Causes of uneven tone and texture
Rough, dry, bumpy skin—or keratosis pilaris—can appear darker and/or redder than one’s 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.
