brightening cream to incorporate into your routine, Skin Virtue has got you sorted.
