- Radiance is like the Holy Grail we're all looking for, with an even complexion and healthy, luminous skin at the top of our beauty fixture list. But sometimes small pigmentation spotsor a dull, blotchy complexion. How do you get a radiant complexion ? This guide will give you all the beauty tips you need for beautiful, glowing, well-moisturized skin.
How do you recognize dull, lacklustre skin?
It can be recognized by its lack of uniformity: the complexion appears dull, blurred, almost a little grey. Occasionally, darker, more pigmented spots appear on areas of the face.
As soon as we're exposed to the sun, under the effects of UV rays, these spots can darken and become even more numerous. The skin looks as if it has lost its radiance, and we dream of a more even, transparent complexion...
What causes a dull complexion?
- Your make-up removal and cleansing routine may not be up to scratch. A quick wipe with make-up remover wipes or micellar water does not perfectly remove all small impurities. Polluted in this way, the skin can't breathe properly, and over time can become clogged, leading to the appearance of imperfections.
- A lack of exfoliation may also be to blame. Exfoliating your skin gives it a new look, banishing dullness by eliminating all dead cells.
- The final factor may be the appearance of brown spots, which give the complexion that uneven look. When all goes well, melanocytes (the cells that produce melanin, the skin pigment) work in moderation, releasing this parasol molecule only when our skin needs reinforced protection. But these highly susceptible cells quickly get carried away. The slightest upheaval (hormonal variations, post-healing, too much sun exposure) leads to anarchy and they work too hard: spots appear in these overzealous areas.
How can you get rid of dull skin and regain a radiant complexion?
Cleanse your skin thoroughly to eliminate impurities
The double cleansing is ideal for all skin types and is particularly recommended for boosting radiance: it's the most effective and gentle cleansing method. As an added bonus, it's also a formidable ally against skin aging. A well-cleansed skin is better oxygenated and benefits from its skincare routine. By meticulously cleansing your face every evening, you prepare your skin to receive specific treatments. It's the most important step in any skincare routine!
I start with a cleansing oil or balm This first product will emulsify all the fatty substances present on the skin's surface, such as sebum, pollution and make-up (including waterproof mascara!). This is the most delicate way of eliminating impurities accumulated during the day, without irritating the skin. Little by little, this helps to restore clear skin, tighten pores and reduce skin problems. What's more, the oily texture will also begin to moisturize the skin and bring it comfort. A good thing if you have dry skin. But rest assured, the use of a cleansing oil can also gently regulate combination skin by gently eliminating shine.
In the second step, to refine the result and cleanse deeply, follow the oil or balm with a gentle cleansing milk or gel. milk or gel cleanser. Moisturizing and comfortable, milks cleanse perfectly without aggressing skin prone to tightness, while soap-free gels bring a sensation of purity to skin in search of freshness. The trick? Cleanse the skin with a formula that contains enzymes or fruit acids to gently exfoliate for immediate results on complexion radiance.
Use an exfoliator to restore a radiant complexion
ExfoliationExfoliation is the ultimate "beautiful skin" gesture (provided it's gentle and doesn't cause irritation)! By eliminating excess dead cells, facial exfoliation optimizes the penetration of active ingredients, making skin softer and more radiant, while combating minor imperfections (spots, pimples, dilated pores). It's also a fantastic step in anti-wrinkle prevention: by promoting cell regeneration, exfoliation preserves tissue elasticity and firmness.
Plant oils for a radiant complexion
Finally, we finish our routine by protecting our skin with a care oil adapted to the needs of skin lacking radiance. L'care oilwhether used as a serum or on its own, helps maintain moisture levels in normal skin, while regulating shine. Rich in essential fatty acids and nutrients, it provides comfort and combats dehydration by smoothing fine lines. As an added bonus, it also provides skin with the oil it needs to stop producing excess sebum. What's more, it leaves a lovely veil of glowy "on the skin!
Our tips for a dull complexion
To maximize results, I add a few well-chosen specific gestures to my routine. Vitamin treatments, radiance masks, facial moisturizers, sun protection... I pick and choose from these adapted and targeted treatments to offer myself the most complete routine for a perfect, luminous complexion.
DOs for a radiant complexion
- Rely on sun protection on a daily basis to prevent brown spots, but also to prevent existing ones from darkening.
- Resuming an anti-spot routine Every autumn is the right time to calm the melanocyte and get it back on track.
- Focus on regularity and duration: stains are a complicated problem to solve, and it takes at least 6 to 8 weeks of consecutive treatments to see results.
DON'Ts for a dull complexion
- In the morning, apply powerful exfoliating products based on retinol or glycolic acid. To avoid any risk of photosensitization, they are best used in the evening.
- Forget about self-tanner which, contrary to popular belief, makes spots stand out...
- Put on lots of perfume before exposure. Don't forget that melanocytes are the most fragile cells and that certain substances don't mix well with the sun.
- Think that a pigment spot can disappear completely. If it's very recent, it can. But in most cases, a suitable cosmetic routine will lighten it, but not completely remove it.
