How To Improve Uneven Skin Tone And Texture Naturally

Although it’s a common desire to have smooth skin, it is normal to have uneven skin tone and texture. Although ageing plays a role in changing the surface of the skin, multiple factors also contribute to the issue. However, what is uneven and textured skin?

What Is Uneven Skin Tone And Textured Skin?

Uneven and textured skin is skin that appears raised or uneven in certain areas. Typically, uneven and textured skin can appear anywhere on the body, but you’re more likely to notice it on your face where it may feel bumpy and dry to the touch. It’s often the result of enlarged pores, acne, or acne scarring.

Causes Of Uneven Skin Tone And Textured Skin

There are several possible causes for textured skin and these may differ depending on where it appears on your body. Common causes include:

Improving Uneven Skin Tone And Textured Skin

Generally, it’s impossible to achieve completely flat, smooth skin all over the body because to do so would mean having no pores – and pores play a vital role in keeping skin healthy. However, there are ways to prevent and minimise the appearance of uneven and textured skin.

The key is consistency.

And achieving a healthy-looking, skin with even skin tone and texture is a continuous process that starts with a good daily skincare routine. A skincare routine for your entire body that will improve complexion & texture requires four basic steps you can do at daytime and nighttime:

• Cleanse: Always bathe with a gentle cleansing product and lukewarm water.

• Exfoliate: Gently remove dull skin buildup using exfoliating ingredients in your cleansing product, moisturising product, or both.

• Moisturise: Replenish, hydrate and smooth skin.

• Protect: Use a broad-spectrum SPF sunscreen every day.

There are also several lifestyle changes that you can make to improve the appearance of your skin like:

• Staying hydrated – Drinking water helps hydrate your body from the inside out. Applying moisturising products helps soothe and prevent dryness from the outside in.

• Using sunscreen – Wearing a broad spectrum sunscreen of at least SPF 30 every day can protect your skin from the sun, help your skin recover from current damage, and help prevent future damage.

• Limiting certain foods and drinks – Certain foods can trigger flushed, uneven complexions, including alcohol, spicy foods, foods high in refined sugars, and overly processed or greasy foods.

If you suffer from skin issues like Keratosis Pilaris, Psoriasis and Eczema, a daily skincare routine can help visibly diminish bumps and improve your skin’s texture.

Tips To Improve These Types Of Skin Issues:

• Keep your baths and showers short – Spending too much time in the water can dry your skin. So, limit baths and showers to 5 to 10 minutes and use lukewarm water.

• Use a mild cleansing – Kanda cold-process soaps are mild and made with natural butter and oils that are packed with essential nutrients. These soaps will help to minimise irritation when washing your skin.

• Moisturise your skin – Applying a moisturising product can help prevent dry skin. Kanda Body Oils and Body Balms help to moisturise, soften and smooth dry, rough, and bumpy skin while helping to improve even skin tone.

• Avoid shaving or waxing your skin if you have keratosis pilaris. However, if you must shave the area, use a single-blade razor rather than a multi-blade razor.
