Is your face lacking radiance? Are you looking dull? While there are many causes of dull skin, Payot has its tricks for getting out of the dullness and restoring your face's natural radiance.
What makes my skin dull?
Our lifestyles can alter the radiance of our skin. Pollution, UV rays, stress, lack of sleep, and poor diet—among others—create free radicals. A free radical is a molecule with an odd number of electrons, making it unstable. It then constantly tries to recover or donate an electron to other molecules around it, thus triggering a chain reaction called oxidative stress. In the skin, free radicals modify the DNA of skin cells and damage them. The barrier function of the epidermis is unbalanced, it fights less effectively against external aggressions, and deteriorates more quickly.
Fortunately, the body has a defense system against free radicals: antioxidants. However, these are quickly overwhelmed when there are too many free radicals. The skin then loses its radiance, the complexion dulls, and the quality of the skin deteriorates.
How do I take care of my dull skin?
First and foremost, a healthy lifestyle is a crucial first step in combating a dull, tired complexion. Adopting a regular sleep schedule and a balanced diet are excellent places to start. On the beauty front, to turn things around, turn to radiance-boosting treatments to help your skin reflect light again.
1. Proper daily cleaning
To give your skin a breath of fresh air and reveal its natural radiance, it's best to opt for a two-step makeup removal routine, as offered by our Nue makeup removal range. First, our makeup-removing and depolluting treatments with innovative micellar formulas gently cleanse the skin and rid it of all the impurities accumulated on its surface. Then, our toning and oxygenating treatments invigorate the skin. This new dual-action makeup removal ritual perfectly prepares your skin for its care.
