The beflattered team, all in their 40s, 50s and 60s have tried loads of great products. Read our take on products for Dull Skin and what’s best to brighten it up.
We believe that effective skincare is key to looking great and staying young.
We think that a good dermabrasion works wonders in removing all the dull old skin cells hanging around your face making you look old.
is a real dynamic duo that really loves to give dull skin the heave ho!
With Powerbrasion Intensive Crystals and a handset that rivals a professional treatment providing deep and effective exfoliation. Removing dead and dull skin cells and revealing a glowing complexion, then to further this Gamma Hydroxy™ , a day and night moisturiser continues the good work of ridding the skin surface of dullness and bringing through a gorgeous new glowing look to your skin.
Gamma Hydroxy™ was specifically developed to help treat the appearance of acne-scarring but this safe, gentle, poly-hydroxy blend of super exfoliating acids can also help to visibly reduce the appearance of open pores, pigmentation trouble areas, wrinkles, frown lines and dull leathery-looking skin. So an all round winner for younger looking skin. Visible results can be seen in as little as 3-6 weeks.
Or we also love a Glycolic Peel that is like a light lotion and does all the work for you. Our favorite peel to reveal a new radiant you is
This product gives you professional results of a non invasive chemical peel at home! It uses the same ingredients as professional peels used by cosmetic surgeons, but at a gentler concentration for gradual skin renewal. This unique 12-week program will gently and effectively slough away dead, dull skin to reveal fresh, bright, younger looking skin
A once a week treat with Vitamin C will help increases firmness and promote radiance for a more luminous and bright complexion.
The Extracts of Liquorice, Chamomile and Portulaca are all powerful anti inflammatory agents that help to refresh and sooth your skin bringing clarify and diminishing uneven skin tone.
Resurfacing the skin through topical creams also helps to iron out wrinkles and we think we’ve found some pretty good ones. SKIN.NY from America have two great products that in essence do the same one is just gentler than the other.
Radical Restructure Complex and Radical Daily Precision both contain QAL-100™ - uniquely this contains three highly active ingredients, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Co-Enzyme Q10 and Acetyl l Carnitine, together these work synergistically against the effects of ageing helping to make wrinkles less noticeable. This was also the first ingredient anti-ageing complex to be written about in the British Journal of Dermatologists- a real ground breaker claiming to contain molecules that are small enough to pass through to the dermis the skin's deepest layer. It is only at the dermis that you can truly alter the skin and affect real change.
Or if you prefer an organic product we like .
The key to the effectiveness of Organic Apoteke is the way the active ingredients are delivered to where they are needed in the skin. This is via multiple micro-emulsion technology.
Organic Apoteke’s unique active complexes, “wrapped” in eight layers of botanical oils and floral waters, are designed to unfold into the skin, infusing it with nutrients as they pass from layer to layer.
Its Pentapeptide Complex acts like a supplement to collagen and elastin, providing the building blocks required to maintain a healthy skin structure for firmer, wrinkle reduced, younger-looking skin.
And don’t let your hard work go to waste – from now on ALWAYS protect your skin from UV light. We like with UVA and UVB protection
A superb non greasy facial moisturiser from Skin Doctors that protects skin from the damaging effects of the sun and maximises the results of your cosmeceutical treatments.
We can remove dead skin cells and polish away the surface of the skin but the one thing a dull skin needs is to be brightened up and Skin Doctors Capillary Clear contains an ingredient that does just that - Phyllanthus Emblica™ is a patented extract from a plant native to tropical Southeast Asia. A pigment reducing agent which gives the skin a bright and even colour. It is also a potent anti-oxidant.
This also has Lactic Acid a type of Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) which increases the water-holding ability of the corneum layer of the skin, allowing for an improvement in fine lines and texture

The one thing that makes your skin glow is a suntan but it is also something that will in time banish your skin to the doldrums so we say FAKE IT! We think the best out there is Fake Bake Platinum Face Self Tan
Fake Bake has combined its award winning self-tan formula (containing premium DHA and Erythulose for longer lasting, natural looking results) with the latest anti-ageing ingredient - PhytoCellTecTM Malus Domestica, created from stem cells extracted from the rare Swiss apple Uttwiler Spätlauber. So a real double hit of colour and Anti Ageing so you can have your cake and eat it!
Beauty from Within
It’s well known that what you eat reflects in your skin – eat junk consistently and your skin will, over time show it. Even if you eat a reasonable diet, the nutrients in food cannot always be guaranteed, so taking a good Multi-Vitamin and Mineral supplement is good health and skin insurance. For general all round skin care from within we like a good dose of Flax Seed Oil, or chose a good ready made Organic Beauty Oil Complex to take internally every day.
With so much information around we know how easy it is to be confused so have a look at our Top Tips to Young Looking Skin or Anti Ageing Foods and see if we can make it a bit clearer for you.
