How To Fix An Uneven Skin Tone

Unfortunately, an uneven skin tone is often caused by things that are beyond your control. That said, there are certain things you can do to lessen their impact. Hyperpigmentation is the biggest cause of an uneven skin tone and is often caused by sun exposure, so staying out of the sun and applying a high SPF sun cream can help.

Using a gentle exfoliating scrub on a regular basis is a great way of maintaining a healthy, even skin tone. Exfoliation takes off debris and dead skin cells from your face to reveal glowing skin. Simply massage into your skin and rinse off. Take care not to exfoliate too aggressively, though as this might disturb your skins natural equilibrium and cause further problems. If an uneven skin tone is a concern for places on your body, other than your face, try exfoliating gently with a buffer or exfoliating gloves.

Remaining adequately hydrated is crucial for your skin health. Dry skin, which lacks moisture, can appear dull and lifeless and will only emphasize an uneven skin tone. Keep your skin hydrated by drinking water at regular intervals during the day.

If you’re prone to spots and breakouts, you’re probably no stranger to the blemishes they can leave behind. Whilst you might be tempted to give your skin a break, make sure you continue with your moisturising regime. Keeping your skin clean, moisturised and hydrated will only be beneficial. If your skin is dehydrated, it can overcompensate for this and might produce more sebum than it would usually. More sebum means more spots and more spots means more blemishes left in their wake. Try a light moisturising day cream for essential topical hydration or an effective face serum. Don’t forget to moisturise everywhere, including your body and hands, and not just your face.
Be sure to cater the products you use to your skin type, using deeply hydrating products for dry skin and oil-free products for oily skin. To help fight uneven skin caused by ageing, use anti-ageing products such as our innovative Q10 range to help fight issues of age-related dark spots, fine lines and wrinkles.

If you are able to stay fit and healthy, by exercising regularly, this will hopefully be reflected in your skin. Plus, there is a combination of other positive benefits you get from exercise which you might not even know you’re getting, which should make you feel great. In fact, if you’ve been worrying or feeling frustrated about your skin, this should really help you to smile and feel beautiful regardless. Enjoying a healthy lifestyle will also help work wonders on fixing uneven skin tones. Make sure to eat clean and healthy foods that support the body, being sure to fill your diet with dark leafy greens and lots of anti-oxidants. Make sure to exercise as well, to help regulate hormones, release endorphins and give the body a good sweat and workout.
