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

Throughout the day, pollution particles, impurities, and toxins accumulate on the skin's surface. They make the epidermis more vulnerable and alter the skin's permeability, which is essential for proper oxygenation. As a result, the skin's microbiome becomes unbalanced. As a result, sebum production increases and the skin's antioxidant levels decrease.

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.

2. A boosting scrub once or twice a week

After the essential cleansing and makeup removal step, you can exfoliate once or twice a week. A lethal weapon for saying goodbye to a dull complexion, exfoliation allows you to renew your skin. This isn't about stripping the skin; rather, it's about gently removing dead cells and stubborn excess sebum that clog pores and give skin that unflattering gray tint.

Go gentle and effective. The Radiance Micro Exfoliating Essence contains fruit enzymes that gently break the bonds between dead cells to detach them from healthy skin. It stimulates cell renewal for a refined skin texture and a radiant complexion. A true vitamin cocktail based on superfruit extracts, this facial exfoliant guarantees immediate results against dullness.

3. A radiance-boosting moisturizing treatment

The skin is made up of several internal layers: the epidermis, covered by the hydrolipidic film, the dermis and the hypodermis. The latter acts as a shield to protect the tissues from the outside world and its potential aggressions. The hydrolipidic film allows the skin to maintain its radiance, but it is fragile and easily becomes unbalanced. To maintain its proper functioning, it needs to be regularly nourished and hydrated. Guaranteeing luminous and radiant skin, My Payot skincare products are enriched with organic goji berry, organic pomegranate and acai berry extracts, as well as vitamin C. The Vitamin Serum, the Vitamin Day Cream and the Radiance Sleeping Mask provide the skin with its daily dose of energy and hydration!

As a bonus, the hydration step can be accompanied by the Payot® Smooth & Glow Beauty Gym, co-created with facial yoga teacher Sylvie Lefranc. This unique exercise has been specially designed to complement the application of your day or night cream and maximize the effectiveness of the active ingredients. A quick and easy self-massage technique to perform at home, the Smooth & Glow Gesture drains, detoxifies, and oxygenates the skin to reveal its radiance.
