Searching for help to remove age spots? Frustrated at seeing those dark brown spots each time you look at the mirror?
Just like you, I had suffered from this very discouraging skin disorder. But I have successfully managed to overcome them.
And in this article, I want to share with you tips on how you can get rid of these brown dark spots too. You will get to discover what are the treatments that can get rid of them naturally and safely, without even resorting to high-end surgery treatments.
But first, let us understand what age spots is all about.
Causes
Sometimes called liver spots, age spots are actually skin pigments that arise due to the skin's constant exposure to the sun.
Researchers had found out that the damaging sun UV rays cause the melanin production in our body to accelerate and further to that, there is a "ceroid" pigment which starts building up in our body when the skin ages.
This pigment cell subsequently set off our skin to produce those unsightly age spots. And studies have shown that people over the age of 55 will generally experience a higher hit rate with this skin disorder.
Age spots can surfaced at any part of the body - arms, feet, face, and shoulders as well. So, if you are one who enjoys outdoor activities or a person who likes to suntan often, remember to put on sun blocks or sun protection lotions. Otherwise, you may just find yourself with brown little spots appearing on your back.
Treatment and Removal
Here are some tips on how to remove age spots effectively:
a. Limit your exposure to the sun. Put on sun block, sun tan lotion with a high SPF factor of at least 15 to protect your skin.
b. Use bleaching solutions such as hydroquinone. It works effectively by killing the melanin production in our body. But do note that using hydroquinone may not suit some individuals who has sensitive skin type.
c. Kojic acid. Try using topical treatments like kojic acid, mandelic acid or vitamin c products . These can help you to fade away those liver spots. These treatment are less irritable to the skin compared to hydroquyinone.
d. Alpha hydroxy acid gel. The latest technique to remove dark skin spots involves the use of alpha hydroxy acid gel and beta hydroxy acid gel. You need to make put the gels on before you sleep. Although effective, this treatment may cause some irritations to your skin.
e. Retin-A. Commonly use for acne creams, Retin-A cream can also help to lighten dark brown spots. The only drawback is that you need to use it regularly for at least six months before seeing any visible results.
f. Use skin lightening substances that contains Extrapone Nutgrass. I would recommend you to go for this if you want to effectively remove age spots. This is what I uses as well. Clinical studies have proven that using this natural treatment, you can expect a high success rate of reducing melanin product by as much as 40%. It also does not cause any irritations or side effects to the skin. Results can be visible as short as a few weeks.
