How to Naturally Brighten Dull Skin

Brighten dull skin

Nobody needs to know your age - as long as your skin doesn’t give it away! 

When I tell people that I just turned 50, they don’t believe me. But back when I was 35 and dealing with oily, sallow, unhappy skin, plenty of people would have believed I was already 50 - ugh!

If you’re dealing with dull skin that doesn’t begin to reflect the joy and energy inside of you, then it’s time for a change. Like I mention all of the time with fluoride toothpaste and aluminum-based deodorant, the most common skincare products out there are formulated to work against your skin, not for it. 

How is that possible? I asked myself that question for years. This is until I finally developed my own line of skincare products that delivered results. After suffering through 20 years of acne breakouts, aggressively oily skin, and unsightly premature wrinkles, I thought, “What have I got to lose?”

If two decades of spa treatments and name brand beauty products left me with terrible skin at 39, making a change could only help

My skincare line is so different than the products you find on store shelves because the potent natural ingredients become food to your skin. They nourish and feed your cells everything they need to boost circulation and collagen production. 

The result? A natural way to brighten dull skin and rejuvenate your appearance. 

Why Do you Have Dull Skin?

Life would be so much easier if we could keep our plump, rosy baby skin forever, but age takes its toll. The bright, healthy skin you want relies on two critical, non-negotiable factors: strong blood circulation and consistent collagen production. 

Age, environmental toxins, poor lifestyle habits, and stress stand in the way of both! It’s no wonder your 30-year-old skin feels 40, right? 

The Importance of Circulation

Your circulatory system is the river of life inside your body. It has the vital responsibility of delivering oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and minerals to your skin cells.

It also must flush out toxins, pathogens, and waste. So just think about the terrible implications of poor circulation! 

Your skin can’t glow if it doesn’t receive oxygen, nutrients, and minerals. Worse yet, if toxins and acids accumulate within your skin, it becomes dull, pale, and damaged.

Strong circulation doesn’t happen without your help, especially as you get older. If you’re not exercising daily, staying hydrated, and eating healthy foods, it’s likely that poor circulation is contributing to your dull skin. 

The Importance of Collagen

Diamonds aren’t a girl’s best friend. Collagen is! Without collagen, your skin becomes an empty (and droopy) shell. 

As collagen is produced, it forms a thick fibrous network of cells in the middle layer of the skin called the dermis. This network of collagen keeps your skin strong, firm, and elastic. 

You can think of collagen as a mattress in the middle layer of your skin. The surface of your skin is the bedsheet. As long as collagen production remains consistent, the “mattress” is always full and strong to support a taut “bedsheet”. 

However, when collagen production declines, the skin becomes wrinkled, saggy, and dull instead. Your natural stores of collagen decline around your 21st birthday- not the surprise you’d hoped for. If you don’t take active steps to stimulate collagen production and protect your skin, you can expect to see the following signs of aging staring back at you in the mirror:

  • Poor skin tone
  • Skin pigmentation discolorations
  • Acne and inflammation
  • Slower healing
  • Wrinkles
  • Dark eye circles

You want to glance in the mirror and love what you see, so it’s time to take action. A strategic daily skincare routine can help you stop existing skin damage in its tracks as you simultaneously protect, strengthen, and enrich your skin for the future. 

The Ultimate Skincare Routine

You probably already know a few basic methods to fix dull skin, but they can’t be used in isolation. Eating one apple a month can’t magically make you a healthier person, just like exfoliating sporadically can’t keep your skin looking young. Follow this ultimate skincare routine to make sure your dull skin becomes (and stays!) vibrant, soft, and beautiful.

Morning Skincare Routine

Start your morning right with these three simple steps:

  1. Wash your face
  2. Moisturize
  3. Apply sun protection

Smart skincare doesn’t have to be complicated! As long as you are using the right products with the best ingredients, you’ll look dewy fresh all day long. 

Evening Skincare Routine

After a long day at work or running errands, your skin needs to recover as much as you do:

  1. Wash your face
  2. Apply toner
  3. Apply face serum

The toner prepares your skin to absorb face serum, which should be chock full of incredible ingredients to hydrate your facial tissue, remove toxic build-up, and regenerate damaged skin cells. 

