Ensuring your skin is well hydrated, cleansed and exfoliated, is essential for keeping dull skin at bay. If you’re looking for natural remedies to achieve this, try the following:

• Get plenty of sleep
• Drink eight glasses of water per day
• Don’t smoke
• Protect your skin from sun exposure
• Eat a diet rich in fruit, vegetables, nuts and seeds
• Moisturise daily with a natural oil, such as coconut oil
• Exfoliate twice weekly with a homemade sugar scrub, made with two parts coconut oil to one part sugar
• Splash your face with cool water with a little-added lemon juice to brighten and refresh

There are a number of skin peels designed to brighten and refresh dull skin. The treatment involves applying a non-toxic chemical to the surface of the skin to encourage cell turnover and exfoliation. As dead skin cells are removed, skin appears clearer and more radiant.

Microneedling uses small needles to cause tiny punctures in the skin. These small contact points encourage the body to create a wound-healing response and renew the skin cells. As your skin repairs, the production of collagen and elastin is triggered to give an almost immediate plumping effect. Skin appears brighter and younger looking.

HydraFacial is a multi-step treatment that uses patented technology to cleanse, exfoliate, extract and brighten the skin. During the treatment, dead skin cells and impurities are removed and the skin is hydrated with antioxidants and peptides. Unlike other treatments, HydraFacial can be had as often as weekly or monthly to achieve a fast and long-lasting result.
