Uneven Skin Tone – Causes & Care

Unprotected exposure to the sun’s harmful UV rays cause damage to the skin which can result in dark spots (also known as sun spots) and an uneven skin tone. Cumulative damage to the skin from sun exposure is known as photoaging and results in other signs of premature aging such as wrinkles.

Dry skin affects many people and can be caused by both internal and external factors. A lack of moisture in the skin can cause it to dry out which can lead to flaking, and roughness, which can cause the skin to appear uneven. Additionally, dry skin may look ashen and dull compared to non-affected areas.

As we age, the skin's natural processes can become less efficient, causing age spots to appear and contribute to an uneven skin tone².

To help improve an uneven skin tone appearance and visibly reduce the look of dark spots, incorporate a specially formulated serum into your skincare routine after cleansing.

Proper sun protection is essential in helping to prevent sun exposure-induced dark spots on the skin. By following the sun-protection guidelines below, it
may help prevent sun spots from reappearing on the skin that contribute to an uneven skin tone:

1. Avoid sun exposure at peak hours of the day when UV exposure is the strongest. Seek shade or stay indoors during the hours of 10am to 4pm to reduce exposure to harmful UV rays.
2. When spending time outdoors, seek shade when possible.
3. Wear protective clothing such as sunglasses, a wide-brimmed hat, long-sleeved shirts and long pants to minimize the amount of skin exposed to the sun.
4. For any skin that is exposed to the sun, apply broad-spectrum sunscreen, using as directed and re-applying regularly.
5. Use sunscreen daily year-round, even in colder months or on overcast days³.

Dry skin can contribute to uneven skin tone if dry skin becomes flaky or dull. In addition to using a daily moisturizer, drinking plenty of water helps to hydrate you from the inside out to help avoid dry skin due to dehydration.
