Keep skin bright when it's dull outside.

Winters can be rough—especially for skin. Between the inconsistent temperatures, dry indoor heat, and harsh winds, it can be really hard to know how to get glowing skin and keep it that way. The secret lies in tweaking your routine a bit and keeping it consistent. (Repeat after us: brighten, exfoliate, hydrate.) You’ll be saying bye to dull skin in no time.

Use a gentle daily exfoliant.

Dead skin cells can really build up throughout the season, so it’s important to integrate a toning step into your routine to keep skin smooth. Our best-selling Clarifying Lotion helps sweep away flakes that create dull skin, as well as removes dirt, grime, and other impurities. Mild enough to use twice a day, clean and exfoliated skin allow the rest of your products to absorb better.

Add a more potent exfoliator a few times a week.

Are you still asking, “why does my skin look dull?” Sometimes dull skin needs a weekly boost of something more potent. Enter the Clarifying Do-Over Peel. With a 32% Micro-Acid+ Complex, this leave-on peel boosts cell renewal and reveals millions of fresher cells, for radiant, glowing skin. Use this 2-3 times a week in place of your Clarifying Lotion step, and you won’t believe the difference.

Deliver a dose of brightness.

Knowing how to combat dull skin can be confusing, but it all starts with the right nutrients. Even Better Clinical™ Radical Dark Spot Corrector + Interruptor is a potent serum that uses our CL302 Brightening Complex™ with Vitamin C to deliver dramatic brightening results, by reducing the look of dark spots and making skin look more even. It also reduces the look of redness and irritation that can occur from environmental irritants. This sets the stage for a bright, more even looking canvas.

Give it some moisture.

How to combat dull skin ends with moisture. Protecting your moisture barrier is the key to get glowing skin, which is why Moisture Surge™ Auto-Replenishing Hydrator hydrates for hours and boosts skin’s natural defense. With Aloe Bioferment + HA Complex, the formula helps infuse and maintain skin with moisture, while Vitamin C and E help provide antioxidant protection against every day causes of dull, dehydrated skin.

Moisturize even more.

Some days call for more moisture, which is where Moisture Surge™ Intense 72H Lipid-Replenishing Hydrator comes in. This cream-gel delivers an instant moisture boost, plus rich lipids to help lock it all in. Ingredients like cica and caffeine help soothe dehydrated, dull skin all while nourishing ingredients help strengthen the skin’s moisture barrier.
