Dull Complexion

So winter is coming up and my face is already getting that dull look to it. I guess I have combination skin and it can get dry too. What do you ladies do to get that nice glow to your face??

Re: Dull Complexion

Exfoliate with a very gentle scrub twice a week.

Use a very good moisturizer and eyecream before going to bed.

Feed your skin by eating furits and nuts.

Drink enough water and try to stay away from heaters.

Re: Dull Complexion

Thanks, I definitely need to start drinking more water. Hmm.. recommend some good moisturizer and eyecream?I've always used Oil of Olay lotion and it's fine, but if there's something a lot better, do tell please!

A question for the ladies

Re: Dull Complexion

Drink plenty of water, exfoliate and use olive oil on your skin every night!

Winter dries out u're skin and so do indoor heaters.. make sure u have sunblock and a heavy moisturiser on at all times =) Body Shop's Vitamin E face cream works really well on dry/parched skin! Don't neglect u're lips..slather them with a good lipbalm too..

PS, olive oil doesn't suit all skins..some breakout with olive oil so a rich vitamin E cream/lotion is the best!

Yes, exfoliation is a great way of preventing the grey winter skin..but switch to a cream scrub with micro-beads for winters.

Do you think God answers your payers?

Re: Dull Complexion

Yeah, I'm pretty sure if I put olive oil my face will breakout. Thanks though maybe for arms and legs.

Gina, do you know what the exact name is of the vitamin E cream. I looked up online and they have a whole vitamin E line. Btw, I love Body Shop's body creams too.

Re: Dull Complexion

Thanks Gina, will check it out next time I'm at the mall!

Mall-Yeah use the Vit E face cream as your moisturizer

mmkaki- Toner is used after you cleanse your face and it's supposed to tighten pores and remove excess oil on your face. Can put it on with a cotton ball, avoid the eye area, and the alcohol free ones are better because they don't over dry the skin. Follow with a moisturizer. It's really helpful for oily or acne prone skin.

thnnx for the reply i have dry skin n my sis made me buy a toner wiv other cosmetics that i can use after my shadi ...im too dumb in all these things ???
i wana know about concealer too i havent got that is it necesarry to use it n when is it used before appkying foundation i heard its used to hide spots n dark circles ...as i have very thin skin under my eyes my vein is visible so should i be using a concealer to hide it n then apply foundation on it????? plz help

18

Every girl shud make cleansing, toning, moisturising a daily routine..and scrub 3 times a week..if it's a mild scrub it can be used everyday as well.

Mmkaki, I've answered u're question..a concealer will hide u're marks and imperfections as well as conceal u're dark-circles. if u have flawless skin u don't need any however, if u have marks then u wud need one closest to u're skintone. That is followed by foundation and then loose or pressed powder!

Read foundation 101 please
