1. Anti-Aging Treatments –Brightening a Dull Complexion
Anybody with dull skin, no matter how pretty the face, will always appear haggard, tired
and old. Dull skin has many different causes and not much of them are attributed to
heredity. Lifestyle, diet, habits and the misuse and unsupervised application of anti-aging
treatments are few of the causes. Of course there is also the issue of the genes but if we
discount that for the moment, here are the following anti-aging treatments that address dull
skin.
The Causes
While aging causes skin to dull that is mainly due to the skins slowing regenerative
process, dull skin is also caused by fatigue and stress. Just as often the lack of vitamins and
other essential nutrients, drinking alcohol, smoking, exposure extreme temperatures,
frequent sun and wind exposure, slow blood circulation and sickness causes dull skin
complexion.
The anti-aging treatments to livelier skin
Drink plenty of liquids. The body is composed largely of water. It expels plenty of them
every day and consequently needs a lot to keep it working properly. Plenty of water and
juices will keep the body hydrated. Sometimes, sweating alone could lively up the skin.
Food choices. Foods that are rich in amino and other fatty acids like berries and nuts help
restore the glow to the skin. Sometimes though this is the instance when you could use
fatty foods, dull skin complexion is also a sign of the body's deficiency in fats and oils.
Moisturize. Applying make-up before moisturizing the skin will ultimately result in dull
complexion. Applying a make-up that is yellow based only make matters worse. Avoid
them.
Exercise. There is no better way to make the skin lively than to conduct a more lively life.
Sweating cleanses the pores and removes trapped dirt and even old skin. Exercise also
excites the oil glands in the skin. When the oil from the body is moved out to the outer skin
layers, it will coat the skin rejuvenating it and making it healthier.
Exfoliate. Our skin is replenished yearly but why wait that long. Exfoliating twice a week
does the job well. Not exfoliating regularly is allowing the skin to accumulate the dead and
dying cells in its surface dulling the skin. Not exfoliating regularly causes pores to be
plugged by old oils in the skin that may already have accumulated enough dirt; ultimately,
this will lead to black heads and unsightly unevenness of skin texture not to mention an
unhealthy pallor.
Massages. Massaging the skin improves blood circulation. Facial muscles benefit much
from this. Massaging the face with facial creams and massaging oils will improve the skin
color, improve unsightly fleshiness, and will tighten the tissues and facial muscles.

2. Dermabrasion and microdermabrasion are good to brighten the complexion. Not to be
confused with skin peels and exfoliation, microdermabrasion contains aluminum oxide
crystals that cleans and removes surface dirt and dead cells and are effective at providing
youthful looking skin.
Use Steam. Done once a week will be a very effective method at cleaning deep seated dirt
and in loosening up debris that have been imbedded into the skin. It also removes traces of
make up that have not been removed well. The heat will also open the pores of the skin
clearing away and flushing out toxins.
Apply brightening masks. Brightening face masks are good at correcting irregularities in
pigmentation and prevent the development of decolonization. What results is brighter and a
very pleasant skin tone.
