Understanding tan and uneven tone
Sun exposure makes the skin produce more pigment, causing tanning, especially on the face, neck, arms and hands. Over time, tan can become patchy and uneven.
Tan usually fades with sun protection and time, but treatments can speed this up and even out the tone.
How tan and uneven tone are treated
The plan depends on how deep and widespread the pigmentation is.
- Sun protection: daily sunscreen and covering up
- Topical creams: to brighten and even tone, under medical guidance
- Chemical peels and medi-facials: to speed up fading
- Laser treatments: for selected, stubborn pigmentation

Some over-the-counter creams contain steroids or harsh agents. Use them only on medical advice.

Usually a short course, depending on your skin.
Is it tan or melasma?
