Tips to Get Rid of Uneven Skin Tone

Just looking at pictures of celebrities with great skin tone can make many people go green with envy. However, if you have an uneven skin tone, you already know how difficult it can be to get rid of it.

What is an uneven skin tone?

Skin tone is a mixture of lightness and darkness produced by your skin’s genetic pigmentation and latitude. Skin tones range from the darkest shades to the lightest tones, with numerous variations in between.

Uneven skin tone is a general term for any discoloration in the skin. It can make you less confident about your appearance and can also be embarrassing.

Causes of Uneven Skin Tone:

There are many factors that can cause uneven skin tone such as:

  1. Ageing
  2. Sun exposure or tanning bed use
  3. Dryness
  4. Hormonal imbalances
  5. Alcohol consumption
  6. Stress and fatigue
  7. Smoking and second-hand smoke exposure
  8. Medications like birth control pills, steroids, lithium and phenytoin (Dilantin)
  9. Wrong skincare products

Tips to manage uneven skin tone:

Finding ways to improve your skin's tone should be one of the most important things on your to-do list. Thanks to genetics and overzealous sun exposure in our youth, many of us now battle the signs of pigmentation and uneven skin tone. If you want those blotchy patches gone, try these tips that dermatologists recommend most often.

One of the most common skin problems is an uneven skin tone. This can be due to your genetics, sun exposure, or even stress. But there are ways to help get rid of it. Here are 5 tips to get rid of uneven skin tone.

  1. Cleanse your face every day

Cleansing your face is the first step in getting rid of uneven skin tone. It removes dirt and oil accumulated in your pores, which is one of the causes of uneven skin tone. It also keeps your skin clean, healthy, and hydrated.

  1. Exfoliate regularly

Exfoliating removes dead cells on the surface of the skin, making it look more even and bright. The best way to exfoliate is with a gentle scrub twice weekly in circular motions starting from the inside outwards towards the jawline and eyes (don't scrub too hard on sensitive areas). I recommend using products with jojoba beads as they are tiny enough not to damage your skin while still being effective at removing dead cells and getting rid of uneven skin tone!

  1. Use sunscreen

Sunscreen is one of the easiest ways to prevent uneven skin tone from happening in the first place. If you want to avoid getting dark spots on your face and body, use sunscreen every day. Choose a formula that has at least SPF 30 and UVA/UVB protection.

  1. Avoid stress inducing activities

Stress can have a negative effect on your overall health and well-being, which includes your skin. When you are stressed, your body releases cortisol and other hormones that cause inflammation in the body. This inflammation can lead to redness and breakouts on your face and other areas of your body.

  1. Eat healthy foods rich in vitamins A and C

Vitamin A is an antioxidant that helps reduce inflammation while vitamin C helps protect against free radical damage that may contribute to fine lines and wrinkles caused by UV exposure. Foods rich in vitamin A include carrots, sweet potatoes, spinach, and kale while vitamin C-rich foods include oranges, blueberries, peppers, and broccoli.

Before you embark on these tips to get rid of uneven skin tone, you need to make sure that it isn't caused by something serious. You should talk to your dermatologist first, but if you have tried everything and the problem persists, follow these simple tips to get rid of uneven skin tone.
