Why does my skin look dull?
Skin sheds dead cells continuously, and this process slows with age. The remaining layer scatters light instead of reflecting it, so skin looks flat. Dry skin and dry winter air contribute.
Sun damage causes uneven pigment that looks dull from a distance. Poor sleep, smoking and low water intake can also affect the skin.
Skin brightening treatments at Magic FemTouch
Most brightening treatments exfoliate, hydrate, or both. Deeper treatments also address sun damage.

How long before an event should I get a facial?
Timing matters more than the treatment. A HydraFacial or a facial a few days before is a common choice, because there is little or no flaking. Allow about a week after a light peel. Allow a few weeks after a laser treatment or a stronger peel.
Avoid trying a new treatment right before a wedding or photos. If you have never had a treatment, schedule a trial a month ahead. See how often to get a facial.
When dull skin is really sun damage
If a facial helps for a week and then the dullness returns, uneven pigment from sun exposure may be the cause. A peel series or the Moxi laser treats that deeper layer.
See sun spots and dark spots for separate spots, and melasma for patchy brown color.
What helps dull skin at home

What helps dull skin?
Exfoliation and hydration are the main treatments for dull skin. Dullness usually comes from a buildup of dead skin cells, dryness or uneven tone. At Magic FemTouch MedSpa in Oak Lawn, a HydraFacial, a facial, a light peel or microdermabrasion each work in one visit. Dullness from sun damage may need a short series.

Questions
Dull skin questions
What causes dull skin?
Most often, dead skin cells build up faster than they shed, which becomes more common with age. Dry skin, winter air, sun damage, poor sleep and smoking contribute.
Which treatment brightens dull skin the fastest?
A HydraFacial or a facial shows the change the same day, with no flaking for most people. A light peel can produce a brighter result, but it is fully visible about a week later.
Should I get a HydraFacial or a peel for dull skin?
A HydraFacial suits dull, dry skin and clogged pores, and most people return to normal activities the same day. A light peel works slightly deeper on dead skin and uneven tone, with some flaking. Many people alternate between the two.
How often should I get a facial for dull skin?
Many people book one about once a month, because dead skin cells build up again within a few weeks. Your esthetician can recommend a schedule after the first visit.
Can dull skin be a sign of something else?
Sometimes. If gray or sallow skin comes with fatigue, weight changes or other symptoms, see a doctor. A facial can wait until you have been evaluated.
How much does skin brightening cost?
The cost depends on the treatment you choose and the number of visits in your plan. Your provider gives you the price at your consultation.
