Dull Skin

Symptoms

Dull skin is often described as skin that has lost its brightness and looks grey in appearance. As we age, this can become a common. Apart from the natural ageing process, other factors such as exposure to the sun and certain lifestyle choices such as smoking and poor diet can lead to tired-looking, dull skin.

The term ‘dull skin’ or ‘lacklustre skin’ usually refers to tired-looking, dry skin which has lost its natural glow. Pigmentation and wrinkles caused by sun damage can have this effect, causing the skin to lose its elasticity and fullness. Dehydrated skin can also look dull.
