Skin tone and texture concerns are very common among skin of all types and colors. Rough patches, dry skin, dark spots, blotchiness and bumpy skin can all impact how you feel about your skin and yourself. Finding the cause of your uneven skin tone or texture is the first step to finding a solution.
Causes of uneven tone and texture
Rough, dry, bumpy skinâor keratosis pilarisâcan appear darker and/or redder than oneâs overall skin tone.
Uneven skin texture is generally caused by the buildup of excess dead skin cells on the surface of the skin resulting in skin that appears dry and dull.
Keratosis pilaris is a common and harmless skin condition, which appears as tiny bumps on the skin. Some say the bumps look like goosebumps or the skin of a plucked chicken. Though often mistaken for small pimples, these rough-feeling bumps are actually plugs of dead skin cells.
