How To Address A Dull Skin?
In the skin sector, dullness refers to the portion of skin which is lacking radiance or we can say an ineptitude to reflect the light in the way healthy skin does.
This also happens due to an uneven skin texture, as it is less able to reflect smoothness as effortlessly as uniform skin. Rough or we can say uneven skin can result in several skin problems such as the building of dead skin cells, acne, and even dryness.

The elements such as dirt and sulfur dioxide in the air create free radicals (unstable molecules causing cell damage) on the skin layer causing unfavorable effects including collagen damage, stimulating pigment production, and skin complexion to look tired.
Lack of Sleep
It makes your skin imbalanced in just a few nights of bad sleep! Inadequate sleep triggers the primary stress hormone affecting the inflammation and breaking down of proteins which are essential to keep your skin smooth and glowing.
This inflammation can also result in making skin more prostrate to acne and sensitive to allergic reactions. More wrinkles, fine lines, and also droopy mouth corners can be caused due to disturbed sleep schedules.
Dehydration
Especially in dry climates; hot summers and too-cold winters. If your skin lacks water, the moisturizer under the skin layers will get reduced making its texture look uneven and dull.
Itchy skin is also a cause of dehydration, which affects your overall skin tone, driving wrinkles and fine lines noticeable even at young ages.
