How would you feel if your face were darker than your neck or your hands lighter than your legs? Terrible, I guess. That is the effect of uneven skin tone which is a result of sun exposure, age, medications, or hormones. However, there are natural remedies to help combat uneven skin tone or hyperpigmentation so need to fret anymore. They include:
1.Vitamin C
Vitamin C is an antioxidant and can protect against free radical damage that can cause tissue damage, resulting in uneven skin tone. Foods like oranges, guava, bell peppers, kiwis, strawberries have enough Vitamin C good for radiant and even skin.
2. Niacin
Niacin is a nutrient that’s essential for skin, hair, and nail health. It can help restore uneven skin tone, reduce wrinkles and brighten your complexion. Niacin can be found in foods like poultry, green peas and mushrooms.
3.Wich hazel
Witch hazel is soothing, with anti-inflammatory properties that may help reduce irritation and redness. You can either apply witch hazel directly to the skin, or find it in products such as lotions, toners, or soaps.
4. Rosehip
Rosehip oil may help reduce discolouration from inflammation. It is thought that the antioxidants it contains fight free radical damage and simultaneously boost collagen production. You can apply rosehip oil directly to the skin for maximum benefits.
5. Blackseed oil
Blackseed oil aka Nigella sativa oil may help treat skin infections thanks to its antibacterial and antifungal properties. It also has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that have the potential to help even out skin tone.
6. Glycolic acid
Glycolic acid can help treat scars, sun spots, age spots, and wrinkles. It works by penetrating the top layers of the skin with a chemical solution and causing it to exfoliate, revealing healthier new skin underneath.
7. Salicylic acid
Salicylic acid is an ingredient found in many acne treatments. Slightly milder than glycolic acid, it also exfoliates the outer layer of the skin to remove damaged skin cells. It can help treat acne, scarring and discoloration.
