How to Achieve an Even Skin Tone
What is uneven skin tone?
Uneven skin tone is a very normal skin condition. One of the major causes of uneven skin tone is hyperpigmentation. Hyperpigmentation is when your skin produces too much melanin, a natural pigment known to create darker spots or patches on your skin.
If you look at your face in the mirror, do you notice any spots or patches? If these are darker than your normal skin complexion, it’s considered uneven. Now, apart from hyperpigmentation, other factors such as sun exposure, pollution and inflammation can cause uneven skin tone.
How do you get rid of uneven skin tone?
Getting rid of uneven skin tone is more of a process than an overnight success. There are both natural and unnatural ways to get a more even skin tone. Here are some useful ways to help you to your goal:
Know your skin type. Before you can learn how to treat your skin, you need to know this. Do you have either dry, combination, normal, sensitive or oily skin? Once you’ve answered this, you can begin your treatment process.
Create a doable skincare routine and stick to it. Your goal is to improve or remove your uneven skin tone, so find products that can assist with this. Lifebuoy with activated charcoal soap absorbs dirt and oil, leaving your skin looking clean and more even-toned.
Exfoliate your skin to get rid of dead skin cells and promote new skin cell formation.
Don’t forget to eat a clean and healthy diet to manage your uneven skin tone from the inside out.
Apply a makeup foundation or concealer to your dark spots and patches for instant “removal”.
Can I even my skin tone naturally?
Apart from skin peels and laser treatments, the simple and safer way to get even skin tone is through natural methods. Save these tips for when you’re re-looking at your skincare routine.
Invest in Lifebuoy Activated Charcoal and Mint soap. This is more than just a bar of soap; it contains activated charcoal – a super ingredient which acts as a magnet to draw out dirt and oil that blocks pores and causes pimples and dark spots. It detoxifies and helps get rid of patchy skin and uneven skin tones. If you are looking for a soap to help you with even-toned skin, this is the one.
Wear sunscreen. SPF is your skin’s best friend and while getting vitamin D is great for optimal health, it is a leading cause of uneven skin tone. Protecting your skin from sun exposure is the best way to protect your skin from discolouration.
Natural remedies, when used correctly, can even out your skin tone. Healthy eating and drinking water regularly play a huge role in keeping your skin healthy-looking with a natural glow. Increasing your intake of vitamin C with foods such as oranges, kiwis and strawberries, to protect against free radical damage and promote even skin tone.
