Poor Diet

Salty and processed food enhances tissue swelling through fluid retention. Excessive caffeine and sugar can also cause dull skin.

Insufficient Water Intake

Your skin may be dehydrated due to insufficient water intake.

Excessive Alcohol Comsumption

Alcohol is one of the most aggressive compounds to damage your skin as it can cause both dehydration and inflammation.

Inflammation activates melanin production, which can cause an increase in pigmentation and scarring.

High Stress
Level

Stress plays a large role in the brilliance of your skin as it can increase cortisol. This affects the blood flow to

your skin, making it look sallow. Stress can also trigger responses that lead to breakouts and rashes, while leaving you vulnerable to other ailments such as free radical damage.

Poor Blood Circulation

Poor blood circulation results in the lack of oxygen in your blood. This can cause skin pigmentation, dark spots and blotchy complexion.

Dry Skin

Insufficient exfoliation results in rough and dehydrated skin. The dead skin cells need to be sloughed away to see the fresh, bright skin beneath it!

Lack of Sleep 

Sleep is the body’s restorative time when your skin cells repair and regenerate. Insufficient sleep can result in under-performance of skin cells, causing poor blood circulation and an increase in stress hormones.

Smoking 

Smoking depletes antioxidants in your body, breaks down collagen and produces more free radicals. This not only increases the likelihood of forming dark spots but also makes your skin appear sallow, waxy and wrinkled over time.

Chemical Sunscreen 

While the chemical sunscreen agents absorbed into the skin surface may prevent sunburn, they do so by absorbing UV rays in sunlight and dispersing the heat into surrounding tissue. This in turn can stimulate melanin production and lead to hyperpigmentation.

Hormonal Changes 

Taking birth control pills, pregnancy and hormone therapy can cause hormonal changes, which stimulate the overproduction of melanin. This is one of the main causes of melasma.

External Environment 

Air pollutants, UV exposure, low humidity and harsh winds are environmental elements that can wreak havoc on our unprotected skin.

Excessive UV exposure triggers the production of melanin, where overproduction can cause dark spots to develop. Sunlight also decreases our skin collagen level, resulting in a slack, dull skin.
