If you put on makeup in the morning and your skin looks flaky and rough, you might wonder, "Why is my skin so dull these days?" I've been worried lately because my skin has been looking dry and flaky, perhaps because of the weather. It's been said that dull skin isn't just a simple dehydration issue; it can also be a sign of a deteriorating overall skin condition.

Today, we'll cover everything from the causes of dull skin to home care and prevention methods you can practice at home, to treatments you can get from a dermatologist!

1. Causes of dull skin

You may be concerned about rough skin, makeup flaking off easily, and dull skin. The causes of dull skin are as follows:

 

1) Dehydration

First of all, if there is not enough moisture in the skin, the skin loses elasticity and only oil remains, making it look dull.

 

2) Environmental factors

When the indoor and outdoor air is dry due to cold wind or excessive use of heating devices, it can cause moisture evaporation from the stratum corneum of the skin, making the skin dull and dry.

 

3) Damage to the skin barrier

Additionally, if the skin barrier is damaged by UV rays, excessive washing, or frequent peeling, it can cause dry skin and dull skin.

 

4) Excessive dead skin cells

It is said that dryness can easily cause dead skin cells to accumulate on the skin, and when the stratum corneum thickens, the skin can become dull and flaky.

2. Home care and prevention for dull skin

If you're concerned about dull skin, it might be a good idea to review your home care routine. Here are some home care tips for managing dull skin!

 

1) Replenish skin moisture

It's important to moisturize your skin immediately after washing your face. It's recommended to apply a light moisturizing toner, essence, and moisturizing cream in that order.

 

2) Use a mask pack

If you're concerned about dull skin texture or tightness, using a sheet mask can be a solution. Liviheal sheet masks contain ingredients that help strengthen the skin barrier, soothe, and moisturize, helping to maintain healthy skin conditions.

3) No excessive exfoliation

It is said that it is better to exfoliate without harming the skin condition, because strong scrubbing can irritate the skin and damage the skin barrier, which can make the skin more dry.

4) Check your face washing habits

Developing good cleansing habits can also help with dull skin. It's recommended to use lukewarm water instead of extremely hot or cold water, and avoid excessive double cleansing.

4. Q&A

1) Is it okay to just apply oily cream to my oily skin?

: Since adding oil to a dehydrated skin can actually make it feel stuffy, it is better to prioritize moisture supply and then add oil to protect the skin.

 

2) Will it be okay if I exfoliate frequently?

: As mentioned earlier, excessive exfoliation can actually weaken the skin barrier and worsen dullness, so it is important to use a mild exfoliating treatment no more than once a week.

Dull skin isn't simply a result of dryness; it's a complex mix of factors, including dehydration, dead skin cells, and a weakened skin barrier. Therefore, it's crucial to focus on improving skin's overall condition, rather than simply moisturizing it.

If your skin has been feeling particularly dry lately, I hope you check your skin condition and continue to take care of it appropriately!
