Understand where dull complexion comes from?
Dull complexion, this grayish veil which darkens our face and makes us look tired or even sick, results from a loss of radiance of the skin. It manifests itself by pigmentary irregularities and excess dead cells that accumulate on the surface of the skin. The result ? A bland color, a grayish complexion, devoid of light and vitality.
Several factors can be at the origin of this phenomenon: stress, fatigue, lack of sleep, an unbalanced diet , dehydration , pollution , the tobacco , poor circulation, hormonal imbalance, poorly adapted beauty routine and other lifestyle habits that are harmful to your skin. All these elements have a direct impact on the quality of the skin which often reflects our general state of health such as a disturbed digestive system, severe fatigue, etc.

The influence of lifestyle on your complexion
The adage “We are what we eat.” » has never been so true, especially when we talk about the quest for a radiant complexion. To regain radiant skin, it is imperative to adopt a balanced diet , rich in vitamins and minerals because our diet has a direct influence on the appearance of our complexion.
Indeed, a diet too rich in sugars or fats leads to the accumulation of numerous toxins and waste in the body. In this process, our elimination organs, notably our intestines, our liver and our skin, act in synergy to create a natural filter. This overload mobilizes them to the maximum, thus leaving our skin dull, sporting an olive complexion, and displaying a tired appearance, dotted with imperfections or irregularities.
To display a luminous and revitalized complexion, there is nothing like favor a rich, varied and balanced diet . THE vitamins A, C and E as well as minerals such as selenium and the zinc , are essential allies in this quest. It is therefore strongly recommended to favor the consumption of fruits and vegetables with red and orange hues, rich in beta-carotene, as well as green vegetables full of fiber which play a detoxifying role on the body. Favor it consumption of essential fatty acids rich in omega-3 and 6 with linseed oil, rapeseed oil, or small fatty fish like sardines or mackerel: real nutritional gems to integrate into your daily diet.
And especially, hydrate yourself ! Whatever your skin type, drinking at least 1.5L of water per day is essential. This daily hydration stimulates the radiance and suppleness of the skin. See each sip of water as an elixir of freshness contributing to a radiant complexion!
Also give up your bad daily habits, by limiting tobacco, alcohol, coffee, stress and prolonged exposure to the sun. Choose regular sleep and go to bed before 11 p.m. for a healthy, balanced lifestyle and a luminous complexion as soon as you wake up!
