Follow these skincare hacks to achieve a balanced skin tone year round!

1.    Sun Protection: Excessive or unprotected sun exposure can lead to uneven skin tone. Sun spots physically discolour skin and consequently, impact your complexion. Overexposure to the sun’s UV rays can also cause long-term skin damage, redness, discolouration and even skin cancer. If you have acne-prone or sensitive skin, “non-comedogenic” sunscreens will suit you as they are formulated to not cause breakouts. On the other hand, sunscreens with oil or fragrances may cause breakouts or irritate sensitive skin. Try Ayur Herbals’ sunscreens with a broad spectrum range of PA + to PA ++++ and SPF 15 to 50.

2.    Cleanse, Tone and Moisturise: Keep consistent with your skincare to maintain an even skin tone. Keeping your complexion clean and moisturised is essential for healthy and even-toned skin. A gentle cleanser can remove impurities, dirt and excess oil from the skin that can cause pigmentation if left accumulated. Follow up with a toner to rebalance your skin’s pH and even skin tone. Finally, end with a moisturiser to hydrate and lock in healthy elements on the skin’s surface. Choose from Ayur Herbals’ range of face washes, follow up with Ayur Herbals’ Skin Toner with Aloe Vera and end with Ayur Herbals’ Moisturiser with Vitamin E.

3.    Exfoliation: Incorporate exfoliator into your routine on a weekly basis - once or twice a week. Exfoliation helps remove dead cells that cause dull complexion and consequently, uneven skin tone. Additionally, exfoliation also allows the correcting ingredients in your cleansers, serums and moisturisers to penetrate to the epidermis and work effectively. Find an exfoliant suitable for your skin to lighten pigmentation and erase dark spots. Try Ayur Herbals’ Strawberry Super Creamy Scrub for gentle yet effective exfoliation.

4.    Vitamin C: Vitamin C delivers anti-aging, skin-brightening and antioxidant benefits. It interferes with the enzyme tyrosinase, which creates melanin. By reducing excess melanin, it fades existing hyperpigmentation, such as age spots, sun spots and hyperpigmentation. It also prevents new dark spots from forming - leading to a more uniform and radiant complexion with regular use. The antioxidant powers of vitamin C protect skin from UV exposure and pollutants, which can cause dullness. Vitamin C also boosts radiance by revitalizing tired-looking skin. Finally, it improves texture and firmness by boosting collagen production. Vitamin C is present in Ayur Herbals’ Orange Face Pack, Papaya Face Pack, Lemon and Honey Face Wash, Strawberry Super Creamy Scrub and Fruitamin Lotion.
