How to get rid of a dull complexion?

This month, the spotlight is on facial skin. We all want to keep that face rested and radiance of summer and say goodbye to the dull, blotchy and lackluster complexion that undermines our morale at the same time as the complexion.

Causes of a dull, lackluster complexion

(Too) Long sun exposure

The reasons for a radiant complexion are linked to the care we give it but also to the first rays of the sun when it caresses the face and raises our melanin, this same sun is also responsible for a messy and sometimes dull complexion. . Using this good old Monsieur Soleil without abusing it should be our motto.

The skin suffers without sun but too much sun is also not ideal for it. Sun damage causes collagen to weaken. Hence, sagging and dulling of the skin.

Protect your skin by using a hat, cap and especially avoiding the hottest hours. At Les Sens de Marrakech, we prefer to protect the skin mechanically (with hats, clothes, etc.) than to use sunscreens that we consider harmful for the skin and nature. But that could be part of another article as there are many things to say on this subject….

Stress, stress, stress everywhere

The causes of stress are multiple, and the first indicator of this stress is the skin. The state of happiness or stress is immediately noticeable on the face. The level of cortisol (among other hormones) increases and it causes the skin color of the face to turn green, see gray.

To fight against stress, adopt the motto that "Nothing is ever as black as you think, nor as pink, as the truth of the situation is undoubtedly in the middle of these colors" then take a good hot bath at home. Burn scented candles to relax the body as much as possible. Both will help relax the muscles and calm the nerves.

Water is life

And yes, what enters the system influences the skin. In addition to consuming more vegetables and fewer processed foods, water should also be a big part of our daily diet.
On average, it would take 2.7 liters of water per day for women and 3 .7 liters for men. Drink it before you even feel thirsty.

Inappropriate cosmetic product

Each skin has its own type and specific needs. An inappropriate cosmetic product can damage it and therefore create stains and an aspect lacking in life.

Even if a cream is effective for this or that person, it does not necessarily mean that it will work for you.

To choose your cosmetic product, we suggest that you first choose according to your skin type and for this it is necessary to know it well, then choose those that are non-comedogenic and based on ingredients of natural origin. (Also read “How to recognize effective beauty products? )

What routine should you adopt to correct a dull complexion?

If after reading the above, you now want to start from scratch and adopt a new skin routine, here is what Les Sens de Marrakech has to offer:

Go to the hammam regularly

To obtain a luminous, flawless complexion , use this exfoliating mask scrub before the hammam . It contains argan grains as well as argan oil with date extract. As a result, the face is radiant, the skin texture refined. As soon as you have removed it, enter your hammam or if necessary under a hot shower.

Not only does a hot shower or hammam relax the mind (and this is absolutely essential for regaining radiant skin) but it also opens the pores to deeply cleanse the skin.

For the body, use the marrakech black soap in parallel with the kessa glove .

The circular massage movements, the hot water and the atmosphere of the place will help you let go.

Result of the treatment in the shower or the hammam with these flagship products? A rested body and deeply cleansed skin. The best combination to regain all its radiance.

Remove make-up every day

As mentioned in our article how to remove makeup properly , you can use either a cleansing milk or micellar water .

The most important and absolutely essential thing is that the skin be rid of all traces of impurities, even the most invisible, before going to bed.

At night, when the skin rests, it renews itself. This is her moment when she regains her strength. This work of renewal is facilitated when it is clean. You can even put a little prickly pear oil or argan oil in it to nourish and soothe it. You just have to make sure to clean it well when you wake up and put your adequate day cream on it.

Thus, to find your radiant skin, no need for exceptional elements. Just simple and natural routines.
