How to take care of skin tone?

Uneven skin tone, or hiperpigmentacja, is one of the fairly common skin problems of our time. The cosmetics market abounds with products that improve skin tone. This is due to a number of factors that affect this aspect adversely.

What affects uneven skin tone?

The main external factor that negatively affects skin tone is the sun. Overexposure to sunlight can result in brown spots and uneven skin tone. These are the effects of excessive production of melanin – the hormone responsible for protecting the skin from sunlight. Environmental pollutants, that is, known from many signs and advertisements – smog and antipollution. Smog particles with a mass so small that they are able to penetrate our skin. The skin on the face is the most vulnerable, as it is much more delicate than on the rest of the body, making it more susceptible to external factors. The causes of hyperpigmentation can also come from abnormalities in our bodies. This applies to hormones, for example. Increased hormone production affects our skin. Pregnant women are usually the most severely affected.

There is also a type of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation – inflammation caused by acne lesions or cuts scars, causing the skin to darken.

How to support correct skin tone?

Prevention in this topic is very important, and the ways to do it are not different from the basic elements of daily skin care. The use of sunscreen every day – recommended regardless of the topic we are addressing, the season and the age of the person we are talking to. Photoprotection this time is also an important part of prevention. It is also worthwhile to take care of good skin quality with enzyme scrubs. Lingering dead skin makes it difficult for active ingredients from creams to penetrate the skin effectively.

Diet and skin tone

The shade of the skin, as well as the lesions and discoloration that occur on it, can be the result of more than just improper care. Very often they are closely related to our diet and lifestyle. We recommend enriching your daily menu with vitamin C – vegetables and fruits (especially citrus) are good sources. Vitamin C brightens the skin and eliminates signs of aging, including hyperpigmentation. Vitamin A – strengthens the color of the skin, thereby protecting against hyperpigmentation. Interesting fact – vitamin A reduces our sensitivity to the sun. Recommended foods include spinach, kale, pumpkins and broccoli. Vitamin B3 – found in fish, poultry meat, legumes and nuts – supports the restoration of the skin’s natural color when we have problems with graying skin. It is usually faced by smokers.

In addition to a vitamin-rich diet, be sure to take in plenty of water. It allows the body to maintain lymphatic balance and better manage the removal of toxins. Deprived of hydration, the skin easily turns gray and ages much faster.
