HOW TO GET RID OF UNEVEN SKIN TONE

2 Feb 2017

Hello Sophie,
My skin complexion is uneven. I have used different products to correct this. They usually work for the first few weeks,after which my face becomes darker than the rest of my body. Please do you have any product that can correct this?

Before recommending any product, I would like to ask some questions.
Do you use any form of sunscreen or sun block before stepping out? 
How often do you use a scrub or mask?
Does your skincare product contain hydroquinone, steroid or any harsh bleaching agent?

In a climate as harsh as ours, we need to be careful of any type of product we use. If you are using products that lighten up to 5 shades whiter, it is actually compulsory you avoid sunlight as much as possible and use a sunblock with at least SPF 50 or more. if you don't, you risk having massive sunburns or darkening of the skin.

Exfoliating gets rid of dead skin cells, open skin pores and allow products to be absorbed into the skin quickly. Usually, those creams stop working because the skin pores are clogged, does not breathe and have no avenue for the creams or products to pass through.

Also, uneven skin tone is a side effect of products containing hydroquinone and steroids, so check that cream. For me, products containing Kojic Acid usually react that way on my skin. They perform wonders on my face but for reasons I can't phantom, my body is a different issue.
These are some of my fave products that might be able to solve your problem.


ASANTEE PAPAYA SOAP
 

One of my fave soaps and I have no complaints whatsoever. It clears spots, lightens the face and ensures that the face is always smooth. It's not expensive at all, you can get it in stores for 300-500 Naira.
