Uneven Skin Tone

Overview

Uneven tone often combines residual pigmentation, redness and rough texture. A layered plan targeting each component gives the best result.

Common symptoms

  • Dark patches

    Areas of darker pigment than surrounding skin.

  • Skin texture change

    Roughness, bumpiness or loss of smoothness.

Why it happens

Sun exposure, post-inflammatory changes, dehydration, barrier damage and over-exfoliation.

Self-care that helps

Simplify your routine, exfoliate no more than twice weekly and use vitamin C in the morning with SPF.

When to seek advice

Speak to a professional if home care has not improved tone after three months.
