Everybody dreams of having super smooth and evenly-toned skin with a natural, sun kissed glow. Unfortunately, quite a few reasons can lead to uneven skin tone, which results in both an unhealthy and tired-looking complexion. The main causes for an uneven skin tone, also known as skin discoloration, are pigmentation, pimples, acne, injury or overexposure to sunlight. An individual can experience uneven skin tones (like dark or red spots) on legs, arms, back or even in their mouth area. Probably the most common case is the aftermath of a sun burn; if you stay in the sun unprotected for too long, your skin will be burned and even when it heals you will notice that your skin tone has become uneven. Even though there are countless skin products available for treatment, why not try your hand at some fantastic home remedies for uneven skin tone? Sometimes covering the effect with cream, foundation or makeup simply won’t help you treat the cause. The ingredients for these do-it-yourself remedies are highly accessible and might already be in your refrigerator or pantry at home. No matter if you’re Caucasian (light skin) or African American (dark skin) or anywhere in between, we are certain that you will enjoy these neat home remedies. Personally, my favorite one is number 7; you’ll soon find out why. Learn how to apply them, try one out and make your own skin product to heal your uneven skin tone naturally!
Our first recommendation for treating uneven skin tone is simple, yet extremely efficient. You are probably already familiar with the fact that baking soda is an excellent healthy solution for whitening teeth, so the fact that it helps you achieve gorgeous skin is almost natural. In the case of skin, baking soda acts as an exceptional bio exfoliator that does not damage your skin like other commercial products. It has the power to remove dry skin resulted by scarring or tanning and leaves you with a beautifully even skin tone. All you need is to make a paste of baking soda (approximately one teaspoon) and water and directly apply it to your body or face, leaving it for several minutes to set. Carefully rub the damaged area for around 3 minutes with the tips of your fingers and then wash the paste off with water.
Aloe vera really is one of the founding fathers of home remedies. It’s a wonderful solution for a great number of problems and it heals the causes in a 100% natural way. As far as skin care is concerned, aloe vera is a wonderful moisturizer and can greatly aid you in getting rid of dark patches and obtaining a healthy and even skin tone. Particularly the gel extracted from leaves of aloe vera helps out, so you are going to need to extract it by cutting a leaf or more of aloe. After squeezing out the gel, you can directly apply it to the area you want to treat. Allow the gel to take action for around a half hour, rinsing it off with water afterwards. Repeating the process helps you achieve the best results, so make sure to use aloe vera gel often for an even skin tone.
Aside from being a delightful source of Vitamin C and healthy to consume under numerous forms, oranges are also known for naturally lightening your skin tone. It comes packed with natural bleaching properties and can help you obtain the smooth and even skin you have been hoping for. To get this home remedy right, you are going to need just a little bit of turmeric powder and some orange juice. You can obtain the juice by yourself by squeezing or juicing the orange. Take the pinch of turmeric powder and mix it with 2 tablespoons of the orange juice, thus creating a thick paste. If you are interested in covering a larger area of skin, just equally multiply the amount of each ingredient. Cover the designated area with this paste right before going to sleep and let it set during the night. The following morning you normally wash it off, making sure to repeat the process.
Baking soda is not the only natural ingredient you can use to exfoliate your skin in a healthy way. This will not only help you achieve a lovely and even skin tone, but it will also leave your skin silky smooth. This home remedy works very well in two ways, by mixing oatmeal with another ingredient:
Tomato juice – combine tomato juice with oatmeal and stir well. Afterwards, take the solution and apply it on your body or face, depending on the area you want to correct or fix. Let it take action for around twenty minutes before rinsing with cold water. As you wash the oatmeal and tomato juice off, carefully rub your skin so you eliminate the unnecessary cells. It is best to repeat this process every day until your skin tone becomes fully even.
Lemon Juice & Turmeric Powder – the second way you can use oatmeal to exfoliate your skin and get rid of that uneven skin tone is to mix it with a couple of drops of lemon juice and a bit of turmeric powder. Mix the ingredients together well, apply on your skin and allow it to dry naturally. Like in the case of oatmeal and tomato juice, you wash it all off and repeat daily.
Honey is an awesome source of enzymes which allow you skin to have that healthy glow we were talking about in the introductory paragraph. This solution should work fine for sensitive skin, but if you want to use it as a pace pack, make sure you test it on a patch of skin beforehand. To nail this home remedy, take some honey and mix it with equal amounts of milk powder, lemon juice and soak almonds (optional). Take the mixture and apply it to your face or body, allowing it to dry on its own. After it has fully dried, you can wash it off with lukewarm water. Practice makes perfect, so repeat often!
The fact that papaya is a delicious healthy treat is already well-known by most people. But did you know that it can help you solve your uneven skin tone problem? You might have guessed it as many skin care products contain papaya extract, but you should know that it’s fantastic for lightening skin, as well. Like in the case of oranges, papaya contains bleaching properties so you can enjoy glowing skin once again. You can either incorporate papaya into your diet for natural cleansing on a long-term period, or apply it directly to your skin. You can actually take a piece of raw papaya and rub the inside part on your skin, allowing it to dry on its own. Afterwards, wash the area with cool water and repeat every day for that natural glow. Alternatively, you can mash up a papaya and stir it with 1 cup of lemon juice (it is best if you squeeze it by yourself so you know it’s 100% natural). Apply the mixture on the affected area and let it work for at least thirty minutes. Wash off and repeat one time a week for fabulous results.

Isn’t it funny that almost all skincare product commercials or posters include a lovely lady with cucumbers over her eyes? Well you should know that there are plausible reasons behind it all! Cucumbers are amazing for skin, as they bind collagen and allow you to enjoy firmness and a light and even skin tone. You can use cucumbers to treat uneven skin tone, no matter what your type is, so check out one of these 3 ways you can do so:
Lemon juice – a great way to use cucumbers for lightening your skin is to mix one teaspoon of cucumber juice with one teaspoon of lemon juice. Apply the mixed juice to your face and let it dry for approximately twenty minutes. Use cool water to wash it off and repeat once a day.
Honey – use a grater to finely cut up a cucumber and mix it up with some honey. This mask will help you reduce spots on your skin if applied twice a day, so make sure you try it out for awesome results.
Directly – the easiest way to use cucumbers for solving uneven skin tone problems is to place slices of them directly on the affected areas. After letting the slices set for a couple of minutes, take them off and wash your skin. Try this two times a day and enjoy your glowing skin.
