Age Spots, How Do You Get Rid Of Them?

Do you have age spots ? If so, did you know that these age spots can get bigger and darker over time? Although they don’t hurt and have no other symptoms, many people would rather be rid of them than rich.

Today we are going to tell you how to eliminate age spots naturally.

Age spots: what you need to know

We call them solar lentigines or liver spots . They are flat, brown or black spots that can appear on different parts of the body. They are most common on the face, neck and back of the hands. Some people also get them on their arms, back, and feet.

• These spots can start to appear from the age of 50. They are associated with excessive exposure to UV radiation.
• They can vary in size. Although they are usually harmless, they should be examined by a doctor to rule out cancer.
• Discolorations on the face, neck and hands are common, especially in middle-aged women.

To understand age spots, we must first talk about melanin, the pigment that colors your skin. When your skin comes into contact with sunlight, the production of melanin is increased. This is done to protect the deeper layers of the skin from harmful UV rays. The same process takes place if you go under the sunlamp or sunbed for a longer period of time.

Other factors that contribute to the appearance of age spots are chronic diseases, aging and a poor or incorrect diet.

Natural remedy for age spots

Many people opt for expensive and sometimes painful medical or cosmetic treatments to try and get rid of these age spots. However, you can also take advantage of nature’s benefits to reduce the appearance of age spots.

Let’s see how you can do that.

1. Lemon juice

This is one of the best ‘stain removers’ out there.

Both the citric acid and antioxidants in lemon act as a natural bleaching agent that reduces age spots. This also explains why so many cosmetic creams contain lemon juice.

• All you have to do is squeeze half a lemon and dip a cotton ball in it.
• You can apply this all over your face or just the affected areas. Let it act for twenty minutes.
• Then rinse your face with cool water.
• We recommend repeating this every evening.
• If you apply it during the day, the lemon juice can have the opposite effect and cause even more stains.

2. Weiss

You can buy whey at health food stores and drug stores. The acid in the whey cleans your face and removes age spots.

Apply the whey to your freshly washed face every day before going to bed.

3. Aloe Vera

This plant belongs in every home, because it is so good for your skin. It can heal wounds and reduce your age spots.

• Cut a leaf from the aloe vera plant horizontally and let the moisture drain out.
• Wash your face and neck well and then apply the gel.
• Let it dry without rinsing.

4. Apple cider vinegar

You often use it in the kitchen to flavor your food, but you can also use it to treat various skin problems. That also applies to infections.

The acid in this vinegar removes dead skin cells and will rejuvenate the skin.

This treatment can be done in two ways. You can drink it every day or you can apply it on the skin.

Ingredients

• ½ tablespoon apple cider vinegar (5 ml)
• 1 cup water (250 ml)
• 1 teaspoon honey (7.5 grams)

Preparation

• Put the vinegar in the cup with water.
• Stir it well and drink it every morning.
• If you want, you can add a teaspoon of honey to it to improve the taste.

To apply it to the skin, you need some other, easy-to-find ingredients.

Ingredients

• ½ tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 onion
• ½ tablespoon rose water (5 ml)

Preparation

• Peel the onion and mash it in a mortar until you have a paste.
• Then add the vinegar and rose water.
• Wash your face with a mild soap and pat your face dry.
• Then apply the mask to your age spots.
• Leave it on for twenty minutes and rinse with warm water.

5. Castor Oil

Castor oil is gaining popularity in beauty treatments. Believe it or not, it can also help you if you have age spots.

It’s very easy. All you have to do is put a few drops of castor oil on your hands in the evening and rub it over the affected areas.

This oil is the very best for your skin as it stimulates the production of collagen and elastin fibers.

If you use it regularly, you will get softer, cleaner skin without wrinkles and blemishes.

6 Oxygen water

This is another product that everyone should have at home. It’s in your first aid kit, but you can also use it to reduce age spots.

Dip a cotton pad in the oxygenated water. Then apply this to your face every night before going to bed. Do not rinse.
