What should I do about dull and lackluster skin?

Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Liu Wenmin

When skin appears dull and lacks luster, various methods can be used to improve its condition:

1. Hydration: Use moisturizing skincare products suitable for your skin type to keep the skin well-hydrated, which helps enhance skin radiance.

2. Sun protection: Apply proper sun protection when going outdoors to prevent UV damage and reduce pigmentation.

3. Regular exfoliation: Remove dead surface skin cells to promote cell turnover, resulting in smoother and finer skin.

4. Regular sleep schedule: Ensure adequate sleep and avoid staying up late, which helps regulate endocrine function and improve skin condition.

5. Moderate exercise: Enhance blood circulation and boost metabolism, aiding in toxin elimination and improving dull skin.

6. Photorejuvenation (Intense Pulsed Light): Uses intense pulsed light energy to break down and metabolize melanin particles in the skin, while stimulating collagen production to improve dull, lifeless skin.

7. Chemical peels (AHA): Utilize alpha hydroxy acids to accelerate skin metabolism and improve dullness and rough texture.

If symptoms persist without improvement, seek medical advice promptly.