Weekly Skincare Routine

Aside from your normal morning and evening skincare routine, it’s also important to do the following:

  1. Exfoliate twice a week
  2. Use an at-home facial treatment once a week
  3. Use a face mask once a week

These three techniques rejuvenate and protect your skin with extra power so you can accelerate healing and look your best. 

Just remember that you won’t get the same results following this routine with products from the dollar store. Natural skincare products formulated with real ingredients proven to nourish your skin will always deliver the best and most dramatic results. 

Why Consider Natural Skincare Products to Brighten Your Skin?

The disappointing truth is that most commercial skincare products contain chemicals, fragrances, and synthetic ingredients that can cause irritation and inflammation on your skin. They can even dehydrate your skin, which sounds counterintuitive for products designed specifically to improve your skin health. 

So what gives? To begin with, commercial skincare products contain water. That might sound great since we correlate water with hydration, but the skin doesn’t actually absorb products that contain water! They will sit on your skin and pull more moisture out of your skin until it all evaporates and leaves your skin feeling dry, brittle, and dull. 

You can identify the mark of a great skincare product if it does not contain water as a main ingredient. Instead of water, you should see oils on the label. The skin craves products formulated to mimic its own composition of lipids and fatty acids. That's why natural oils generate such incredible results!

When your skin receives nourishment from natural oils like coconut, jojoba, hazelnut, argan, neem, and hemp seed oil, its protective barrier becomes stronger. This empowers the skin to hold more moisture, reject impurities, and support the natural repair processes that keep the skin looking smooth and bright.

The Best Natural Skincare Products 

There are a lot of skincare lines out there. I mean, a ton. How are you supposed to figure out which products will actually deliver the results they promise?

Don’t worry, I’m here to help. I developed my own skincare line because I was sick of using expensive products that did about as much good as pouring my money down the garbage disposal. 

I’ve formulated all of my products with everything you need to brighten dull skin, decrease skin congestion, reduce acne, improve circulation, tone and tighten your facial tissues, and so much more!

Brighten dull skin

Here’s a breakdown of the best natural skincare products to restore your youthful flow. At the age of 50, I look better now than I did at age 35, and I have these products to thank. 

The Quiver

Make the Quiver your face’s new best friend. Immediately! The Quiver releases sonic vibrations through soft and gentle silicon. You don’t need a facelift or expensive spa treatments to revitalize your face and lift your aging skin- you just need the Quiver. 

The ultra high-frequency vibrations released by the Quiver enrich your skin with multiple benefits:

  • Stimulate collagen production- The Quiver’s sonic vibrations stimulation your facial muscles, which in turn triggers collagen production. You simple hold and rock the Quiver across your cheeks, under your eyes, and across your forehead to leave your skin looking lifted, awake, and balanced. 
  • Remove dead skin cells- Dead skin cells are swept away with the Quiver’s vibrations. It’s like a mini-exfoliation session as healthy, youthful skin surfaces to replace the dead and damaged skin. This keeps you looking years younger!
  • Make face serums work order- Since the Quiver also opens your pores with 8,500 vibrations a minute, your skin is ready to absorb and gobble up every bit of face serum you apply. 

In only two to four minutes a day, the Quiver creates an anti-aging experience like you’ve never known before. It creates a natural face lift effect that will leave people wondering how old you actually are.

As an added bonus, the Quiver is incredibly easy to use. Just wet your face, apply cleanser, and move the device in small circular motions across your face. You’ll literally feel your skin tingling when you’re done- that’s collagen in the making!

Earth Face Wash

If you glance at the ingredients in your current face wash, chances are it contains benzoyl peroxide and other harsh ingredients that rob your skin of its hydration and nourishment.

Did you know that benzoyl peroxide is the leading ingredient in most mainstream face wash products despite the fact that it can cause peeling, flaking, redness, irritation, burning, and itching?

