Gray skin treatment conjures up that glow
The main goal of the treatment against gray skin is to improve blood flow. If you do nothing, you will get wrinkles, sagging or even rosacea or rosacea at a much younger age. Good blood circulation ensures the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the cells. As a result, the skin absorbs nutrients much better from the skin products you use. The skin will look healthier and regain its natural glow.
At Beauty Unlimited Amsterdam we have the best treatments aimed at a gray skin color. We are also happy to tell you what you can do yourself with a customized treatment plan!

How does dull, gray and tired skin develop?
The dull gray skin is also called a smoker's skin because it is common among smokers.
The biggest problem with dull skin is poor circulation. This can be caused by smoking, for example. Smoking causes blood flow to decrease and dead skin cells to accumulate. This causes collagen to break down faster, causing wrinkles to appear faster. If you leave these dead skin cells in place, the light is reflected less well on the skin, resulting in a dull gray skin that makes you look tired.
Lack of sleep can prevent your skin from functioning properly and not giving it time to recover. This happens at night. If your skin doesn't have enough rest for this, your skin will look tired. Furthermore, an unhealthy lifestyle affects your skin. If you eat a lot of sugars or your Omega 3 Omega 6 balance is not in order, this will disrupt the connections of collagen and elastin. As a result, the skin becomes thinner and weaker and it becomes tired. Drinking alcohol dries out your skin. Collagen production is also slowed down. This in turn causes too dry, thin skin that will look dull in the long run. Drinking too little water also plays a major role in this. The less moisture there is in the skin, the weaker and grayer the skin becomes.

Our 16 tips to make dull skin disappear like snow in the sun
- Drink 2 liters of water a day.
- Use a day cream with spf 30 or spf 50 every day. UV radiation causes premature skin aging. Therefore, protect your skin every day. We are big fan of pH Formula with SPF 50You can easily take this with you in your handbag and protect your skin against much more than UV radiation.
- Get enough sleep. A lack of sleep can prevent your skin from recovering sufficiently and can lead to certain skin problems, such as color loss.
- Reduce eating sugars and drinking alcohol.
- Stop smoking. When you smoke, your collagen breaks down faster. This causes premature skin aging. It also deteriorates the blood flow, which in turn causes little color in the face, dullness.
- Avoid stress, take your rest where you can. Under the influence of stress, your body produces the hormone cortisol. This disrupts the hormone balance. This can manifest itself in pimples, irritation, dullness, moisture loss and premature skin aging.
- Use an exfoliant based on glycolic acid or salicylic acid once or twice a week to remove dead skin cells.
- Use case products with Vitamin C . Vitamin C makes the skin glow again. It also stimulates the production of collagen and inhibits hyperpigmentation.
- Eat oily fish or salmon 2 to 3 times a week. This ensures that the moisture stays in the skin better. It keeps the skin supple. It also helps to protect the skin against harmful external influences. If you eat little oily fish, we recommend Pure fish oil with vitamin D
- Drink lots of green tea, as it contains a lot of antioxidants. They protect the skin against UV damage and slow down the aging process.
- Broccoli, strawberries and cranberries are also recommended. These are also high in antioxidants.
- If you've taken a hot shower, it's best rinse your face with cold water. This improves blood flow. This is also recommended for your whole body!
- Activate your skin's blood circulation yourself by massaging your skin a little firmer a few times a week. Do this with circular movements, until the skin feels a bit warmer.
- Exercise regularly. Exercise dilates the blood vessels, resulting in more oxygen supply. This makes your skin healthier.
- Uses 100% mineral makeup. For example from Youngblood. This make-up protects, cared for and works on the recovery of the skin.
- Always remove your make-up and cleanse with a soap-free cleanser both morning and evening. If you don't do this, all the dirt from the make-up and harmful substances from the outside will remain on your skin. As a result, the products you apply do not or hardly work. The skin condition is getting worse and worse.
What not to do!
- Do not use a scrub but an exfoliant, but an exfoliant like AHAs or BHAs. A scrub is not bad for the skin, but in these cases it is better to use an exfoliant. This is because otherwise the skin can become thinner and more sensitive.
- Avoid products with irritants such as lavender and witch hazel.
- Avoid products with perfume. Perfume can irritate and dry out the skin.
- Avoid products with alcohol. Alcohol dries out.
- Do not perform a connective tissue massage on your face yourself. Leave this to the specialist. If you don't know what you're doing, you can cause skin shifts. This actually causes relaxation.
- Don't go to tanning bed. This gives you a nice tan, but the skin condition only gets worse. The radiation from the tanning bed makes the skin thinner, older and can cause pigmentation disorders. Alternative, Marc Inbane Natural Tanning Spray
