Skin tone remedies 

An uneven skin tone is a result of skin pigmentation which usually occurs because of excessive exposure to the sun. Your skin cells start producing a greater quantity of melanin and you might turn a much darker shade than before. What may also happen is that since not all cells react in the same manner, some cells may not produce melanin and may shut down.


The skin surrounding these cells turns white and leads to an uneven skin tone. Consult your dermatologist at once if you have pigmentation like this because these white patches are more vulnerable to cancer because they do not tan.

To prevent your skin from getting pigmented, you should ensure that you apply a generous amount of sunscreen if you are going to be out in the sun at lot.


Wear long sleeved cotton clothing that will protect your skin from the harsh sunlight. Ensure that you drink a lot of water and keep your skin hydrated. You can also rub a lemon over the area that is discoloured for 15 minutes. You can also mix some Vitamin E with some castor oil and apply in on the affected patches. Another home remedy that you can try is to mix a couple of tablespoons of milk powder with hydrogen peroxide and apply it on the pigmented skin. Allow it to remain for 20 minutes and then you can wash it off.
