Dry, dull skin?
Dull skin: so many causes
Do you feel fresh and well rested, but your skin looks dull and tired? Is your complexion looking lacklustre, even after a holiday? Dull skin can be due to many factors. Are you under a lot of stress at work right now and following a slightly less healthy diet? Or maybe your skin is just lacking oomph and needs a little boost to rediscover its radiance. Let’s bring back a beautiful, natural glow and radiance to your complexion!
Tips to bring the radiance back to dull skin.
1. Self-care
A little self-care helps your skin rediscover its radiance. Think inner calm for outer beauty. Of course you should indulge in pampering yourself from head to toe. You may sense both you and your skin need a treat at the moment.
A healthy bowl of nutritious food, rich in vitamins and fibre gives you new-found energy and provides your skin with the vitamins and minerals it needs. Because enjoying a good, varied diet not only does wonders for your health, but also for your beauty. Fruits, vegetables and whole grains are real nutrient-boosters that lend your skin an all-natural glow.
A good night’s sleep is actually beauty sleep, because when you go to sleep, is when your skin becomes active with regenerating, renewing and also elimination. A short walk on your lunch break, one extra glass of water per day, a yoga session before going to bed: this sort of self-care programme will have your skin glowing again in no time. If not, there could be an underlying medical reason for your dull skin and if this is the case we would recommend making an appointment to talk this over with your health professional.
2. Skin care
Your daily skin care rituals are also a form of self-care. Applying daily facial care that addresses your skin condition helps to restore balance to your skin. Just three steps provide your skin with optimal care: a gentle and effective natural and organic facial cleanser to cleanse in the morning, or remove make-up and cleanse in the evening that respects your skin’s pH and hydrolipid layer. A toner to strengthen your skin, and an appropriate day cream in the morning moisturises, balances, provides vitality and protects. At night our light night treatment products: Night Serum or Regenerating Serum guide the nighttime activity of your skin so you wake to refreshed and revitalised skin in the morning.
Once or twice a week, an instantly effective face mask also delivers an extra boost for your skin.
3. Make-up
Of course your skin can get a helping hand with our natural make-up to ensure you look fresh. Our Foundation evens out your complexion and lends it a vibrant glow. A little concealer under the eyes makes them look instantly more awake, we particularly like our unique Light Reflecting Concealer. Illuminating Fluid, which you can mix with our Foundation, ensures a luminous complexion. Add the colour back in with our Blush for youthful rosy cheeks. Our Highlighter with light-reflecting pigments adds a gorgeous, radiant touch. You’re ready for the day!

Our light Revitalising Day Lotion refreshes and enlivens your dull, tired skin and gives it a new lease of life with a very light texture.
A beauty routine to bring radiance back to dull skin.
3-Step morning skin care ritual
Cleanse, tone and moisturise with the activating power of apricot to revive your skin – and add a touch of our Blush for rosy cheeks.
1) Cleansing Cream for an extra deep cleanse or Cleansing Balm
2) Facial Toner
4-Step evening skin care ritual.
What does dull skin need in the evening? Cleansing mae-up and the dirt, dust and pollution your skin picks up during the day. Tone and revitalising night care to wake to refreshed and revitalised skin in the morning.
2) Soothing Cleansing Milk which is our make-up remover and cleanser or Cleansing Balm for a light make-up removal and cleanse.
We recommend: a secondary cleanse in the evening. You may choose to use Soothing Cleansing Milk for your first and second cleanse, alternatively you may choose to use Soothing Cleansing Milk for your first cleanse and Cleansing Cream or Cleansing Balm for your second cleanse.
3) Facial Toner
4) Night Serum or Regenerating Serum.
The perfect stimuli for a beautiful and revitalised skin with a lasting effect comes with a 28 night treatment with Renewing Night Conditioner. Use one ampoule in the evening, instead of Toner and Serum. Do this treatment for a month, a skin cell cycle, once a season.
It’s also a great introductory product for those new to the Dr. Hauschka skin care routine.
If your skin needs more?
Then your skin will very much appreciate an intensive skin care boost. Once a week use our Clarifying Steam Bath, which helps soften pores, ensuring a deeper cleanse with Clarifying Clay Mask, and follow with Revitalising Mask which rejuvenates, soothes, helps even skin tone and leaves your skin feeling refreshed.
On another night of the week cleanse early in the evening and apply Revitalising Mask, or your skin may prefer Hydrating Mask if it’s very dry.
Tips for a dull complexion: get your radiant glow on with nourishing make-up.
Foundation that’s an extension to your skin care
We think of our Foundation as the 4th step in your morning skin care ritual. It glides on smoothly and evenly, blending with your natural skin tone. For a fresh, vibrant complexion, use a touch of our Translucent Bronzing Tint: simply mix it with your chosen daytime skin care to create your own individual healthy sun-kissed glow. Our Light Reflecting Concealer reliably conceals small impurities and dark circles, it has a blurring effect. And for slightly more coverage, look no further than our Concealer.
A touch of freshness
Looking to create the sort of fresh complexion achieved by a brisk morning walk? Our Blush brings a touch of colour to your cheeks while also caring for the skin with sage and witch hazel. Our matte Bronzing Powder adds a sun-kissed radiance, and a pop of our Highlighter on your cheekbones plays with the light when you move for a luminous highlight.
Finish and activate
It only takes a little to make a big difference: our Colour Correcting Powder 01 activating refreshes your pallid, lacklustre skin to leave it looking nourished and radiant. Ready to take on the day?
Our key botanical ingredients for dull skin.
Apricot: plump, velvety, seductive and fragrant
Apricots have a lot to offer. Thanks to their high carotenoid content, eating apricots is said to strengthen the immune system and help protect the skin from UV radiation. Rich in vitamin B, apricots strengthen the nerves, while their folic acid stimulates red blood cell production and cell renewal. Because of its unobtrusive scent and long shelf life, apricot kernel oil is often used as a base for skin care products. It also helps the skin to retain moisture and leaves it velvety soft. The apricot kernel oil used in Dr. Hauschka Skin Care is cold-pressed from the kernels of organically cultivated apricots. The easily absorbed oil cares for the skin and forms the basis of our products for pale, tired skin.
Carrot: a master of contrasts
The carrot requires a lot of power to develop such a vibrant colour underground. And it can share this power with your skin – for a natural glow. Carrot oil helps skin with insufficient sebaceous secretion, providing it with lasting care and preventive protection. It’s a rich source of provitamin A.
Ferment: supporting your skin’s microbiome
Fermented grain extract - (oat, rye and wheat) contains live bacteria, and bioactive ferments and acid-resistant yeast cells supports the skin’s microbiome, which is important for healthy, radiant skin. Bioactive ferment and minerals from fermented grains makes skin glow!
Raspberry Seed Oil: a relative of the rose
A fruity, fine oil with a high Vitamin E content is obtained from its seeds, which preserves the youthfulness of the skin. Also high in unsaturated fatty acids, linoleic acid, linolenic acid and carotenoids.
