I have uneven skin tone

Uneven skin tone is often caused by hyperpigmentation, sun damage, post-acne marks, or dehydration. The key to improvement is brightening, exfoliation, and sun protection.


Causes of Uneven Skin Tone:

  • Sun Exposure – Triggers melanin production, leading to dark spots.
  • Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH) – Marks left after acne or irritation.
  • Dehydration & Dullness – Makes skin look uneven and patchy.
  • Hormonal Changes – Melasma (hormonal pigmentation) can cause uneven patches.
  • Lack of Exfoliation – Dead skin buildup can make skin look rough and uneven.

Step-by-Step Routine to Even Out Skin Tone

Rise & Shine

1. Take a Glutathione supplement. After a night's rest, morning glutathione supplementation can help kickstart nature's detoxification process. Glutathione inhibits melanin overproduction, and help lighten hyperpigmentation.
2. Cleanse.
– Use a hydrating cleanser with niacinamide or ceramides to prep the skin.
3. Niacinamide Serum (Optional) – Helps with redness, brightening, and strengthening the skin barrier.
5. Moisturizer (With Antioxidants & Hydration Boosters) – Look for sodium hyaluronate, sunflower seed oil, or peptides.
6. Sunscreen (SPF 30-50, Broad Spectrum)Non-negotiable! Protects against further pigmentation and damage.

Noon Refresh

Reapply sunscreen to prevent further hyperpigmentation.

Beauty Rest & Recovery

1. Double Cleanse (If Wearing Sunscreen/Makeup) – Use an oil cleanser first, followed by a gentle cleanser to remove all dirt and impurities and to prep skin to absorb as much of the other brightening ingredients in the next steps.
2. Exfoliate (2-3x per week, Alternate with Vitamin C)AHAs (lactic/glycolic acid), PHAs, or Azelaic Acid help fade dark spots and slough off the outer layer of dead skin cells to bring out the young skin underneath.
3. Use a Brightening Serum – Serums with Vitamin C (ethyl ascorbic acid is a good choice), Niacinamide, Licorice or Prune Extract, or Alpha Arbutin helps brighten skin and fade dark spots and discoloration.
4. Use Retinol (2-3x per week, if tolerated) – Boosts skin renewal, fades hyperpigmentation, and smooths texture.
5. Use a Moisturizing night cream – Look for ceramides, peptides, or tocopheryl acetate (Vitamin E) to nourish and restore.
6. Take a Glutathione Supplement. Glutathione can help reduce the production of melanin, which can lead to a more even skin tone and reduce the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation. Glutathione also is a powerful antioxidant, which can enhance the quality of skin.

Bonus Tips for a More Even Skin Tone:

Always Wear Sunscreen! – Sun exposure worsens hyperpigmentation.
Hydrate & Eat Antioxidant-Rich Foods – Green tea, berries, and leafy greens help from within.
Use a Brightening Face Mask (1-2x per week) – Look for Vitamin C, niacinamide, or licorice extract.
Be Patient – It takes weeks to months for noticeable improvement, so stay consistent!
