How To Get Rid Of Uneven Skin Tone?

 

WHAT CAUSES UNEVEN SKIN TONE?

Hyperpigmentation is the most common cause of uneven skin tone and texture, which is due to excess melanin production in the skin. Another common skin condition is melasma, which causes brown, tan, or greyish discoloration of the skin. Usually, these patches are formed on the forehead, cheeks, bridge of the nose, and above the upper lips. But they can also be caused on the other parts of the body such as the forearms and neck. 

Now, what is melanin?

Melanin is a natural skin pigment. Hair, skin, and eye color in people and animals mostly depends on the type and amount of melanin they have. Special skin cells called melanocytes make melanin. Everyone has the same number of melanocytes, but it's just that some people make more melanin than others. The 

amount of melanin your body makes depends on your genes. If your parents have a lot or else a little bit of skin pigment, you might have it too. When you are in the sun, your body makes more melanin. It helps to protect the body from harmful UV rays. But again that's not enough to keep your skin from the sun.
