Dull n dry face

Hey NW!

I’ve been having the same problem this winter! In the last week or so I’ve added a new richer moisturiser to my routine (Environ’s Super Moisturiser) and I’ve been really surprised by the results. My skin looks plumper and smoother. My skin had started to peel it was so dry.

I usually drink a lot of water a day, so that in conjunction with the new moisturiser has really been doing wonders!

I think it’s winter. It plays havoc on my skin too. I would suggest drinking more water, exfoliating and if you don’t use one already, add an oil or serum into your skin care routine. Also hydraluronic acid is fantastic. I currently use one by The Ordinary and layer it under moisturiser but there are other brands such as Indeed Labratories.

Hi nw,

As mentioned by some of the other beauties I wouldn’t see a dermatologist. Try more water and definitely diet would have a big factor, if you’re having alot of caffeine for example? And exfoliate. Try that first and then if no change maybe see a dermatologist? Good luck.

Hey,

I am 26 and my skin was so dull and always breaking out, I couldn’t catch a break!

Dull skin and breakouts have the same root cause that you need to address. A built up of dead skin cells and dry skin.

I started getting microdermabrasion and a peel every 3 weeks and the results have been amazing, the micrderm will get the dead skin off, it turn it’ll unclog your pores which would be causing the breakouts, I always follow up with a mask, sometimes I do one that targets breakouts and sometimes to rehydrate my skin, your skin therapist should be able to let you know what peel would be best for you.

I now get this done every 4-6 weeks as my skin is now in great condition, brighter and I get far less breakouts.

I would also recommended looking into neostrata products, my dermatologist recommended these to me and they are great, they target the inbetween skin “the I am breaking out but worried about wrinkles skin”

Good look and I hope this help

Definately drink more water. I use a gently exfoliator a few times a week and a face mask which helps. Exercise also helps increase circulation and give your skin a natural looking glow.

Looking forward to reading the review on Racinne. Sounds good.

I also agree with drinking water. I drink warm water in the winter time instead of too many coffees. Used to it now and am sure it does help my skin.

Are you drinking enough water and getting enough sleep?

Hormonal changes can also make skin dry and dull.

I am in my 30s as well, and I have a skincare regimen that I follow religiously. Cleanse, tone, serum, facial oil and moisturiser.

NW I think the dullness could be more of nutritional sense and I am sure your GP can help you . My sister in law had to see a dermatologist because she had severe dermatitis and they are dear because they are specialists. Also I find using a good cleanser/moisturiser might help. I was lucky to win the Racinne skincare set here and I am really curious if this brightening will help as I have dry skin with some blemishes on my cheeks which could be age or hormonal related. Just remember if you do use these products , keep out of the sun as it may do you more harm from what I have been told . Yes , heaps of water too ! Good luck

Hi @NW!

I guess it depends on the person on whether they want to visit a dermatologist.

I’ve been going through a rough patch with my skin this month. I was tempted to go to a dermatologist but it’s just too expensive at times. I’ve decided to try out home remedies and going organic when it comes to eating.

My diet has been really bad for a while. I had to do a complete 360 on my diet and change up my routine! I’ve been eating more greens and fruits everyday at work. It’s honestly helped my with my hormonal breakouts.

I’ve also started taking SWISSE Ultiboost High Strength Organic Spirulina tablets during days I don’t eat enough veges. Plus, drinking more water helps with freshening your skin!

Also, a low stress level will help with looking and feeling young! I’ve been doing yoga and meditation at work to calm myself and it’s absolutely amazing!
