All epidermis can be affected by a problem of dull skin. Several factors are involved:food (too fatty or too acidic), stress, UV rays and especially tobacco (nicotine causes vasoconstriction which decreases blood flow, and therefore the amount of oxygen brought to the cells) .
We think that a dull complexion is dehydrated, so we tend to take rich care, when the epidermis does not need it. Worse, by feeding it too much, you risk making it shine, but shiny skin reflects the light less well...
To bring radiance to the skin, opt for treatments rich in antioxidant active ingredients (vitamin A, C and E, glycolic and salicylic acids, coenzyme Q10, etc.) which counter the free radicals that dull the complexion. We adapt the texture as needed.
We boost the effect of the treatment with an antioxidant serum. Good too, the enzymatic exfoliation to get rid of dead cells that blur the complexion (every 2 or 3 days). After the cream, we think of the UV filter, also an antioxidant.
