Brighten winter skin and combat dullness

Whether you're inside in the dry heat or outside in the cold wind, you'll likely encounter skin dullness this time of year. The buildup of excess dead skin during this season and excess dryness can dull your glow. Harsh winter weather is the enemy of a luminous complexion. To help fend off dry, damaged dull looking skin, use an exfoliator. It's one of the best dull skin treatments.

• Revive skin. Gently exfoliate dry-combination skin with Clarifying Lotion 2. It helps clear away pollution, grime, and dry flakes to reveal smoother, more radiant skin. It also preps skin for moisturizer, helps minimize excess oil, and keeps pores clear. Use morning and night. Simply apply to a cotton ball and sweep over face after cleansing.
• Customize it. If your skin type is oily or dry, you can also customize your clarifying lotion based on your own skin type. Clarifying Lotion 1 is formulated to be extra gentle for extremely dry skin, while Clarifying Lotion 3 is designed for oily, combination skin. Clarifying Lotion 4 works great for very oily skin.

During the coldest, most brutal season, both you and your skin deserve a luxurious treat. Enter: serums, your skin's best friend for dull skin in winter.

• Tackle dark spots. Visibly reduce dark spots and improve radiance with Even Better Clinical Dark Spot Clearing Serum. UP302, our proprietary brightening molecule, Vitamin C, Pure niacinamide, Salicylic acid, and Glucosamine combine for stunning brightening results and a more even-looking skin tone. See a reduction in the look of dark spots, including sun spots, age spots, and post-acne marks. Plus, see more radiant looking skin. Use twice a day, morning and night.
• Don't forget the eyes. The eyes are the windows to the soul, but also the first part of your face to show tiredness or dullness. Don't forget to treat your eye area with a powerful serum too. Reduce the look of dark circles and brighten the eye area with Even Better Eyes Dark Circle Corrector. Best of all? It's like a trip to the spa in a bottle. The metal tip of the eye cream applicator provides a cooling, chic massage as the luxurious eye moisturizer helps hydrate.

Cold air and the buildup of dead skin cells can cause dry, dull skin. Our best fix? Staying well moisturized and hydrated, all season long, from morning 'til night.

• Choose a hydrating concentrate. Want a moisturizer for an epic glow? Before applying your normal moisturizer, use Moisture Surge Hydrating Supercharged Concentrate. This antioxidant-infused water-gel serum gives skin an intense moisture boost and instantly quenches dehydrated skin and keeps it hydrated for a full 72 hours. Its Liquid-Sphere Technology combines water-binding ingredients with encapsulated antioxidants. Hydrating ingredients including hyaluronic acid help plump skin with moisture. Apply morning and night before moisturizer.
• Get glowing and stay moisturized. A good, traditional moisturizer is one of the best dull skin products you can have in your repertoire for your day and night routine. Don't skimp during the winter. Go all out, your skin deserves the best. Try Moisture Surge Intense 72H Lipid-Replenishing Hydrator, a rich cream-gel that delivers 72-hour hydration for velvety-smooth skin. Use day and night.

Use it as an instant boost of light, oil-free face moisturizing mist. It helps hydrate to soften and soothe in a flash. Easily spritz anytime to rapidly replenish moisture.
• Soothe lips. Keep skin bright and beautiful by keeping lips looking healthy and feeling soothed too. To avoid letting that area of your face get dull—apply Moisture Surge Lip Hydro-Plump Treatment as needed. As a lip treatment for dry lips, it instantly helps hydrate, smooth, and prep lips for makeup. Slick it on morning and night as the last step of your routine, or use on to go for plumping hydration, nourishment, and soft, supple lips. You'll see a dewy glow almost instantly.
• Choose a sleeping mask. Take advantage of the last step of your nightly beauty routine and use a sleeping mask. Apply Moisture Surge Overnight Mask, a creamy, oil-free hydrating face mask that deeply nourishes while you sleep. It delivers a 98% overnight moisture boost.^* The rich formula nourishes skin, and soothes and replenishes dehydrated skin. Apply after your normal nightly moisturizer before you go to sleep.

Getting rid of dull skin and getting a glow through the winter is all about routine. Once you have the basics down—like exfoliating and moisturizing regularly—don't forget to protect your skin, especially when using targeted serums or retinols that may increase skin's sensitivity to sun.

• Wear SPF daily. Apply City Block Sheer Oil-Free Daily Face Protector Broad Spectrum SPF 25 before your makeup routine in the morning. This lightweight face SPF is a sheer mineral face sunscreen with UVA/UVB protection that also helps absorb excess oil. It's perfect alone, or as an invisible face primer for makeup. It will help protect skin from harsh winter sun.
