Dullness, Dehydration & Tired-Looking Skin
-
Lack of glow
-
Dehydrated, tight or flaky skin
-
“Flat” complexion despite makeup and skincare
How it happens (physiology)
Dullness is usually from increased stratum corneum build-up, reduced surface lipids, and less efficient desquamation; dehydration reflects impaired barrier function and reduced natural moisturizing factors, sometimes worsened by age-related decline in dermal glycosaminoglycans such as hyaluronic acid.
Variations
-
True dry skin (low oil) vs dehydrated (water deficient but may be oily).
-
Can coexist with pigment issues or textural roughness.
Severity & treatment approach
-
Mild: optimized skincare (gentle cleansing, humectants, emollients), facials, superficial exfoliation.
-
Moderate–severe: add professional exfoliation (peels, HydraFacial), device-based collagen/HA stimulation (e.g., RF, PRP, HA-boosting RF/ultrasound), plus structured product strategy from coaching. Chronic barrier compromise or medical dermatoses should be evaluated medically.
