Uneven skin tone can result from several things.
Hormone Changes: Pregnancy or even when taking birth control can cause Melasma also called “the pregnancy mask” is a common skin problem during pregnancy, and it can give you an uneven skin tone. The imbalance in our hormones causes high melanin production, causing brown to gray-brown patches, usually on the face. Most women get it around the cheek area, bridge of the nose, forehead, chin, and right above their upper lip.
Sun Exposure: When you get too much exposure to the sun your skin produces excessive melanin. These pigments absorb UV rays, which causes damage to your skin cells, making the exposed areas darker than the rest. This also causes hyperpigmentation.
Hyperpigmentation: The skin may become a darker color if any part of your skin has sustained scarring caused by a condition like eczema or psoriasis.
Acne on your face is a leading cause of hyperpigmentation and can leave ugly scars behind.
Aging: As you age, you get age-related spots on your face and other areas.
Unfortunately, it is nearly impossible to combat issues like uneven skin tone unless you follow a proper skincare routine. No fear, there are things you can do to naturally correct this problem.
