1. Wash your face with cold water
Washing your face with cold water first thing in the morning is the simplest way to wake up your tired skin. The cold water increases blood circulation around your face and helps get rid of dull skin. After soaking your face with cool water, wash it with the Simple Kind To Skin Refreshing Facial Wash. This gentle, clean face wash helps revitalise and nourish your skin by removing dirt and impurities from your pores. Infused with pro-vitamin B5 (hydrates), vitamin E (soothes) and triple purified water (cleanses), this soap-free face wash is perfect for all skin types, especially sensitive skin.
2. Turn to a tinted moisturiser
Lack of hydration is one of the biggest reasons for dull skin in the morning. That’s why you need a nourishing moisturiser in your arsenal. Better yet, we suggest turning to an illuminating moisturiser like the Lakmé Lumi Cream. This lightweight moisturiser comes with a hint of highlighter that gives your skin a beautiful 3D glow! Infused with vitamin C, B6, B3 and hyaluronic acid in its formula, this cream moisturises your skin and lends a radiant glow to it. It’s basically the BFF your skin always needed!
3. Add Vitamin C serum to your morning routine
Vitamin C serums help improve the elasticity of your skin and make it plump and bright. So, add the Pond’s Bright Beauty Vitamin C Face Serum to your morning skincare routine and see your skin glow. It has Vitamin C extracted from lemon, green papaya and pomegranate, which helps moisturise, improve texture and leaves you with a bright, even skin tone.
4. Spritz rose water on your face
An age old technique to get your skin to glow is spraying rose water on your face! Packed with antioxidants, rose water soothes and hydrates your skin and helps reduce redness and puffiness from your face in the morning. Also, thanks to its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, it helps prevent acne breakouts too.
5. Don’t ditch the sunscreen
Without a doubt, sun damage is one of the biggest causes of dull skin. That’s why adding a good sunscreen like the Lakmé Sun Expert Tinted Sunscreen 50+++ SPF to your morning routine is a sure shot way of getting rid of dull skin in the morning. This tinted sunscreen helps protect your skin from premature ageing, sunburn and dark spots. The cucumber and lemongrass in its formula cools and hydrates your skin, while also balancing its oil level. Plus, it’s non-sticky and non-greasy and doesn’t leave an annoying white cast.
