What is uneven skin tone? It refers to skin that appears darker or inconsistent with primary skin tone. It can occur in small or large patches all over the body, and can be caused by a variety of factors, for example sunspots from excess sun exposure. Post-inflammatory dark spots are also common and can occur as a result of injury to the skin, such as after an acne breakout.

People often think when skin is more even-toned, you look younger. Start creating more even-toned skin with Clinique’s Even Better™ skin tone specialists.

There are many benefits of sun protection, including the protection and maintenance of healthy skin. The importance of sun protection can’t be understated if you want younger-looking, more even-toned skin. Try to limit time spent in the sun to reduce excessive UV ray exposure. Whether it’s sunny or cloudy, summer or winter, daily SPF use is a must. Apply a broad spectrum SPF of at least 30 and reapply often throughout the day to help avoid sunspots and skin damage.
