Regenerate a lackluster skin

When looking in the mirror, in the morning as soon as you wake up or in the evening before going to sleep, we can only see the signs of tiredness, anxiety, stress and an unregulated diet, then it's really time to run for cover. Skin without radiance is defined as dull, greyish, uncared-for and smooth-looking epidermis. If you're breaking down and about to put down the hatchet, don't give up! The causes of tired skin can be many, but there are some tricks that will restore radiance to your face.

Why do I have dull skin?

As already mentioned, the reasons can be found in different areas of our lives, including:

• The city of origin, or the percentage of concentration of smog and pollution in general; it is clear that the higher the rate of unclean air, the more our skin (and not just the skin…) will suffer clear consequences of premature aging and so on
• Living and working in always sunny environments (such as near the sea) without the daily use of a regular protection that protects us from harmful UV rays to the epidermis and the body in general
• Staying for long periods and daily in closed environments with recycled and unclean air (air conditioners and stale air) typical of offices or factories. The skin 'breathes' like and more than our lungs and needs fresh air, at least from time to time
• Don't worry about thoroughly cleansing your face both in the evening and in the morning, preferring a delicate product that adapts perfectly to the type of our dermis, which can be oily, mixed or dry. Make-up should always be removed carefully and from time to time you can also use a specific scrub that is not too aggressive
• Feeding superficially, using junk food and not feeding on all the essentials (vitamins and minerals) that the skin needs so much. It has been known for many years now that a careful choice of foods to put on the table determines big differences on our health in general and also in the aesthetic aspect of the body and skin

How our skin is made

The integumentary system covers our entire body and the outermost part is called the epidermis. The skin performs various functions, not only of protection, but also of thermoregulation, secretion and sensory activity. In the epidermis there are billions of cells in continuous evolution and reproduction that move from the innermost layer to the outermost layer and then detach themselves definitively from our body. In the different layers, we find cubic cell keratinocytes, composed of keratin filaments, polyhedral cells with tonofibrils and proteins, squamous cells rich in keratin and ketohyalin, and dying lamina cells.

How to treat lifeless skin

To give a boost of energy and vitality to our epidermis, Herbalife has created the linea SKIN, or a set of products useful for skin rejuvenation by also taking advantage of vitamin E which constantly fights against free radicals.
