Everybody dreams of having super smooth and evenly-toned skin with a natural, sun kissed glow.

Unfortunately, quite a few reasons can lead to uneven skin tone, which results in both an unhealthy and tired-looking complexion.

The main causes for an uneven skin tone, also known as skin discoloration, are pigmentation, pimples, acne, injury or overexposure to sunlight.

An individual can experience uneven skin tones (like dark or red spots) on legs, arms, back or even in their mouth area.

Probably the most common case is the aftermath of a sun burn; if you stay in the sun unprotected for too long, your skin will be burned and even when it heals you will notice that your skin tone has become uneven.

Even though there are countless skin products available for treatment, why not try your hand at some fantastic remedies for uneven skin tone?

Sometimes covering the effect with cream, foundation or makeup simply won’t help you treat the cause.

No matter if you’re Caucasian (light skin) or African American (dark skin) or anywhere in between, we are certain that you will enjoy these neat remedies.

Learn how to apply them, try one out and make your own skin product to heal your uneven skin tone naturally!

You could actually be causing your skin some serious damage and irritation by using the wrong products. For example, some products may contain harsh ingredients that could lead to irritation and further skin damage. But even if you’re using a product that’s meant for dry skin, it likely won’t also take into consideration that your skin is also sensitive and prone to wrinkles and discoloration. Any ingredients that you use on your skin can either have a positive or negative effect. Always ask a skin Analyst or a beauty Therapist to assist you.
