What is the feeling when your skin is feeling "dull"?

Numb?

The only times I’ve heard skin described as dull is when discussing beauty products or skin care routines. Like when skin looks less soft, shiny, or vibrant?

Generally, we use the word “dull” in a context of *beauty* when we’re using it to describe the condition of our bodies. Your hair can be dull. Your eyes can be dull. Your skin can be dull — meaning that it doesn’t appear shiny or healthy or well-groomed, perhaps. But “dull” generally always refers to that body part’s *appearance*. Did you mean “numb?” That is the word we generally use to describe a *feeling* equating to a loss of sensation, etc.

What?

What makes your skin feel dull? What situation are you describing? I don't understand

Drab. 

Dull would be more an appearance than a feeling. Can you be more specific with your explanation?

I've never heard of nor have I experienced this. Can you explain?

They probably mean numb, it’s used in the same sense as “dull the pain” or they might mean their skin is not shiny idk

What specific sensation/quality are you trying to describe here? Could you provide a description in your L1?

Could you perhaps mean clammy?

parched, lifeless, badly needing rejuvenation?

It feels unhealthy. Rough, unkempt, and not glowing

In the context of beauty it means “lifeless” or “flat”. She’s saying the product makes her skin look glowy.

Do you mean pins and needles?

I would say people don’t say it like that.

Like aesthetically or medically? Aesthetically you could say "lifeless," "pale," "ashen," or "sickly."

Dull?

Dry (?)
