Stop it ahead of time: Uneven skin tone

Ever wish you could go out in public without wearing any makeup and get away with it? I know what you’re thinking. “With my skin? Not going to happen.” You’re not alone. Many young women suffer from skin discoloration in areas like the cheeks, forehead and chin.

To get rid of it, try using a product with hydroquinone. According to Begoun, hydroquinone can correct and lighten any current discoloration or brown spots, and it also helps slow the production of melanin, which is what causes skin discoloration in the first place. This ingredient can be found in over-the-counter skin lighteners, or you can ask your doctor about prescription strength products.

After four weeks of daily use, you’ll be able to go out without wearing foundation — your skin will look that good.
