There's no doubt about it, uneven skin tone makes you feel self conscious. Those blotchy, red or dark patches on your face stare back at you from the mirror, and like many, you wish they would miraculously disappear. There are many so called "treatments" for uneven skin tone, most with a hefty price tag, fortunately, some of the most effective are cheap, and with a little perseverance they can achieve great results. Lets look at a couple of the best home remedies for uneven skin tone on the face.

• Apple Cider Vinegar

Apple cider vinegar is well known for its healing properties and health benefits. It has been documented as being used to treat ailments as long ago as 400 BC. Apple cider vinegar contains lots of minerals and amino acids, which are extremely beneficial to the skin, but research has shown that the sulfur within the vinegar is the main reason for its effectiveness on uneven skin tone. Apply a good quality organic cider vinegar to the darker areas of skin with a cotton ball or pad and let it dry. After 15 minutes wash the skin with warm water and apply a moisturizer. Moisturizers rich in Vitamin K are definitely better, as Vitamin K is great for evening out skin tone. Due to its acidic nature, it's always best to try a small area of skin first for any skin reaction. If you have sensitive skin, try diluting the vinegar with water instead of using it neat.

• Yogurt, Oatmeal And Honey Face Mask

The ingredients in this face mask all combine to make a very effective remedy for uneven skin tone. Yogurt contains natural enzymes and oils and is an excellent moisturizer for the skin. Yogurt will also shrink pores and will leave your skin looking youthful and refreshed. Yogurt is also very gentle and can be used on even the most sensitive skin.
