Why has my skin lost its glow?

Dull and Dehydrated Skin Treatment in St Ives

Dull, tired-looking skin is usually a sign that it is dehydrated, not renewing as quickly as it used to, or both. The aim is healthy skin that reflects light again.

Dull and dehydrated skin

As we get older, the skin holds less water, makes less collagen and sheds its outer layer more slowly. Add sun exposure, central heating, stress, poor sleep or hormonal change, and skin can start to look flat, rough and tired even if you have no particular lines.

Profhilo and skin boosters work from within by delivering hyaluronic acid into the skin, where it attracts and holds water. They improve hydration, bounce and radiance without changing your features. Profhilo spreads through the skin for an overall improvement, while skin boosters can be used more precisely in specific areas.

Polynucleotides and exosomes are regenerative treatments that support the skin's own repair processes. They are often chosen by people who want healthier, stronger skin over time rather than an instant change.

Where dullness comes from uneven tone, sun damage or rough texture, light and energy treatments can help. Lumecca Peak IPL evens out pigment and redness for a brighter, clearer complexion, and Morpheus8 Burst renews texture and firmness from deeper in the skin.

For a quicker refresh, a Profacial hydrofacial cleanses, exfoliates and hydrates in one session and gives a noticeable glow, which makes it a good choice before an event or as regular maintenance. The integrated lymphatic light treatment combines lymphatic drainage with LED light and can help skin that looks puffy or tired.

Improvements in hydration and glow build gradually, and they last longest when supported by good skincare and sun protection at home.
