How to Brighten Dull Skin

Bright ideas

Combat a dull complexion by adding a brightening product into your routine. Available in everything from serums to ingestibles, these products include active ingredients like vitamin C and niacinamide, powerful antioxidants that boost skin cell regeneration and leave your skin looking radiant. Choose one product to easily work into your routine, or layer several together for best results.

Serums & Treatments A topical serum with vitamin C and niacinamide is considered by dermatologists to be the most effective way to absorb these key brightening boosters. Like all antioxidants, these ingredients work by neutralizing free radicals that cause damage to your cells. While these serums can be used morning or night, it’s ideal to use one as a part of your morning routine.

Moisturizers & Eye Creams Further boost your radiance with a brightening moisturizer and eye cream. Formulated for the thin, sensitive skin under your eyes, a brightening eye cream is ideal for treating those dreaded dark circles. They contain ingredients like vitamin C and caffeine to instantly brighten and color-correct dark circles.

Skin Care Tools Skin care tools are another way to help give your skin a brighter appearance. A dermaplaning tool brightens, softens and smooths skin by removing peach fuzz and dead skin. Ice rollers help reduce inflammation and puffiness under the eyes for a brighter-eyed look. And a facial cleansing tool can lead to noticeably brighter and healthier-looking skin.

Ingestibles Adding supplements to your beauty routine can help boost beauty from the inside out and give your skin an inner glow. These nutrient-dense powders, tablets and drinkable supplements help brighten your complexion and improve the appearance of skin at a deeper level than topical treatments alone.
