Have you looked in the mirror lately and seen a tired-looking person staring back at you? That’s you with your skin at its worst. Dull skin tone has a way of sneaking up on us without us noticing. We are too caught up in our fast-paced lifestyles that we usually don’t check the condition of our skin.

Dull skin tone is just one of the initial signs of aging skin. It’s your skin’s way of saying it’s not healthy enough. If you want to fix this problem instantly, you should exfoliate. Let me tell you a couple of great ideas on how to exfoliate your skin:

1. Use nuts.

Walnuts contain a large amount of copper. Some of them even have whitening properties that can instantly make your skin look brighter. I highly recommend the almond nuts. Get about a half cup of fresh almonds and crush them with your food processor. Grind them until the consistency resembles that of salt particles.

Mix honey and 1/4 cup lemon juice. Moisten your skin first before applying this scrub. Massage the scrub gently in a circular motion. The almond nut particles will help remove dead skin cells. The other ingredients will work to make your skin smoother and more vibrant.

2. Try using pineapple

Unlike other exfoliating blends, pineapple actually works differently. It is one of the best sources of exfoliating enzymes. Contains Bromelain, a natural exfoliating enzyme that can help restore the strong structure of your dermis. Other exfoliants cannot effectively remove dead skin cells because those cells stick to the walls of skin pores. Exfoliating enzymes will help to gently break the bond that connects dead cells to the pores.

3. Apply raw tomato

Tomato extract is a good source of AHA peelers. They work well to exfoliate dead cells and facilitate the renewal of skin tissues so that old and damaged tissues can be replaced. Also, this treatment can help to lighten dark spots and scars on the skin.

After exfoliating, pat dry your skin and immediately apply your hydrating moisturizer. Make sure it contains CynergyTK and Phytessence Wakame. CynergyTK is an ingredient that has been extracted from sheep’s wool. It is a great source of keratin, the protein needed to produce more collagen. Phytessence Wakame is a type of seaweed that can hinder the rapid loss of hyaluronic acid. This acid is essential for the lubrication of collagen.
