Uneven skin tone plagues people of all ages and skin types, and products for making the skin lighter or creating a more even tone make up a large part of the skin care industry. Most of these products are designed for the face, but many people have uneven skin tone in other places on their bodies. For example, many people have an uneven skin tone on their feet from sun exposure. Natural, inexpensive skin whitening treatments can be used at home to help with this problem.
