class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Causes_An_Uneven_Skin_Tone\"><\/span><a><\/a>What Causes An Uneven Skin Tone?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are many factors that contribute to uneven skin tone, according to Dr. Green. These include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hormones\"><\/span><a><\/a>Hormones<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Dr. Green, hormonal fluctuations can cause an increased risk of hyperpigmentation, especially in the form of melasma. \u201cMany individuals may experience this while taking oral contraceptives or during pregnancy,\u201d she notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Genetics\"><\/span><a><\/a>Genetics<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For some people, an uneven skin tone is as simple as a genetic predisposition. \u201cIndividuals are more prone to uneven skin tone or hyperpigmentation based on their family history,\u201d Dr Green says. \u201cFor example, there is a strong hereditary component to the hyperpigmentation disorder melasma with half of the patients reporting a positive family history.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Skin_Tone\"><\/span><a><\/a>Skin Tone<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The tone of your skin might make you more likely to develop hyperpigmentation. \u201cIndividuals with darker brown skin are more likely to develop an uneven skin tone and hyperpigmentation since they naturally have more melanin,\u201d Dr. Green says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Laser_Damage\"><\/span><a><\/a>Laser Damage<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes, a dermatologist or other skin expert might use a laser treatment that isn\u2019t suited to your skin, which can lead to uneven skin tone. \u201cIf laser treatment is used on a skin tone that it is not well suited for, it can result in skin discoloration or hyperpigmentation,\u201d Dr. Green says. \u201cThis is often because the energy or heat of the laser is too high for a particular skin tone and your body reacts by increasing melanin production.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Steps_to_Even_Your_Facial_Skin_Tone\"><\/span><a><\/a>Steps to Even Your Facial Skin Tone<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What can I do to brighten my face? How can I fix discoloration on my face? How can I prevent uneven skin tone? Dr. Green shares some answers to these questions and steps you can take to help even out skin tone:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_1_Start_using_sunscreen\"><\/span><a><\/a>Step 1: Start using sunscreen<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before thinking about the steps you should take to even out your facial tone, start by using sunscreen to prevent further damage. \u201cAlways use sunscreen with an SPF of 30 and above daily and to reapply every two hours,\u201d Dr. Green says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_2_Use_a_vitamin_C_serum\"><\/span><a><\/a>Step 2: Use a vitamin C serum<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that inhibits melanin synthesis by downregulating the activity of the enzyme tyrosinase, Dr. Green says. \u201cThis will help fade hyperpigmentation that may appear as sunspots, age spots, and melasma.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_3_Try_a_retinol\"><\/span><a><\/a>Step 3: Try a retinol<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Known for its anti-aging benefits, retinol can help even out skin tone, too. \u201cRetinol inhibits the activity of tyrosinase which helps to lighten the skin while also improving the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, which can help make skin look more even.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_4_Consult_a_board-certified_dermatologist_to_discuss_cosmetic_procedures\"><\/span><a><\/a>Step 4: Consult a board-certified dermatologist to discuss cosmetic procedures<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re not getting the results you want from your skincare products, consider consulting a professional. \u201cConsult with a board-certified dermatologist. Several cosmetic procedures can help like the Cosmelan Peel, Fraxel Laser, AlexTrivantage Laser, Clear + Brilliant, Chemical Peels, and more,\u201d Dr. Green says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Other_Facial_Skin_Tone_Treatments\"><\/span><a><\/a>Other Facial Skin Tone Treatments<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are other things you can do to achieve an even skin tone on your face:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Natural_treatments\"><\/span><a><\/a>Natural treatments<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vitamin C serum is a great natural treatment option for uneven skin tone. \u201cAs a strong antioxidant ingredient, Vitamin C can combat the negative effects of harmful free radicals in the environment that contribute to the development of the signs of premature skin aging, including hyperpigmentation,\u201d Dr. Green says. \u201cVitamin C also helps to inhibit melanin production in the skin, thus brightening overall skin complexion. Additionally, Vitamin C plays a role in the synthesis of collagen in the skin. By promoting skin cell regeneration and inducing the production of collagen, vitamin C improves both the texture and tone of the skin.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lifestyle_Measures\"><\/span><a><\/a>Lifestyle Measures<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most important lifestyle measure you can take to even the skin tone on your face, Dr. Green says, is sun protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEveryone should wear sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or above regularly because it is one of the best and easiest ways to protect your skin from the sun\u2019s damaging ultraviolet radiation and prevent hyperpigmentation,\u201d she says. \u201cPregnant women, in particular, should be diligent in applying sunscreen regularly. During pregnancy, it is common for patients to suffer from a skin condition known as melasma. Melasma often results due to hormonal fluctuations and presents itself as patches of skin that are darker than the patient\u2019s natural skin tone. Sun exposure can worsen melasma and any hyperpigmentation so wearing sunscreen is especially important\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Medical_Procedures\"><\/span><a><\/a>Medical Procedures<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While you should always talk to your dermatologist about which procedures might be right for you, Dr. Green says chemical peels, laser treatments, and other procedures can be helpful when it comes to evening out skin tone. But as mentioned above, the wrong treatment can actually <em>worsen<\/em> hyperpigmentation\u2014so make sure to have a thorough conversation beforehand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Can_You_Prevent_an_Uneven_Skin_Tone\"><\/span><a><\/a>How Can You Prevent an Uneven Skin Tone?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The very best thing you can do to prevent uneven skin tone? It probably won\u2019t come as a surprise at this point, but you should apply sunscreen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe best thing you can do for your skin to prevent uneven skin tone from occurring or worsening is to apply sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or above daily and reapply every two hours,\u201d Dr. Green says. \u201cSunscreen is great for protecting against hyperpigmentation that is a result of sun exposure.
