What causes uneven skin tone and texture?
There are several environmental factors that can cause the skin to appear blotchy and uneven including exposure to the sun’s harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays, smoking, pollution, wind, dirt, chemicals, and the climate you live in. These elements strip the skin of its natural collagen and elastin fibers, causing it to appear dry, rough, and wrinkled. Age also plays a role in the formation of wrinkles, age spots, blotchiness, and rough skin texture. Fortunately, it is possible to reverse some of the damage and reduce the outward signs of aging by carefully following a skin care treatment and protection regimen. Specific skin conditions such as acne, melasma, and rosacea can severely affect the skin’s overall health and contribute greatly to an uneven skin tone and texture. If you experience excessive inflammation, itching, dryness, or pain, it is important to see one of our dermatologists to diagnose your problem and start you on a treatment plan for your specific skin condition.
