Why Your Skin Looks Dull and What Actually Fixes It

Dull skin can have several causes, including slow cell turnover, dehydration, impaired barrier function, poor circulation, pigmentation, glycation, and collagen loss. While moisturisers and mists may offer temporary improvement, lasting radiance comes from addressing the underlying cause. Treatments such as exfoliation, BioRePeel, Profhilo, polynucleotides, and targeted pigmentation care can improve skin quality, hydration, tone, and luminosity when properly matched to your needs.

Dehydrated Skin vs Dry Skin: Why the Difference Matters for Treatment

Dry skin and dehydrated skin may look similar, but they are fundamentally different concerns. Dry skin is a skin type caused by insufficient sebum and a weakened lipid barrier, while dehydration is a temporary lack of water within the skin. Understanding the difference matters because each requires a different treatment approach. Dry skin benefits from barrier-supportive oils, ceramides, and emollients, whereas dehydrated skin responds to hydration-focused ingredients such as hyaluronic acid.

Polynucleotides vs Lumi Eyes: Are They the Same Treatment?

Lumi Eyes and polynucleotides are closely related but not identical. Polynucleotides are a broader category of regenerative injectable treatments, while Lumi Eyes is a specific PDRN product formulated for the delicate periorbital area. Both aim to improve skin quality, but Lumi Eyes is specifically designed for under-eye concerns such as thin, crepey skin, fine lines, and certain types of dark circles.

Profhilo Aftercare: What to Do and Avoid After Your Treatment

Profhilo aftercare matters more than it may seem. Although the treatment is quick and well tolerated, the skin continues responding for weeks as the hyaluronic acid spreads through the tissue and stimulates collagen and elastin production. For the first 24–48 hours, avoid touching or massaging the area, intense exercise, alcohol, heat, and makeup directly over injection points.

Biorevitalisation vs Mesotherapy: What Is the Difference?

Biorevitalisation and mesotherapy are often treated as interchangeable, but there is an important distinction. Both use fine needle injections to improve skin quality, yet mesotherapy typically delivers a cocktail of ingredients including hyaluronic acid, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.

Summer Skin: Why Pigmentation Gets Worse and How to Treat It

Summer can make pigmentation noticeably darker, especially melasma, as UV exposure and heat stimulate pigment-producing cells. Understanding why pigmentation worsens in warmer months helps guide safer treatment choices. While SPF 50 and consistent sun protection remain essential, gentler treatments may be suitable during summer, with more intensive pigmentation treatments often better timed for autumn and winter.
