WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF SALLOW SKIN?

If the skin appears dull and tired, we refer to it as being sallow. Sallow skin can be caused by various factors. Above all, lifestyle has an impact on the appearance of the skin - lack of sleep, stress, or an unhealthy diet are often triggers for the development of sallow, tired skin. At the same time, sallow skin can also be encouraged by a nutrient deficiency, such as an iron deficiency.

But environmental factors also have a strong impact on our complexion. Especially in winter, many people struggle with sallow skin, as the low temperatures and weather conditions, such as rain and snow, put additional stress on the skin. The same applies to heated air and dirt particles that are in the air.


A SKINCARE ROUTINE FOR TIRED AND SALLOW SKIN: PRODUCTS FOR A RADIANT COMPLEXION

Your vacation was the perfect time to relax, follow an extensive skincare routine, and feel fresh and energized so you can wake up and start the morning off right! Now you're wondering how to make sure your skin doesn't look dull and tired following this? Who says you can't do the same for yourself and your skin after your vacation as you did on vacation? Returning to work and a fast-paced routine doesn't mean you have to give up your morning grooming routine. A regular skincare routine with the right products always helps you feel good and look confident. Revive your tired skin just as the alarm clock wakes you up.

ACTIVE INGREDIENTS FOR RADIANT, BEAUTIFUL SKIN

When choosing your skincare products, look for the following ingredients that can restore radiance to a sallow complexion:

Vitamin C: an important antioxidant that effectively protects the skin from free radicals and can also stimulate the skin's collagen formation. Learn more about its effects in our article on "Vitamins for the Skin".

Hyaluronic acid: a substance produced naturally in the body, known for its moisturizing and plumping effect. Like vitamin C, hyaluronic acid can also stimulate collagen production for a more youthful, fresh appearance.

Life Plankton: our exclusive, highly effective ingredient of natural origin has been proven to help strengthen the skin barrier and regenerate the skin's structure. Discover the world of Biotherm and learn more about our ingredients.

Collagen: the key to firm, youthful skin. Collagen can have a firming and plumping effect, making dull skin appear firmer and fresher.

Caffeine: its awakening and vitalizing effect ensures that the skin is better supplied with blood and thus skin regeneration is stimulated - the perfect pick-me-up for tired, sallow skin.

HYDRATING MOISTURIZER FOR A BEAUTIFUL COMPLEXION

Give your tired skin a refreshing moisture kick with hydrating skin care right after waking up. The Aqua Glow Super Concentrate, for example, is great for this purpose. A sallow complexion has no chance of taking over your face with this moisturizer. Enriched with vitamin C, an antioxidant that corrects the complexion, and ceramides, this moisturizer will give you an instant radiant complexion. The formula is also enriched with Life Plankton and natural glycerin. It instantly makes your skin smoother, more even, and radiant.

On-the-go tip: Aqua Glow Super Concentrate is designed to be so gentle on the skin that you can use it several times a day without worrying. The moisturizer is easy to use and is also the perfect size for your handbag. It effortlessly hydrates your skin and offers a beautiful glow - no matter where or when. Counteracting pale, tired skin has never been so easy or convenient.

A REGENERATING NIGHT CREAM FOR REDUCING SALLOW SKIN WHEN YOU WAKE

To ensure that tired skin doesn't stand a chance despite lack of sleep and stress, you should support cell renewal as much as possible. While you should offer your skin protection from environmental factors and free radicals during the day, e.g., by using a day cream with a sun protection factor , at night, it needs deep-acting regenerating treatment that supports cell renewal. An intensively moisturizing night cream or night mask with energizing molecules is ideal here.

Nourish your tired skin in the evening with the Aquasource Night Spa Cream to pamper it with a moisture boost. The regenerating night cream gives your dull skin a radiant glow overnight and your skin the chance to recover. In addition to the right night cream, you should also be sure to cleanse your face at night. Otherwise, there is a risk that pollutants and traces of makeup will negatively affect the appearance of your skin.

A SKINCARE ROUTINE FOR TIRED AND SALLOW SKIN: PRODUCTS FOR A RADIANT COMPLEXION

You ever wonder what else you can do for tired, sallow skin if you don't have any suitable products at home? Some home remedies have proven effective for use against sallow skin:

  • Recuperative sleep: of course, you don't always get enough sleep - but please don't forget the fact that sleep is of fundamental importance for a healthy appearance. One of the reasons for this is that cell regeneration mainly takes place at night - growth hormones are released more frequently during sleep. If you don't get enough sleep, your skin won't have enough time to regenerate and will look tired and dull. If you're not getting your recommended seven to eight hours of sleep, there are a few simple tricks you can use to help tired skin regenerate .
  • Ice cubes: like a facial massage, cold also stimulates circulation. After getting up, simply run ice cubes over your face and revive your sallow complexion. It can also quickly reduce dark circles and puffiness.
  • Cucumbers: put a cucumber in the refrigerator overnight and cut a few slices in the morning. You can gently run the cucumber slices over your face to refresh your skin. The cucumber slices have a pleasant cooling and moisturizing effect.
  • Yogurt or curd: yogurt and curd are also a proven remedy for a sallow complexion. Apply a small amount of the yogurt or curd to your face and leave it on for some time like a face mask before rinsing it off. If necessary, you can also add honey to your homemade mask. Honey has an antibacterial and moisturizing effect, revitalizing your tired-looking skin.
  • Aloe vera: aloe vera is considered an all-rounder among home remedies for skin care. Used on dull skin, the plant intensely moisturizes the skin and gives it a boost of freshness. To do this, cut open a fresh leaf from an aloe vera plant to get the gel. You can apply this directly onto the skin to enjoy its cooling and vitalizing effect.
  • Water: the simplest trick for a glowing complexion, drinking enough water can counteract dull, tired skin.d About two liters of water a day can supply the skin cells with sufficient fluid from the inside, which improves blood supply to the skin and thus makes it look fresher as well as more elastic.
  • Ice cubes: there are days when a sallow complexion just won't go away. Fortunately, there is makeup and such. Since tired skin is usually the cause of stress, here is the fastest and most uncomplicated option: a tinted day cream. So-called BB creams moisturize and correct imperfections - so that your complexion looks refreshed and rested even on stressful days or after a bad night's sleep.
