subject: Some Information You Should Know About Uneven Skin Tone [print this page] Once in a while, you really want to know the reason why you can't have smooth and perfect skin which is had by the celebrity appearing in a fashion magazine or on the net. In reality, they get a pretty complexion partly due to professional makeup. That doesn't mean that you cannot have smooth and even skin tone as the celebrity have. If there are some lightened patches and some darkened patches in your skin, you are most likely to be experiencing uneven skin tone, which is a rather common skin problem that have an effect on quite a lot of people.
Normally speaking, uneven skin tone is referred to a part of skin that is lighter or darker than the surrounding area. It usually shows up in the forms of red areas, darkened areas, or lightened areas. There are various factors that cause the formation of this skin problem, among which sun exposure, hormones, and pigmentation disorders are the most common. As we all know, melanin is the pigment in the body that provides the natural color for skin. Melanin's main functionality is to leave the skin free from the bad influences of UV radiation. When the melanin is produced in excess and accumulated unevenly under the skin, dark spots and uneven skin tone begin to appear. The whole process is called hyper pigmentation, which is overproduction of melanin.
The makeup cream has been being used to deal with uneven skin tone, but it doesn't offer the most satisfying results. With the development of science and technology, an advanced treatment called chemical peel has appeared in the cosmetic area. Chemical peels are operated to make the texture of the facial skin look more smooth and beautiful. Dead skin cells from the skin's surface will be removed by some materials called fruit acids that occur naturally in these treatments. They allow your skin to glow, have radiance and a smoother texture by removing this top layer of the facial skin to let the healthy skin cells appear.
There is no need for you to ask a sick leave to undergo a chemical peel. You can have the treatment during your lunch hour and then go back to work. However, you may experience some flaking, which may last up to six days, two or three days after the treatment. The type and amount of peel used determines the amount of exfoliation.
In a word, chemical peels can remove uneven skin tone and offer smooth, blemish-free skin, restoring your self-confidence. The treatment is quick, simple and almost pain-free. And there is no need for you to repeat the treatment for the best results. That is to say, it provides you with the permanent results.
