Dry, Rough, or Dull Skin: Symptoms, Causes and Treatments

Revitalise your skin with bespoke treatments at Elevate Medical Aesthetics. Our advanced solutions target dryness, roughness, and dullness to restore a smooth, radiant, and healthy complexion.

What is Dry Skin?

Dry skin occurs when the skin lacks sufficient moisture or oil, often resulting in a rough, tight, or flaky texture. This condition is typically caused by environmental factors, ageing, genetics, or improper skincare habits.

Overuse of exfoliants or the wrong type of moisturiser can exacerbate dryness by further compromising the skin’s natural barrier, leading to increased moisture loss.

What is Dull Skin?

Dull skin is characterised by a lack of radiance and vitality, often appearing tired, lacklustre, or uneven. It can affect all skin types and is influenced by factors such as dead skin cell buildup, dehydration, poor circulation, sun damage, and environmental pollutants.

Understanding the underlying cause is essential for developing an effective treatment plan tailored to restore brightness and evenness to your complexion.

Symptoms of Dry, Rough, or Dull Skin

  • Rough, flaky, or tight skin texture.

  • Lack of radiance or brightness in the complexion.

  • Uneven skin tone or texture.

  • Visible dryness despite regular moisturising.

  • Skin that feels irritated or looks tired.

Causes of Dry, Rough, or Dull Skin

  • Environmental Factors: Harsh weather, pollution, and indoor heating can strip the skin of moisture.

  • Ageing: Natural loss of collagen and elastin reduces hydration and radiance.

  • Dehydration: Insufficient water intake can make the skin appear dull and dry.

  • Poor Skincare Habits: Over-exfoliating or using unsuitable products can worsen skin issues.

  • Sun Damage: UV exposure accelerates skin damage, leading to dryness and uneven tone.
