What makes skin look dull?

Dullness is typically the result of a sluggish skin renewal cycle. When dead skin cells build up on the surface, light doesn’t reflect as evenly — leaving your complexion looking flat and tired. This effect is often intensified by: Dehydration Lack of exfoliation Stress or poor sleep Sun exposure causing uneven skin texture Nutrient deficiencies, especially vitamins A, C, and E

What causes dry skin?

Dry skin occurs when the skin doesn’t produce enough natural oils or lacks sufficient water content. This can be triggered by: Environmental factors such as cold weather, wind, or low humidity Over-cleansing or the use of harsh skincare products that strip natural oils Hot showers or prolonged water exposure Ageing, which slows oil production and reduces water retention Medical conditions, like eczema or hypothyroidism

Why Your Skin Might Be Lacking Moisture and Radiance

Dry and dull skin is more than just a cosmetic concern — it’s often your body’s way of signalling that your skin barrier needs support. When skin feels rough, tight, or flaky, or appears greyish and lacklustre, it usually indicates an imbalance in hydration and a disruption in natural cell renewal.

Healthy skin maintains a delicate balance between oil and water, held together by a strong skin barrier (stratum corneum). This outer layer is made up of cells and lipids (fats) that keep moisture in and environmental aggressors out. When compromised, it can no longer retain water effectively, leading to trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL) — and that dry, tight sensation many people experience.

Left unaddressed, dry and dull skin can become more prone to sensitivity, irritation, and premature signs of ageing.

How soon can I expect to see results?
Depending on the treatment, many clients begin to notice improvements within a few weeks. While glow and smoothness can appear sooner, cumulative benefits like firmness and hydration improve with time and consistency.
