Dullness
Dull skin is usually a buildup of dead cells scattering light instead of reflecting it. Exfoliating facials and oxygen treatments bring back glow in one visit; at home, vitamin C in the morning and a gentle acid at night keep skin bright.
What causes it
Dead skin cells that should shed naturally linger on the surface, unevenly. Dehydration, poor sleep, pollution and slowed cell turnover with age all make the surface rougher and less reflective.

Common questions
What is the fastest way to fix dull skin?
A professional exfoliating treatment such as the Fire and Ice Facial resurfaces the skin in one visit, which is why it is a red-carpet standby.
Why does my skin look dull even after moisturizing?
Moisturizer hydrates but does not remove the layer of dead cells on top. Add a gentle exfoliant two to three times a week and glow returns.
Is vitamin C good for dull skin?
Yes. Vitamin C brightens, evens tone and protects against the pollution that makes skin look tired. Use it in the morning under sunscreen.
How often can I exfoliate?
Two to three times a week for most skin. Daily exfoliation thins the barrier and paradoxically makes skin look worse.
