The Rice Polish: Gentle

Dull skin can affect anyone, no matter your skin type or age.  To treat dullness, it’s helpful to first uncover the root cause, whether that be under-exfoliating, over-exfoliating, environmental stress, dehydration, and more.  From there, choose skin brightening products like a clever exfoliant, a multi-purpose antioxidant serum, and a reparative moisturizer, and apply them correctly An antioxidant serum, particularly one boosted with vitamin C, is the most helpful skincare product for brightening dull skin. Look for a formula that touts clinical studies, comes in airtight packaging (to ensure the formula stays potent), and doesn’t irritate your skin. 

Glutathione is a powerhouse antioxidant naturally found in the body, known for its ability to fight free radicals, brighten skin, boost collagen, and reduce inflammation.  As we age, our natural levels of glutathione decline, leading to visible signs of aging like wrinkles, loss of elasticity, and hyperpigmentation.  When applied topically, glutathione helps even skin tone, support skin firmness, and soothe inflammation, making it suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin.  It pairs well with other brightening ingredients like vitamin C, enhancing their stability and effectiveness.  A high-quality glutathione serum, like The Brightening Serum, delivers both instant hydration and long-term radiance, making it a must-have for a glowing complexion.

Oil-based cleansers dissolve makeup, sunscreen, and excess oil while moisturizing the skin. Water-based cleansers remove dirt and impurities using ingredients that dissolve in water. For a deep, gentle and hydrating clean, we recommend a double-cleansing method, using an oil-based cleanser first to remove buildup, followed by a water-based cleanser for a deeper clean.  Both cleansers suit various skin types, and selecting the right cleanser depends on your skin type and needs.
