Uneven skin tone can refer to a number of skin conditions that affect the overall appearance of the skin. For instance, you may have uneven skin tone if you’re experiencing melasma or hyperpigmentation. Alternatively, the skin condition, rosacea also causes uneven skin tone with patches of red ‘flushed’ skin. Other uneven skin tone examples could be as a result of overexposure to the sun, or because of an excess build-up of dead skin cells.
Uneven skin tone is a very common skin complaint, and can be caused by multiple factors. The most widely-experienced causes of uneven skin tone include:
• Rosacea • Melasma/chloasma • Hyperpigmentation • Hormonal changes • Overexposure to the sun • A build-up of dead skin • Your genetic makeup

Uneven skin tone can be a stubborn concern to fix, and it generally needs an extra helping hand in order to help shift it. Staying out of the sun, wearing a high SPF sun cream, exfoliating your face gently, and staying hydrated are all things you can do to help ensure you have the upper hand on uneven skin.
What food helps uneven skin tone?
A healthy diet is a great foundation for healthy skin. Look to foods such as fatty fish, avocadoes, broccoli, and sweet potatoes to help ensure you give your skin the right nutrients for success.
Is it normal to have uneven skin tone?
We’re used to seeing photoshopped images of perfect skin – on social media, in magazines, on posters. Perfect skin is everywhere, but it’s not the truth. Uneven skin tone is the truth, so yes, it’s entirely normal to have skin that differs in appearance from one area to another.
