Uneven Skin Tone:
Skin tone is rarely even over the body, due to reasons like the unevenness of a skin tan, the natural amount of exfoliation and hormonal make up. To add to this, sometimes there are differences in skin due to excess melanin production in certain parts of the skin.
How To Lighten Skin Tone:
Skin tone and color treatment is something that needs to be done with a certain understanding of how the skin works and why it is, the color that it is. Skin color is a product of the melanocyte cells in your skin secreting a substance called melanin in deposits in the skin. Melanin is a slightly brown colored substance that with exposure to ultraviolet light turns even darker. This is the reason that exposure to the sun will cause you to go darker. Melanin is not just a skin pigment as one would imagine but plays two very vital roles in the body – a natural sunscreen and the creation of Vitamin D. Ultraviolet radiation from the sun is dangerous to the human body and just like radiation from a nuclear source, it has the ability to oxidize DNA and cause defects in it. Melanin acts like a natural sun block in this regard and through a biochemical process, converts the ultraviolet radiation into harmless heat. However, once you are exposed to the sun for a very long time, the UV damage is a lot greater so the melanocytes cause even more melanin to be produced over time and this excess melanin results in a permanent tan. It can therefore be deduced and stated that the closer you live to the tropics, the greater your chances are of being darker skinned – to protect yourself from harmful UV radiation.
Skin Lightening Techniques And Remedies With Creams:
Understanding the process of tanning, you are now aware that most skin lightening techniques are only as good as your ability to remain shielded from the sun. Having said that, let us explore some of the treatment options that are available to lighten the skin tone. Lightening skin tone could involve evenly tanning your self or lightening some areas of the skin. Lightening can be achieved by using a vitamin C based cream or a home remedy that consists of onion and lemon juice applied to the skin as paint in layers. Vitamin C is nature’s natural bleaching agent. An over the counter version of this would be a solution with hydroquinone or Tretinoin in it. You could also go in for a more complicated solution like laser treatment, which works by destroying the melanocyte cells in the skin.
