Dry or dull skin can leave your complexion looking tired, uneven, or lacking its usual radiance. It often feels tight, rough, or flaky, and makeup may not sit as smoothly as it once did.

At LUSH, we understand how much this can affect not just how your skin looks, but how it feels. Our focus is on repairing the skin barrier and supporting its ability to retain moisture, so your glow comes from genuine health, not temporary shine.

Dryness and dullness can develop for many reasons, from environmental stress to changes in skin function. Common factors include:

• Loss of moisture due to cold weather, heating, or harsh cleansers
• A weakened barrier, preventing the skin from retaining hydration
• Dehydration or nutrient imbalance, leaving the skin flat and fatigued
• Sun exposure and pollution, which accelerate dullness and damage
• Ageing and reduced oil production, which make the skin appear less supple

There’s an essential difference between dry and dehydrated skin, and understanding which one you’re experiencing helps us choose the right treatment and products for you.

• Dry skin is a lifelong condition caused by a lack of oil. It often feels rough, flaky, or tight and may need richer, lipid-based support to stay comfortable and supple.

• Dehydrated skin is a temporary lack of water that can happen to any skin type, even oily skin. It may look dull, feel tight, or show fine dehydration lines, even when there’s visible shine on the surface.

By identifying the difference, we can target the true cause of imbalance, restoring softness, glow, and lasting hydration.
