Skin Tone & Texture
Uneven skin tone, also known as skin discolouration or hyperpigmentation, refers to areas of the skin that are darker or lighter than the surrounding skin. This can be caused by an overproduction of melanin, resulting in dark spots or patches, or an underproduction of melanin, resulting in lighter patches.
Uneven skin texture is characterised by roughness, bumpy or blemished areas, enlarged pores, and irregularities on the skin's surface. It can be the result of acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores, or conditions such as eczema or dermatitis.
