10 anti-dull complexion tips

The causes of dull complexion

Pollution, UV rays, stress, lack of sleep, lack of hydration or even a poor diet can create what we call free radicals >.

 

A free radical is a molecule that modifies the DNA of skin cells and damages them. Therefore, the barrier function of the epidermis becomes unbalanced: the skin fights less well against external aggressions and is damaged more quickly.

 

The good news is that the body has a defense system against free radicals: antioxidants. But when free radicals are in excess, the skin loses its radiance and the complexion becomes dull.
