Healthy skin usually has a bright glow, no matter your natural complexion. This glow is elusive for many people and many assume that you have to be covered in layers of makeup to attain it. But if you know how, attaining and maintaining a bright complexion with a healthy glow is easy.
First, understand that dullness in your skin is often caused by dead skin cells. If you don’t have a proper skincare routine to encourage fast cell turnover and exfoliate dead skin cells from the surface of your skin, your complexion can become lacklustre – which might lead to the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Dull skin can also be caused by other factors such as overexposure to the sun, pollution, poor lifestyle choices, stress, or medical conditions.
Unfortunately, many people turn to bleaching products to brighten their complexion. Prolonged use of such products is harmful to the skin – it can cause hyperpigmentation, redness and swelling, itching and flakiness, and long-term adverse health effects.
You don’t have to use skin-bleaching creams and lotions to have a bright complexion. You can brighten and lighten your complexion by undoing the darkening caused by factors such as lack of proper exfoliation, pollution, sun exposure and so on. Here is how:
Hydrate inside-out
The first tip towards brightening your skin is simple: drink up! Dehydration reduces the volume of blood flowing to your skin, making it look dull and lifeless. Taking enough fluids – either in food, drinks, or water – boosts all of your body’s operations. It makes the supply of nutrients and oxygen to the cells more efficient, which keeps all the organs – including your skin – functioning properly.
Being adequately hydrated also improves your skin elasticity, which delays the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Moreover, hydration helps your skin control oiliness as it doesn’t have to compensate for a lack of moisture. Read More…
