Is your face a shade redder or yellower than normal? Be it ruddy, blotchy or uneven, find out the different underlying causes behind poor skin colorations, and learn how to restore a healthy complexion.

Sallow Skin

• A person with a sallow complexion tends to be yellow-cheeked and has a sickly grayish-yellow cast. Sallow skin looks lifeless and dull.
  
  
• Fix: To encourage a healthy pink glow, exfoliate daily with a grainy scrub to reveal brighter skin cells and give yourself a gentle facial massage every morning to stimulate blood flow to the face.
  
  

Rashes

• Numerous reactions and illnesses are capable of causing a rash. It can the result of contact dermatitis or allergy caused by an external source, or an irritation from a product, or can even be viral.
  
  
• Fix: Switch to a gentle face cleanser and use an over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream or ointment to soothe allergic skin reactions and itching, and to speed healing of inflamed and cracked skin. If the rash persists, see your dermatologist to determine the root of the problem and to rid the rash.
