DULL SKIN NO MORE

Your skin deserves the world. Treat it as a gift and never take your youthful glow for granted.

Similar to your body needing food for fuel, your skin requires equal nourishment, care, and time. That desired healthy, natural appearance can often disappear without consistent routine, especially when the cooler months arrive and your skin loses that sun-kissed, summer glow you refuse to part ways with. Instead of accepting your dull winter skin as is, sit down in a comfortable space, relax, and create the skincare routine your face dreams of.

The face contains some of the most fragile skin on the body, so a gentle application is crucial to preserving your natural beauty. No skincare routine is complete without a cleansed face, as it sets the tone for any future product application. A beaming glow requires extra attention to the naturally high points of the face, such as your under eyes, cheekbones, and cupid's bow. To avoid a dull base, consider applying a renewal mask to polish and exfoliate any dull areas. In addition to a mask, skin peels can also help to reduce discoloration or dullness and offer immediate radiance to the skin’s natural barrier.

Whether kept natural or shaded with makeup, your eyes will always draw instant attention to your face, requiring constant care at any stage in life. The under-eye area can often become darkened or contain fine lines over time, so an illuminating eye cream is essential to any daily routine. Apply with a gentle touch and pat into the area without ever tugging on the eye. 

Moisturizers and serums of choice may be an obvious necessity in the prevention of dull skin, but it’s important to go a step further to effectively achieve a dewy, radiant base. This can be done with a liquid illuminator, worn either on its own or as a primer for face makeup. It can be applied all over, but be sure to focus this product on your cheekbones and the tip of the nose.

Dull skin can be a given with dry outside air, often expected but never desired. This is why product selection is key to preventing skin that leaves you looking tired or unenergized. Your look helps to tell your own personal story, so treat your routine as the necessary time for yourself. Believe me, your skin will thank you.
