7 ways to revive a dull or pallid skin tone
You may have a naturally pallid skin or as we mature we may lose colour from our complexion, resulting in a dull or pallid complexion.
Fresh and nutritious food, fruit and vegetables contain pigments called carotenoids, which give carrots their orange colour, tomatoes their red colour etc. When we eat them, these pigments show in our skin, contributing to a glowing complexion. Adequate sleep, plenty of water (hydration is plumping as well), less coffee and alcohol, fresh air and exercise.
Use Dr. Hauschka Revitalising Day Lotion. This product is our lightest in texture yet our most activating. It supports sebaceous activity and key ingredient anthyllis guides your skin to a healthy, balanced and radiant state.
Do not use night cream or eye cream at night, which impedes overnight regenerating and eliminating functions of the skin. We support a healthy skin with botanical extracts held in an aqueous solution, such as Night Serum for all skin conditions or Regenerating Serum to support a maturing skin.
Revitalising Mask treatments incorporated into your skin care regime.
Mix a little Translucent Bronzing Tint with your Revitalising Day Lotion to bring uplifting warm tones into your skin. Alternatively use Tinted Day Cream for a more dewy finish and a richer formulation.
After moisturising and Translucent Bronzing Tint and/or applying your Foundation. Always put the colour back in. Use our matte Bronzing Powder (see tips below) and Blush to the ‘apples’ of the cheeks. Think of a child’s skin with naturally rosy cheeks. Make-up looks one dimensional without the colour added back in.
Use Eyeshadow 06 white opal with a Powder Brush to highlight cheekbones. Also a little at the cupid’s bow of your lips and under brow, these areas of highlighting bring radiance to your look.

Bronzing Powder Application Tips
To get that natural, sun-kissed look, apply Bronzing Powder with a light hand, using Powder Brush, building it up in sheer layers. A little goes a long way. Focus on the areas that the sun would naturally hit, including forehead, chin and jaw line, and the tops of cheeks, the tip of nose, using sweeping motions on top of your brow bone and circular motions on your cheeks and chin.
