Many women have an uneven skin tone on their face and, although for the majority of women their uneven skin is hardly noticeable to the rest of the world, it can cause them to feel self-conscious about their physical appearance.
Did You Know?
An uneven skin tone on the face can be the result of various factors.A common cause is the overproduction of melanin in the body, the pigment that works to protect your skin against damaging UV rays. An excessive production of melanin, also known as hyperpigmentation, can result in an unflattering uneven skin tone across the body and face.
An uneven skin tone can also occur due to scarring of the skin caused by injury or acne or can even be due to something seemingly unrelated such as hormonal changes within the body.
An uneven complexion can cause many women to look tired and unhealthy and, often, women may feel so self-conscious about their skin tone that they do not feel confident enough to leave the house fresh-faced and free of makeup.
If you have an uneven skin tone and are looking for ways to correct it, then look no further. We believe that everyone deserves to feel comfortable in their own skin and have compiled a list of ways you can visibly reduce the appearance of the uneven skin tone on your face without paying a small fortune.

Firstly, you need to ensure that you are taking care of your skin and should adopt a good skin care regimen if you do not already have one. You should aim to cleanse, tone and moisturise the skin on your face twice a day and never go to sleep wearing makeup.
You should also exfoliate the skin on your face a couple of times a week using a gentle exfoliant to improve the overall appearance of your skin.
Use lemon juice when you are cleansing your face in order to lighten and brighten your complexion. As they contain citric acid, lemons act as a natural skin lightener and applying them to your face can help to even out skin tone, in addition to providing your skin with an excellent source of Vitamin C.
After you have removed any makeup you may be wearing, simply squeeze the juice from one lemon into a bowl and use a cotton ball to gently apply the lemon juice directly to your face, taking caution to avoid the area around your eyes.
Once the lemon juice has dried, rinse your face with warm water before cleansing and moisturising your skin as you normally would. Substitute lemon juice for your normal cleanser three times a week to even out your skin tone quickly and naturally.

Alternatively, you could try using milk to lighten your skin and even out your skin tone as it is considered to be a natural bleaching agent and will help to lighten and soften your skin.
Milk has played a crucial role in beauty regimes for centuries with many women frequently bathing in milk during ancient times to reduce the appearance of scars, blemishes and pigmentation.Even today milk can be found in many high street beauty products because its beta hydroxyl content acts as a natural exfoliant that can help to even out complexions.
To use milk to treat an uneven skin tone, you could apply two tablespoons of raw milk to your face using a cotton ball and leave it for twenty minutes before rinsing off with warm water. Use this milk mask twice a week before toning and moisturising your skin as you normally would see an improvement in your skin tone.
You could also use milk to make a facial cleanser that is so gentle that you could use it twice a day in place of your normal cleanser. Simply combine three tablespoons of milk with one tablespoon of honey and half a teaspoon of melted coconut oil and mix well before applying to your face. Rinse your face with warm water and pat dry before toning and moisturising your skin as you normally would.

Using a toner on your face after cleansing can really help to clean and brighten your skin, leaving it looking hydrated and healthy. Instead of spending a fortune on expensive toners, why not try making your own which will work wonders when it comes to minimising the appearance of an uneven skin tone.
Using apple cider vinegar in place of your regular cleanser will not only tighten your pores and help to fight the signs of ageing, but the antibacterial properties of apple cider vinegar will also help to clear up blemishes. In addition to all this, using apple cider vinegar on your face will help to even out the skin tone resulting in a complexion so radiant that you won’t even want to wear makeup.
Create an apple cider vinegar toner by simply making a solution consisting of one-half apple cider vinegar, which is available from most good supermarkets and is relatively inexpensive, and one-half water. Mix the solution well and apply to the face with a cotton ball twice daily after cleansing and before moisturising. Don’t be put off by the strong smell of the apple cider vinegar as this will disappear once the solution has dried.

In addition to cleansing and toning, the skin on your face twice a day you should also ensure that you regularly moisturise in order to keep your skin hydrated.
It may seem strange to place so much importance on moisturising when it comes to minimising the appearance of an uneven skin tone on the face. However, the dry and dehydrated skin will only emphasise an uneven skin tone as your skin’s overall appearance will be unhealthy and dull.
Ensure that you select an appropriate moisturiser for your skin type so that your own personal skincare needs are being met. Most brands now offer a range of different products based on whether your complexion is oily, dry or a combination of both.
Moisturisers with added properties and brightening ingredients such as milk, lemon and hibiscus are now also widely available so it is worth keeping an eye out for one of these to even out the skin tone and ensure a bright and beautiful complexion.

One effective way to visibly reduce the appearance of an uneven skin tone on your face is to regularly exfoliate the skin. Exfoliating helps to scrub away any dry or flaky skin, therefore using an exfoliator on your face two or three times a week will not only help to reveal a softer and brighter complexion but will contribute to unevening out the skin tone by removing any dead skin cells.

Making your own exfoliating sugar scrub could not be more simple, all you need to do is combine sugar granules with a little bit of water to form a paste before combining with a little bit of melted coconut oil or a small scoop of your favourite moisturiser.
Mix the ingredients together and, once combined, rub the homemade exfoliator onto your skin. Spend a couple of minutes gently massaging the mixture into your face before rinsing off with lukewarm water and patting dry.
If you use this sugar scrub two or three times a week after cleansing and before using your toner and moisturiser, you will notice a huge improvement in the appearance of your uneven skin tone within a matter of weeks.

Not only is it important to regularly moisturise your skin to achieve a healthy and radiant complexion, but it is also important to hydrate your skin from the inside out by ensuring that you drink enough water.
It is common knowledge that drinking water has a multitude of benefits but, despite this, a huge amount of people do not drink enough of it. Our skin is made up of almost 80% water; therefore, to achieve the healthy looking skin that we desire, we must ensure that it remains hydrated.
If a body is dehydrated on the inside,then it will look dehydrated on the outside and the skin will appear dull and lifeless. Thirsty skin will only emphasise an uneven skin tone. Therefore, you should aim to increase your water intake if you wish to improve the appearance of your skin.
Try to substitute sugary fruit juice and soda for water and alternate caffeinated hot drinks with herbal varieties to increase the amount of water you are drinking. You will be amazed at how quickly your skin’s appearance improves once you take this very simple step.

These treatments are now available at most good salons and work by removing the top few layers of damaged skin to reveal the glowing complexion underneath.These treatments are effective however they can be uncomfortable and, due to the nature of the treatment, you should ensure that it is performed by a licensed professional.
