What does "skin tone" mean?

Question

I have many products that say that it will help improve skin tone, or change your skin tone, and brighten skin tone. But i'm not even sure what it means by my skin tone.. it is like the color of your skin? texture?

Answer 1

skin tone is basically the color of your skin. There is no such color as white, black, hispanic, so don't just look for white makeup if you are "white".
You're avatar looks white, so I'm guessing that you are. Go for a makeup product that says light, fair, or peach. If you are kinda tan, go for beige or tan.

For those who are African-American, go for something that says bronze, dark, etc.(it depends on how dark you are)

You can't really "brighten" your skin tone. You can make it tanner by using a self tanner(Sally Hansen has some). OR you could even it out. Some people have a pink nose and peach skin or a really dark brown forehead but bronze skin. If the color of your skin isn't the same(or close to the same) around your face, use foundation or powder to even it out.

Also remember that not all makeup brands use the term light, tan, beige, etc. They might use cocoa for a black person.

Hispanics should look for olive, tan, or bronze(depends on how dark you are)
Asians should go for olive.

Answer 3

You should read Laura Jefferson’s book "Skin Whitening At Home" ( I saw it's also available in electronic format +video: http://www.skinwhiteningathome.com ). After 8 weeks I managed to get my skin a few tones whiter and I also got rid of freckles.

The method she teaches in her book is natural, inexpensive, and is readily available in most homes. You could even find some ingredients in your own backyard. The most wonderful thing about the method she shares in her book is that it will help you whiten or lighten your skin pigmentations, freckles, age spots, acne marks, dark underarms, melasma, or your overall skin color easily and naturally without breaking your bank or producing dangerous side effects. Good Luck!

Answer 4

It means the color of your skin and if it is dry or flaky or have blemishes, when it says that it will help your skin tone it means that it will even out your skin if you have discoloration or spots or blemishes or anything that makes your skin look uneven.

Answer 5

skin tone refers to the tone coloring shade of your skin. Depending on what the product says it will do it basically will either lighten, darken, even or smoth out your natural shade of your skin.

Answer 6

Tone means color so skin tone would mean the different shades and color of your skin.

Answer 7

It depends on the context in the product description.

Products that deal with color or shading are refering to the colortone of your skin. For example, foundation or powder.

Products that deal with your pores or skin texter are referring to the elascticity of your skin. Skin "toner" which is used when you wash your face helps reduce the size of your pores.
