As we get older, our juicy young cells can transform into tired older ones, meaning that our natural cell turnover tends to get slower. What could be a 28 day turnover cycle in our teens and twenties, can change to over 56 days as we reach our fifties. This slow down can leave the skin looking tired and dull.
Ageing isn’t the only reason why your skin might not be as bright as it once was. It could be skin health related, diet, not removing your make-up, gut health, lifestyle, the wrong skin products, too much exfoliation, or not enough of the right kind of exfoliation, smoking, medication, lack of water intake, poor oxygen supply to the skin, your work and home environment and stress.
