My skin is looking worse and worse as the winter goes on. The area around the bridge of my nose and my cheeks are very blotchy and I can't seem to even it out. Are there any products that will help with this or any natural remedies for uneven skin tone? Any suggestions / tips would be great. Thanks!

I have combination skin, so I don't really have any dry skin on my face.

Try exfoliating with a gentle scrub. If you notice the uneven patches just in the winter then it's most likely dried out skin that needs to be sloughed off. I also have combination skin so instead of using a moisturizer on my whole face I just use it on the areas that are dry and either leave it off the areas that get oily or apply a thin layer and while it's still damp pat some of it off with a towel. As for make-up, I rarely wear any, except for foundation which is Loreal's True Match. Some people with oily skin tend to breakout from it, but so far it works for me. A pressed powder or a mousse foundation might work better for evening things out.
Combination skin is patches of dry and oily skin on various parts of your face. You said you don't have any dry areas, so you may very well just have normal skin, which can get oily as well.

Make sure to moisturize a lot in the winter when skin is most dry. I use Olay's daily mositurizer with SPF built in it. I use it in the morning before makeup application and at night after I shower and before sleeping. Also, a little powder will help to even out skin tone. Just a light powder, no too heavy. I love Clarins wet/dry powder and MACs powder.

Always wash your face in something gentle...you may be having an allergic reaction to something...plain old white Dove is the best stuff for your skin (my dermatologist, years ago, suggested it)...use a "non-commedigenic" (means "won't clog pores") lotion..anything greasy is a no-no..use sun screen even in winter (those rays are still harsh!)...and you may want to see a dermatologist just to make sure what is causing your extra-dry skin...windburn..and being in "dry heat" all day indoors can really play havoc with your skin....and as you get older, your skins needs will change...you have to learn to change with them...

i'm very honest/mild too. One individual pronounced i had ginger pores and skin, and yet another called me large caucasian lol! It does not help that that is virtually impossible for me to tab the two. i will take a seat interior the solar with tanning oil for hours, in basic terms get somewhat burned, and then one the burn fades i bypass back to being somewhat mild. I actually glow on a warm, sunny, summer season day by using fact my pores and skin is so mild whilst the solar rays hit me hahaha

I think the cold weather is making lighter areas on your face, as you may stay in the house more to avoid the cold. All you need is sun. That has happened to me a few times and I really hated it. So go out and do something in the sun (yea I know its cold but it will help). Go skiing or rock climbing, something outdoorsy.

Mineral makeup will help! It totally evens out my skintone and it's good for your skin too.
