Night cream for dull skin: a simple routine that works

For dull skin, use a moisturising night cream with niacinamide and an antioxidant such as glutathione, cleanse gently, sleep enough and wear sunscreen every day. Most people see fresher-looking skin within two to four weeks of steady use.

Why skin looks dull

• Dryness and a weak moisture barrier
• Sun exposure and tanning
• Too little sleep, stress and dehydration
• Harsh scrubbing that irritates the skin

What to look for in a night cream

• Niacinamide for smoother, more even-looking skin
• Glutathione, an antioxidant used in creams for a radiant-looking complexion
• Moisturising base so skin feels soft by morning

The routine

Night: mild cleanser, then a pea-sized amount of night cream.
Morning: mild cleanser, a light cream, then sunscreen.

Drink water, sleep seven to eight hours, and skip harsh scrubs.
