Common reasons for dull skin

Buildup of dead skin cells on the surface is one common cause. Poor barrier function leading to chronic dehydration also contributes significantly. Other factors include sun damage, impaired skin-cell turnover, and uneven skin tone.

Lifestyle and environmental influences

Smoking and air pollution act as additional causes for a lack of radiance. Lifestyle choices and environmental conditions further impact overall skin health. These elements interact with individual skin types to create dullness.
