Dull Skin

[flutterby_butterfly]

Hey!
I have pretty good skin, as in I don't get spots very often, and it is neither dry nor oily, but it looks really dull. I don't like wearing foundation, so I was wondering if anyone knows of any good products or anyway of brightening the skin. And for the products, bear in mind I'm a student with not a lot of spare cash .

Thanks

I would recommend an apricot scrub for bighteining the skin- St. Ives do a good range for lots of skin types.

Drink lots and lots of water! It's great for not only your skin, but also the rest of your body. You'll glow.

Netrogena, Physician Formula and many others.
