Dull, Tired-Looking Skin
Dullness is usually several small things at once — surface build-up, dehydration, uneven tone and city pollution — rather than one condition. That is why single products rarely shift it and why the fix is usually a routine plus a session, not one or the other.
What people usually notice
- Skin that photographs flat in daylight
- Makeup that sits on top rather than blending in
- A grey or sallow cast, especially by evening
- Rough texture you can feel more than see
What commonly contributes
- Build-up of dead surface cells
- Dehydration, which is not the same as dry skin
- Pollution and commute exposure
- Sleep, stress and hydration, which do genuinely show
This page describes what is common, not what is true of you. Only an examination can say which of these applies.
What a doctor may consider
Which of these suits you — and whether any of them is needed at all — is decided at the consultation, not from this page.
What the consultation settles
If your dullness is really pigmentation or dehydration, the consultation will say so and point you somewhere cheaper than a course of facials.
