How to Even Out Skin Tone
Your skin’s tone – the natural color and pigmentation of your skin – is influenced by melanin production and characterized by the degree of variation of that pigment. An “even” skin tone has uniform coloration and minimal melanin variation, while an “uneven” skin tone has an overproduction or uneven distribution of melanin. We’re diving deeper into what causes unwanted changes to your skin’s complexion, what you can do to prevent further damage, and how you can fade existing dark spots. Melanin is a product of your genetic makeup, but it is easily influenced by factors such as sun exposure, hormonal changes, and environmental aggressors. As you might know from experience, these influences are known to cause uneven tone in the form of hyperpigmentation and dark spots.Sun exposure is a primary cause for most unwanted skin damage, so it’s no surprise that UV radiation can lead to uneven skin tone. To prevent pigmentation irregularities, wear a broad-spectrum or mineral sunscreen daily – reapplying every few hours. This is phenomenal prevention at any and every age.Regular exfoliation helps to slough off dead skin cells and promote turnover, revealing new, more evenly pigmented skin beneath. When it comes to product section, our experts say to avoid scrubs and physical exfoliants which can lead to micro-cuts and potential further dark spots. Instead, opt for a chemical exfoliant, such as an AHA like glycolic or lactic acid. Be cognizant of your skin type, and don’t overdo it. While we don’t usually think of dark under-eye circles as a melanin related issue, it’s actually true that this natural pigment can accumulate in the orbital area. Thus, it’s important to take care of dark circles and discoloration around the eyes if you’re concerned about an uneven complexion. The most straightforward way to rejuvenate, de-puff and brighten under eyes is with caffeine and natural retinoids – both naturally occurring in the precious ingredients that form The Luminary Eye Cream.
