Due to excessive exposure to the sun, the skin can produce excess melanin, causing freckles and dark spots to appear. If the skin is not properly protected with sunscreen, the harmful ultraviolet rays of the sun can encourage the skin to produce more melanin in order to protect itself. When the consistent colour of your skin is disrupted by freckles and brown spots, uneven skin tone develops.

In addition to uneven skin tone, ultraviolet rays from the sun also damage the collagen in your skin, resulting in loose folds and the loss of the essential collagen and elastin that gives your skin shape and flexibility. Prolonged exposure to UV rays can also result in thickened, “leathery” skin as well as wrinkles.

While genetics and the natural aging process also play a part in the development of uneven skin tone and texture, protecting your skin from the sun is your first line of defense in preventing these conditions.
