What Is Uneven Skin Tone?

Uneven skin tone is a harmless and very common skin condition. Certain parts of your skin become darker than the rest, giving your skin an inconsistent color and a blotchy appearance. The patches of the skin become darker due to excessive melanin production in a particular area. There are several factors that can cause an uneven skin tone.

Causes Of Uneven Skin Tone

Your skin tone becomes uneven due to several reasons:

  • Sun Exposure: Who doesn’t love sun-kissed skin? But when the love affair with the sun gets too intense, your skin produces excessive melanin. These pigments absorb UV rays, which ultimately damage your skin cells, making the exposed areas darker than the rest. This also causes hyperpigmentation (1).
  • Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation: If any part of your skin has sustained wounds, the scar may get darker (2). This is called scarring. Acne on your face can also leave ugly scars behind.
  • Hormonal Changes: If you are pregnant or take contraceptives, the imbalance in hormones may cause high melanin production (3). This condition is called melasma, and it can give you an uneven skin tone. You may develop melasma if your skin reacts to certain cosmetic products or drugs.
  • Aging: As you age, you get age-related spots on your face and other areas.
  • Psoriasis: This is an autoimmune condition that can lead to the development of thick, raised, red patches with silvery scales. These patches may cause discoloration and uneven skin tone due to the accelerated production of skin cells and the subsequent inflammation (4).
  • Eczema: It is a skin condition that may lead to uneven skin tone due to inflammation and irritation. It causes red, itchy, and dry patches on the skin that can become discolored over time. Factors like genetics, environmental triggers, and a compromised skin barrier contribute to the development and persistence of eczema (5).
  • Fungal Infections: These infections may cause uneven skin tone by triggering various skin conditions. Tinea versicolor, for instance, leads to discolored patches (6).

These are some of the reasons for uneven skin tone. However, it may go away. Gibran Shaikh, a dermatologist, says, “Patience is key. It takes approximately 28 days for the skin to turn over, so any intervention requires at least one to two months to see results.”

Taking care of your skin is something that shouldn’t be an occasional affair. While these face masks can help you combat uneven skin tone, blemishes, and acne, embracing daily skin care practices is the only way to maintain great skin. Here’s a quick view of the things you need to do to fix an uneven skin tone.

Lifestyle Tips To Reduce Uneven Skin Tone

Adopt these healthy lifestyle habits to maintain a blemish-free skin:

1. Keep Your Skin Hydrated

Dry skin appears dull and lifeless. It makes your skin appear uneven. Keep yourself hydrated by drinking water at regular intervals. Opt for herbal drinks and flavored detox water.

2. Avoid Excessive Sun Exposure

Long-term exposure to sun rays may cause hyperpigmentation, tanning, and uneven skin tone. Use sunscreen before you step out. Also, avoid the sun during peak hours and try to stay under the shade.

3. Exfoliate Regularly

This is the best way to maintain an even skin tone. Exfoliation sloughs off the dead skin cells to reveal glowing and healthy skin.

4. Add Antioxidant-rich Foods To Your Diet

Consume more vegetables, whole grains, seafood, poultry, and low-fat dairy products. These foods provide your cells with all the essential nutrients and keep them healthy and give you a clear skin tone.

5. Exercise Regularly

Exercising is not only great for your body, but it also boosts circulation, tones your muscles and skin, and reduces skin-damaging stress.

Unless you follow a proper skin care routine religiously, it is nearly impossible to combat issues like uneven skin tone. A toner rebalances your skin, keeps it glowing, and gives it an even tone. A lot of these results depend on what type of toner you use. Let’s take a look at the types of toners.

Best Toners For Uneven Skin Tone

Toners essentially come in three variants:

  • Alcohol-free (contains glycerine and 0% alcohol)
  • Skin tonics (containing up to 20% alcohol)
  • Astringentsi  XThe property of a chemical in certain substances that help constrict body tissues and skin cells by drawing water out of them. (containing up to 60% alcohol)

Select a toner depending on your skin type:

  • If you have dry skin, alcohol-free toners are best for you. They are neither too harsh on the skin, nor do they dry the skin out. They do just what they are supposed to – maintain the pH balance of the skin.
  • For people with other skin types, skin tonics work better. These remove all traces of oil from the face. They help keep your face squeaky clean.
