Skincare Uneven tone: Brighten, Balance and Reveal Radiance
Uneven skin tone can show up as dullness, blotchiness, post-acne marks, sun spots, or areas of discoloration. Whether you're dealing with pigmentation from sun exposure, hormones, or inflammation, the right skincare routine can help restore clarity and an even, radiant glow.
Key Factors That Contribute to Uneven Skin Tone
Sun damage and UV exposure
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (e.g., acne scars)
Sluggish cell turnover
Dehydration and skin texture issues
Hormonal changes (melasma)
How to Combat Uneven Skin Tone
To improve skin tone, look for ingredients that:
- Inhibit melanin overproduction (e.g., arbutin, kojic acid)
- Speed up cell turnover (e.g., gentle exfoliants like retinol)
- Hydrate and brighten (e.g., Vitamin C, niacinamide)
- Always protect your progress with SPF daily
