ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT SKIN TONE AND UNDERTONE
Understanding Skin Tone
Skin tone refers to the visible colour of the skin’s surface, determined mainly by the amount of melanin within the outer layers. Melanin not only provides pigment but also acts as the skin’s natural protection against UV damage. Genetics play the biggest role in defining tone, though sun exposure, hormones and ageing can also influence it over time.
People’s tones can range from very fair to deep and richly pigmented. Regardless of shade, maintaining a balanced and even tone is key to healthy-looking skin. Uneven pigmentation, dullness, or discolouration are common concerns that can be addressed through professional treatments aimed at regeneration and renewal.
At Dermamina London, we focus on enhancing the natural qualities of each skin tone through treatments that promote vitality, smoothness and radiance: not altering the tone itself, but bringing out its healthiest expression.
What Is Skin Undertone?
Skin undertone is the subtle hue beneath the surface that influences how colours appear on your skin. While skin tone can change slightly with tanning or ageing, undertone stays the same throughout life. Understanding your undertone helps determine which colours, treatments and skincare approaches will complement your complexion best.
Undertones generally fall into three main categories: warm, cool, and neutral. Warm undertones tend to have golden or peach hues, cool undertones appear pink or bluish, and neutral undertones balance both. Knowing where your skin sits on this spectrum makes it easier to select makeup shades or plan treatments that enhance your natural tone rather than mask it.
At Dermamina, every injectable and rejuvenation treatment is carried out with undertone awareness: ensuring that results look harmonious, balanced and natural for your complexion.
Treatments to Enhance Skin Tone and Complexion
Maintaining an even, glowing complexion is about more than colour: it’s about health, balance, and the way light reflects off the skin. Our treatments help strengthen the skin from within, stimulate collagen, and improve tone for a luminous, refreshed appearance.
The Face Lift, sometimes called the “natural glow treatment”, uses your body’s own plasma to restore vitality and radiance. By boosting cell renewal and circulation, it helps balance uneven tone and improve overall clarity.
LaseMD, our advanced laser rejuvenation treatment, works on a deeper level to refine texture, target pigmentation, and boost collagen production. It gently resurfaces the skin, leaving it smoother, brighter, and more even-toned without downtime.
Botox and other advanced injectables help to smooth fine lines and enhance the way light interacts with the face, giving a more even, youthful and rested look without altering your natural features.
Combined with proper hydration and consistent skincare, these treatments support long-term skin health while maintaining the individuality of your complexion: whether warm, cool or neutral in tone.
Complexion and Overall Skin Health
Skin complexion is more than just tone or undertone: it reflects the texture, clarity and brightness of the skin. A healthy complexion is smooth, hydrated and luminous, showing minimal imperfections and even light reflection. Dullness, dryness or congestion can interfere with this balance.
Regular rejuvenation treatments, a balanced lifestyle, and mindful product use play vital roles in maintaining a fresh complexion. At Dermamina, we tailor every treatment plan to your skin’s needs, ensuring that results look refreshed, natural and in harmony with your tone and undertone.
A deeper understanding of your own skin helps you make confident choices (from daily skincare to advanced procedures) leading to radiant, healthy-looking results that truly complement you.
