You are twenty years old, with the face of thirty, why are you the only one who has turned into a yellow-faced woman?

Nowadays, many young people in their early twenties, who should have faces full of collagen, have dull complexions and dark circles under their eyes. Sometimes when I accidentally glance at my own face, I’m startled by the “resentful” look on my face. What does it feel like to have a dull complexion? It's like there's a layer of dust on your face all the time. Take selfies, for example. If you have a dark skin tone, your selfies will look dark no matter which angle you take them! It’s like having a built-in shadow effect, even level 10 whitening is useless!

She is 20 years old but has the face of a 30-year-old. Her face looks older just because of her dark skin tone. Dull skin tone is very detrimental to our beauty, especially for women. Once we reach the age of 25, our youth flies by very quickly. If you don't pay attention to this problem, you will really become a shrew. It’s quite scary to think about it!

So pay attention! To be solved! First of all, we need to understand the cause of dull skin tone so that we can prescribe the right remedy. There are many reasons for a dull complexion, including:

1. Skin dehydration

Looking at the computer for a long time can cause dry skin. When the skin lacks moisture, the regulatory function of the stratum corneum will decrease, and the skin's resistance to sunlight and pollution will be significantly weakened. In addition, static electricity from computers will generate a lot of tiny dust particles that are invisible to the eyes and accumulate on the face, which is also the culprit for dullness.

2. Pigmentation

Due to frequent exposure to ultraviolet rays, it is easy to cause abnormal deposition of melanin on the face. And frequent use of cosmetics can easily cause various pigment deposits. This will affect the beauty of human skin and appearance.

3. Waste keratin accumulation

If the skin's old dead skin cells are not metabolized normally, they will accumulate on the surface, causing the skin to feel rough. This will also make it difficult for melanin to be metabolized. This type of dull skin may be accompanied by enlarged pores and frequent oil secretion.

4. Sebum secretion disorder

Women with oily skin tend to secrete too much oil, which makes the T-zone appear greasy, especially after makeup mixes with sebum, making the skin darker. If the skin is in poor nutritional condition and sebum production is reduced, the skin will appear dull and lifeless.

5. Excessive psychological pressure

Psychological stress will directly affect the decline of adrenocortical hormone secretion mechanism. As a result, the skin will lose its resistance, becoming prone to rashes, freckles, and acne, making the complexion become "dark and yellow".

6. Irregular lifestyle

Abnormal work and rest schedules will cause the body's metabolic capacity to decline, affect the production and metabolism of melanin, reduce the repair ability of the epidermis, and may also cause endocrine disorders, thereby affecting skin quality.
