Skin Dullness and Uneven Texture

Posted By Edge
Dull skin is one of the most frustrating skin conditions to deal with. It doesn't look good, it feels rough and dry, and it doesn't get better quickly. Dullness can be caused by a number of factors including diet, lifestyle habits like smoking or alcohol consumption, and environmental issues like pollution, or lack of sunlight exposure.


Causes of Skin Dullness & Uneven Texture
The causes of dullness and uneven texture are many, but here are some common factors:

  • Age: As you age, the outer layer of your skin (stratum corneum) becomes less able to hold moisture and begins to thin. This makes it more vulnerable to damage from UV rays, pollution, and other environmental factors. The upper layer of your epidermis also loses its ability to produce new cells as quickly as it once did. This can cause dryness and lead to wrinkles or saggy skin over time.
  • Sun damage & genetics: Exposure to UV radiation from sunlight causes photoaging—a kind of premature aging that gives you wrinkles, age spots, discoloration (especially on the face), enlarged pores (blackheads), and rough texture with little flexion motion in the skin around these areas due to losing elasticity.*

In addition: hormonal changes; stress; diet; dehydration/inflammation; lack of sleep/poor nutrition/smoking all impact this process as well! While they can be due to a number of factors, they're also usually caused by a buildup of dead skin cells on the surface of your face.


Good skincare habits can help you achieve radiant skin.
The first step to achieving a glowing complexion is to make sure that your skin is taking in the nutrients it needs. The best way to do this is by eating foods rich in antioxidants such as blueberries and spinach, which can help protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals. Drinking at least eight glasses of water each day will also help keep your body hydrated, which means that any toxins released by stress or environmental factors will be flushed out more quickly.

However, even if you're eating well and drinking enough water every day, there are still some things you can do to improve the appearance of your skin.

We know how frustrating it can be to live with dullness and uneven texture, but there are many ways to treat the problem. We suggest starting by identifying one or two causes of your skin issues—and then taking care of them!
