Cleansing helps remove the dirt, oil, and grime that have accumulated on the surface of your skin, which can cause it to look lifeless and dull. However, there are times when a single cleansing isn't enough to ensure that all the dirt or makeup residue that was left behind on the surface of your skin has been completely removed. This is where the practice of double cleansing comes into play.
Take Precautions Against the Sun
You can continue to take part in all of your favorite activities outside; however, you should make sure to protect yourself. Always apply sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 30 or higher, reapply sunscreen after prolonged exposure to the sun, and wear sunglasses that block UVA and UVB rays.
Consume Only Nutritious Foods
According to research done, antioxidants assist the body in its fight against disease by lowering the risk of potential damage and inflammation. The development of wrinkles is influenced by this process as well. Think about increasing your daily consumption of foods that are high in antioxidants, such as spinach, raspberries, blueberries, pomegranates, and green tea.

Your skin cells will be damaged by UV rays, and the uneven surface of your skin will mean that it will not "reflect the light very well, hence there will be no glowiness," according to Dr. Shamban. Applying sunscreen every day should therefore become an integral part of your morning routine.
Moisturize
In addition, while you are already applying cream to your face, you should also make sure that you moisturize it. If you want to avoid having dull skin, you should moisturize your face at least once per day with a good product. Double moisturizing, as recommended by Dr. Gohara, is one way to provide your skin with an additional dose of hydration.

Blend together some fuller's earth, some pure rose water, some neem powder, and a little bit of camphor powder. Use this mask on oily skin, and then wash it off once it has dried. This will assist in the treatment of acne, lessen the oiliness of the skin, and bring the skin back to its natural pH balance.
