Can you ladies suggest how to brighten a dull face? My facial skin looks undernourished and dull these days. No other issues. yes, I do exfoliate once a week or so.
Any tips?

Vitamin E face cream.. and a heavy duty conditioning mask! Oatmeal, almond oil, olive oil.. wheatgerm oil.. avacado oil.. are all GREAT conditioners
Skin looks dull when it's undernourished Nikky
Remember to massage u're face with whatever cream u use.. to stimulate cell -production and distribute melanin!
NO harsh toners/astringents please.. and don't steam either.
Some days are a complete waste of make-up!

Niks...here's a tip for applying moisturizer. After washing your face...don't dry your face too completely. Let it be a little damp...and then apply moisturizer. The slight dampness/water will help your skin absorb the moisturizer better so that it can make better use of it.
And drink plenty of water and eat fresh fruits and veggies. A scrub can help exfoliate and brighten a complexion as well. You can get the commercial kind or use a natural one (such as oatmeal), or you can even scrub your face with a little olive oil and sugar....and then wash with water.

I was going to suggest what laalmakhmal has......your diet.
What has changed in your diet that your skin is this way?
Are you drinking enough water? Eating enough fruits and vegetables (uncooked)?
What we do to our skin from the outside is not as effective as what we put inside our bodies. The sun and other factors can impact pigmentation but even dark skin can look healthy and vibrant if your diet is well balanced.

honey with a bit of lemon juice in it, brings such a glow to the face.
Choose your battles wisely.
Not everyone is worth wasting time over.

Thanks all of you, yes even the gentlemen who tried to help
I guess, I haven't been eating right. That does affect things. And I will definitely try out all the other things you all have recommended.
