“Glow Up: 5 Simple Fixes for Dull Skin”

1. Your Skin’s Asking for a Detox

Your liver and your skin are besties when it comes to detoxifying your body. If you’ve been indulging in rich foods, alcohol, or just not drinking enough water, your skin might be showing it. Start your day with a ginger shot (blitzed lemon and ginger) – it’s a wake-up call for your liver and gives your skin a energising boost from the inside out. 

2. Dead Skin Cells Are Overstaying Their Welcome

Skin naturally sheds dead cells, but sometimes they stick around longer than they should. This can block your natural glow, leaving you with a rough and with uneven texture. Regular exfoliation is key. Depending on your skin type, try an enzymatic exfoliant or a soft granular scrub 1–2 times a week. Overdoing it can irritate your skin, so find the right balance for you. 

3. Sleep Smarter, Not Harder

We’re not here to lecture you about hours of sleep (we all know life’s busy). Instead, focus on quality rest. Your skin does its heavy lifting at night, so why not give it some extra support? A sleeping mask after exfoliation locks in moisture and supports your skin’s recovery, leaving you with a well-rested glow come morning.

4. Stress: The Glow Pickpocket

Stress doesn’t just live in your head—it shows up on your face too. Elevated cortisol levels can lead to inflammation, breakouts, and dullness. Combat stress with simple rituals like deep breathing, stretching, or stepping outside for fresh air.

5. Neglecting Your Sun and Pollution Protection

Environmental damage is a silent contributor to dull skin. UV rays can cause pigmentation, while pollution clogs pores and weakens your skin barrier. Make SPF your non-negotiable and add a Vitamin C serum daily to help combat environmental damage. 

Other Glow-Bandits

– Diet: Too much sugar and processed food can dull your skin’s vibrance. Opt for fresh veggies, healthy fats, and whole foods to nourish from within.

– Over washing: Scrubbing your face too often or using active ingredient cleansers to often strips your natural oils, leaving your skin dry and tired-looking. Stick to gentle cleansers and avoid hot water. 

– Skipping Moisturiser: All skin types—yes, even oily skin—need hydration. Without it, your complexion can look flat and lifeless.

Take your glow back

Getting your glow back isn’t about overhauling your life—it’s about small, consistent changes. Hydrate, exfoliating wisely, protecting and feeding your skin with the nutrients it craves and managing stress can work wonders. Add a bit of love with products that work with your skin’s natural balance, and remember glowing skin isn’t just a goal, it’s a lifestyle.
