Why does dull skin look "dull"?
Dull skin arises when the surface of our skin is uneven and littered with dead skin cells and debris.
In order for your skin to be "not dull", the skin needs to be "radiant". Radiant skin is skin that has a smooth surface texture and without any dead stuck down skin cells.
This "radiance" is no difference from the bright and reflective surfaces that we see on mirrors and glass. The skin behaves the same way too – smooth skin reflects light better than rough skin, and hence smooth skin is always "radiant".
What can be done to improve dull skin?
Several things need to be sorted out:
We need to get you on a good prescription product that contains active ingredients like Tretinion which will help
normalize your skin cell turnover, or the so-called cell regulatory cycle. A well regulated cell cycle ensures that
there is minimal dead skin cells stuck on your skin surface and in your pores.
We also need you to be on a good home care range that is non comedogenic (does not cause pimples), and
with minimal fragrance/colouring/preservatives. A good skin care range will go a long way in allowing the strong prescription creams to exert their effects, while minimizing the discomfort that may come from these stronger creams.
We will then perform procedures like ART Vita-C, Silkpeel dermal-infusion, laser rejuvenation, or laser resurfacing
to further improve the skin's radiance.
