Why is my skin tone uneven?
Uneven skin tone, or hyperpigmentation, is simply irregular darkening of the skin. It’s due to an overproduction of melanin, which is the pigment responsible for your skin and hair colour. Hyperpigmentation creates dark patches and spots on your skin that typically look ‘aged’ and can therefore make you appear older than you actually are. In terms of what causes uneven skin tone, there are many different factors:
- Sun exposure: When you repeatedly expose your skin to UV light, it produces more melanin to help protect your skin against the UV. Brown spots and uneven skin tone develop as a result.
- Pollution: Air pollution particles are so small that they can easily penetrate your skin and end up causing brown spots, particularly on your face.
- Hormones: Melasma is hormone-related hyperpigmentation caused by increased production of melanin.
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation: This is a darkening of the skin as a result of scarring, which can be caused by acne.
