How to rejuvenate and get rid of Dull Skin?

In Ayurveda, some of the natural brightening and rejuvenating ingredients are known as Varnya herbs or radiance enhancing herbs. These herbs work on balancing Pitta dosha, which is responsible for the manifestation of color in our upper layer of the skin (known as Avabhasini in Ayurveda). Rich in phytochemicals, these herbs have the property of providing nutrients necessary for healthy skin, toning it, and working as complexion enhancers.

Exfoliate & Masque: It is imperative to get rid of any dead skin cells that accumulate on your skin. When we fail to do so, the result is often an ashy, unevenly textured layer that dulls down the skin’s natural complexion. Exfoliators and leave-on masques are some of the best dull skin treatments as they clear off this layer of dead skin to unveil a newer, brighter skin layer. Bestow your skin with the glow that it deserves by gently exfoliating and regularly masking as a part of your weekly regime.

Moisturise: Dryness is the most common cause of skin dullness. Dry skin causes a build-up of dead skin cells which promotes dull skin, making the complexion uneven. Hence, it is of utmost importance to follow a brightening and moisturising skincare ritual that fosters proper hydration and nourishment for it to revel in its lustrous glow. It is also imperative to inculcate a broad-spectrum sunblock into your skincare for dull skin to fully protect and fight the chances of skin damage.
