Causes of dull, lackluster skin:
– Dehydration: Lack of water intake, not meeting the body’s needs, or insufficient moisturization can result in dry skin.
– Lack of sleep: Staying up late, not getting enough sleep, often manifests in the skin, such as dark circles under the eyes, wrinkles on the skin…
– Inappropriate diet: Consuming processed foods, fast food, deep-fried foods, snacks… can contribute to a dull, lackluster complexion.
5 ways to maintain youthful skin:
Cleanse your skin properly
When cleansing, it is best to choose a gentle facial cleanser with a neutral pH that suits your skin type. Cleanse your skin after waking up, before going to bed, and after sweating. Use warm water to wash your face and gently pat dry with a clean towel
Exfoliate regularly
Exfoliating your skin weekly will result in a brighter complexion. This also helps the skin absorb skincare products more easily.
You should exfoliate 1-2 times a week. You can try chemical exfoliants with AHA (alpha-hydroxy acids).
Moisturize your skin daily to keep it smooth and supple
Apply moisturizer immediately after cleansing your face to maintain moisture. Choose a moisturizer that suits your skin type. If you have oily skin, you can opt for a gel moisturizer that is lightweight, non-greasy.
Apply sunscreen, limit sun exposure
Apply sunscreen daily, both when going outside or staying indoors, to protect your skin. Prioritize broad-spectrum sunscreens with SPF 30 or higher and suitable for your skin type. Remember to apply sunscreen evenly on exposed areas, such as the neck and around the eyes.
Maintain a healthy lifestyle
Avoid consuming sugary foods, salty foods, saturated fats, and enhance your intake of fresh fruits, vegetables, especially berries like strawberries, blueberries, kiwis,.., whole grains, lean protein.
Drink plenty of water: Prioritize sugar-free beverages to promote continuous skin regeneration and maintain a supple, rosy complexion.
Get enough sleep, manage stress levels, streamline your to-do list, and make time for activities you enjoy. Additionally, you can go for walks, practice yoga, and meditate…
