It is not uncommon to have an uneven skin tone on the face or arms. This is mainly caused by overexposure to sunlight. Some areas of your skin might darken more than other areas and cause a blotchy appearance.

Scarred tissue, especially, reacts more to sunlight as compared to normal skin which makes the scarred areas appear darker. You will have to follow a regular skin care program to make sure that your skin tone is even.

You will need to use a sunscreen lotion to protect your skin from tanning unevenly.

Your sunscreen lotion should have UVA and UVB filters. Use your sunscreen lotion daily and make sure that you re-apply it as often as specified on the bottle. Do not remain outdoors between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. as this is when the rays of the sun will do the most damage. If you cannot avoid going outdoors, make sure that you wear a wide brimmed hat as this will protect your face.

Use a mild face wash at least twice a day to keep your skin clean and free of excess oil. After this, apply a little fresh lemon juice to your entire face, with the help of a cotton ball. Lemon juice is a natural bleach and will help to keep your skin tone even. Allow the lemon juice to dry completely and wait for at least 10 minutes before rinsing your face thoroughly. Do not go outdoors with lemon juice on your skin as it will react to sunlight and cause the skin to darken. You should also use a facial scrub to exfoliate your skin. This will help to get rid of the uppermost layer of dead skin and grime. You can use a cosmetic scrub or a homemade scrub for uneven skin. Mix a little honey, Bengal gram flour and fresh onion juice. Add a little sugar to this paste and apply it to your face. Use circular motions to gently scrub your skin and then wash it off with cold water. Bengal gram flour will help to even your skin tone while the onion juice helps to get rid of blemishes. Honey is a natural moisturizer and will also help to nourish your skin. Wash a raw potato and a cucumber thoroughly. Chop them up unpeeled into small pieces and blend them thoroughly. Apply this potato cucumber paste to your entire face and leave it on till it dries. Raw potato contains natural bleaching agents and will help to reduce any discoloration.
If this treatment does not show results with 2 weeks of daily usage, visit a dermatologist who will be able to examine your skin and give you an accurate diagnosis.
