An uneven skin tone, or hyperpigmentation, can add as many years as your face as having lines and wrinkles. The term hyperpigmentation covers everything from sun spots, liver spots and dark freckles to larger areas of discolouration, caused by excess melanin production.
Melanin is what gives skin and hair its colour and helps protect skin against damaging UV light and absorbs heat from the sun. However, an overproduction of melanin stimulated by excessive sun exposure, hormones, or scarring, leads to a mottled, uneven skin tone.
It can take up to 50 days for existing hyperpigmentation to lessen in appearance even when skin is being actively treated. This is because hyperpigmentation takes place on a cellular level. It must be controlled before it can be reduced. In addition, if the pigment resides deeper in the skin it is very difficult to treat, and you may need to seek the advice of a physician for a more invasive treatment. If the hyperpigmentation is also being hormonally driven or stimulated, then the cause needs to be corrected.
