Some of our favorite serums that include this hydrating ingredient is the <strong>Grown Alchemist Brightening Serum<\/strong> and <strong>Kate Somerville\u00ae\u00a0Kx Active Concentrates Squalane + Hyaluronic Serum<\/strong>. Use the serum daily to help improve the skin&#8217;s radiance and luminosity.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Drink more water<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>We know this goes without saying, but we had to share this tip to drive the message home. Lack of hydration is one of the biggest causes of dull skin and while it&#8217;s important to use hydrating skin care products, you should start with the basic step of drinking more water. After all, you are what you eat &#8212; or in this case, drink).<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Double-cleanse<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Boosting your skin&#8217;s complexion might be a simple as incorporating double-cleansing into your routine. &#8220;Improper cleansing [leaves you with] impurities, dirt, and oil on your skin. That causes dullness and oxidation. Introduce a single and double-cleansing system to remove deep impurities,&#8221; says Jeremy Muijs, founder and CEO of Grown Alchemist. Before cleansing, use a pre-soaked wipe like the\u00a0<strong>BLAQ Dual Sided Wipes\u00a0<\/strong>to gently remove any impurities. Then, follow up with a cleanser to wash away the rest of the day. We recommend the\u00a0<strong>dr. brandt\u00ae Pores\u00a0No More Cleanse<\/strong>r or the <strong>Grown Alchemist Gentle Gel Cleanser<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Do a quick work out<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Have you ever heard of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.self.com\/story\/working-out-skin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">post-workout glow<\/a>?