Um... what? Why should we continue using products that run the risk of causing the exact opposite of healthy, rejuvenated skin? Turn your attention to Earth Face Wash, a completely different type of face wash that really will improve the health of your skin instead of compromising it further. 

This product is formulated to be gentle enough to clean the daily grime from your skin without removing your natural oils! This helps your skin look and feel hydrated, youthful, and healthy. Ingredients like White Kaolin clay, French Green clay, organic grapefruit peel, organic honey, and organic lavender work miracles on your skin. 

By including these “skin food” ingredients, your daily washing routine enriches your face with everything it needs to not just stay clean, but increase collagen production and skin tone.

It also doesn’t hurt that lavender and honey nurse damaged skin back to life and soften dry, brittle skin. 

Beyond Face Moisturizer

Beyond Face Moisturizer deserves to become a daily part of your morning routine, right after your Earth Face Wash. This ultra-potent skin food is formulated to revive scarred, acne-prone skin using 14 essential oils, pure filtered beeswax, and other natural ingredients. 

When you apply Beyond Face Moisturizer every morning, you can expect to see the following benefits within just a week or two:

  • Repair damaged tissue
  • Fade signs of scars
  • Reduce fine lines and wrinkles
  • Help skin tone look even and balanced
  • Make signs of aging disappear
  • Improve elasticity of skin

Brighten dull skin

The secret to this moisturizer can be found in its Tamanu oil. Research shows that Tamanu oil has the power to heal skin beyond nearly all modern day skincare products. Its wound-healing activity helps the skin fight inflammation and absorb antioxidants in order to regenerate damaged skin and produce new skin tissue. 

Emu oil also plays a huge role in Beyond Face Moisturizer thanks to its complete balance of Omega 3, 6 and 9 fatty acids. These fatty acids are essential to skin health and healing. Fatty acids not only maintain the skin’s permeability barrier, but they also inhibit inflammation, promote wound healing, and replenish the skin.

In fact, the natural lipids found in Emu oil match those found in human skin, allowing for natural stimulation and rejuvenation. 

The other powerful oils in this product range from helichrysum and chamomile to frankincense and geranium. Each oil contributes its own unique healing capabilities to restore your damaged skin. It’s not too good to be true; it’s just skincare done right. 

Infiniti Face Toner

You know toner is important, but do you really know why? Toners are meant to tighten skin cells, reduce the penetration of impurities, but most commercial toners contain glycerin or alcohol that do the exact opposite. The Infiniti Face Toner is the 100% organic toner you’ve been searching for all these years. 

Infiniti Face Toner blends natural botanicals and essential oils to stimulate cell activity and restore vitality to your skin. It’s best to apply this toner after you wash your face every evening because it preps your skin for your favorite serum. 

Just spray a few pumps of toner on your skin in the evening to purify delicate facial tissue, fade age spots, restore essential vitamins into your skin, and enhance cellular repair. That’s some serious multi-tasking from one single product! 

The ingredients that make this potent toner possible include purified rosewater, green tea, unfiltered apple cider, and carefully selected essential oils. Rosewater helps to restore the pH balance of your skin while green tea infuses it with antioxidants. Get ready for total skin regeneration. 

Beyond Face Serum

The final gift you want to give to your skin every night is an application of Beyond Face Serum.  This is the ultimate formula to fight the advances of aging skin and the make the unsightly remains of your acne breakouts disappear. Beyond Face Serum combines 15 essential oils proven to address lines, wrinkles, acne scars, age spots, and dull skin.

It couldn’t be easier to use- just apply one drop to each cheek, chin, and forehead. Gently massage into the skin or use your Quiver to work it deep into your skin tissue. When used in conjunction with your face wash and toner, you can expect to see these results in just a few days or weeks:

  • Less redness and blotchiness 
  • Reduced wrinkles and fine lines
  • Improved appearance of acne and acne scars
  • Diminished age spots and discoloration, including rosacea and melasma
  • Enhanced skin tone and texture
  • Brighter, happier skin

You can’t go wrong with this blend of essential oils including rosemary, carrot seed, rosewood, neroli, clary sage, pumpkin seed, bergamot, and many more!
