Dealing with fitzpatrick 5-6 skin was and still a challenge.I had clients with combination skin-> dry areas causing uneven skin tone making the dry area appear darker and some other clients with patches making that area appear lighter. Also, I noticed when a client has this skin type / condition he or she tends to be sensitive to most treatments.

Performing treatments to uneven skin tone:
when I'm doing a enzyme or chemical peel treatment I've learned to make sure my clients don't leave without some type of skin repairing cream. Through out the healing process I noticed this helps sooth ,repair and hydrate the skin which made it quicker to see results. Because without the repair cream through the healing process I noticed clients seem irritated in the dry areas causing it to appear even darker or not seeing much of a difference toward his or her wanted results.

Home treatments:
I make sure client uses a sensative or milk base cleanser while using medicated products to even skin tone along with a hydrating product and of course SPF along with it.

It's been a challenge but my clients are seeing results. Which make me love my job even more...** Could use more advice on other products to I can use to speed up and help this situation***( the product line I use at the office is the following: aveene, obagi, and skin medica.)

My issue is still with the patches of dry skin making area look lighter.
I know as an Esthetician to exfoliate and hydrate skin but I feel It takes longer to see improvement. **Need help.**.
Especially when it come to younger kids and teens there is only so much you can do to his or her skin. I noticed this situation mostly happens after summer time.*****.What can I do to help see faster results?????...
