Tired, dull skin

What it is

Tired, grey skin is dull, dehydrated and uneven to the touch. It is often accompanied by visible pores, fine lines and a feeling of tightness, and make-up sits worse on it.

It is a condition that can usually be improved quickly. It is worth treating it, however, as a signal that the skin lacks water, renewal or protection.

Where it comes from

• Dehydration. Skin that lacks water loses elasticity and radiance.
• Slower renewal of the epidermis. Dead cells linger on the surface and dull the complexion.
• Stress, lack of sleep, cigarettes. They worsen circulation and the oxygenation of the skin.
• Pollution and smog. They settle on the skin and burden it every day.
• Unsuitable skincare. A lack of cleansing, hydration or SPF quickly shows on the face.

How to recognise it

• Dull, greyish complexion
• A feeling of tightness and dryness
• Blackheads and enlarged pores
• Make-up that covers worse

How we solve it

First we cleanse and oxygenate the skin: hydrogen cleansing and oxygen infusion remove impurities, hydrate and restore radiance. It is a good start both before an important event and after winter or the holidays.

Then we hydrate and nourish the skin from within: mesotherapy, biorevitalisation and platelet-rich plasma support its renewal and improve its elasticity. The choice of treatments depends on how deep the dehydration is.

Treatments that help

What you can do every day

• Keep the skin well hydrated and use moisturising cosmetics
• Introduce gentle active ingredients (e.g. vitamin C, lactobionic acid, gluconolactone or niacinamide); check the type and concentration with a cosmetologist

When to book a consultation

If the skin is dull despite good care, or new symptoms appear (itching, rash), book a consultation. Sometimes the cause is illness or deficiencies, and then diagnostics with a doctor are also needed.
