UNDERSTANDING
Uneven skin tone, or hyperpigmentation, refers to areas of the skin that become darker than the surrounding areas. This can be caused by factors like sun exposure, hormonal changes, or inflammation. Common manifestations include age spots, melasma, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, which can appear as localized patches or affect larger areas.
Textural irregularities can arise from a variety of sources including acne scarring, enlarged pores, or the natural aging process, which reduces the skin's ability to retain moisture and renew its cells. These textural issues can make the skin appear dull and can affect the skin’s overall smoothness and radiance.
