Age spots or pigment marks that appear on the hands over time is a clear sign of aging. So, keep reading this article to see some tips to help you deal with them.

Age Spots: What You Should Know

As years pass by, the skin discolors due to an imbalance in the production of melatonin, a part of the dermis of the skin structure. That’s why older people have freckles or brown spots in various parts of their body, especially on their hands, neck and face. Some factors that may contribute to the appearance of freckles are: high exposure to sunlight during your lifetime, the non-use of skin care products, heredity or genetic factors, poor nutrition, inadequate water intake, alcohol, smoking, use of certain cleaning products, menopause, certain drugs, etc.

Remove Age Spots With A Natural Approach

-FRESH RAW LEMON JUICE OR LEMON OIL
The citric acid in lemons makes this fruit one of the strongest natural skin lightening remedies. Use the juice of the lemon. Rub on the skin where the age spots are. This remedy will take from 6 to 8 weeks before you start to see the spots fade. The juice of the lemon will safely remove the upper layer of the skin and will help to lighten the spots. However, since lemon juice increases the skin’s sensitivity to sunlight, be sure to wash off the juice and use sunscreen before going out.

You can also use lemon oil, instead of lemon juice, which also has excellent bleaching properties. Combine two or three drops with an oil, such as almond, or any face product, and then apply the mixture to the age spots twice a day.

-ALOE VERA
There are many evidences available about the effectiveness of aloe vera to reduce age spots. Aloe vera is a healing herb that can greatly promote skin growth and repair. There are 21 minerals and key vitamins in the aloe vera along with 22 amino acids and saponins, ligin, anthraguinones and complex enzymes. Rubbing fresh aloe vera juice or gel on age spots can help fade them. Leave it on the skin for at least 45 minutes at a time.

-BIO OIL
There are so many people who rave of bio oil for taking away their age spots. Supposedly it works real well. I found the ingredients to include calendula oil, vitamin A, E, lavender oil, rosemary oil, chamomile oil, which are all good, but then there are a few undesirable ingredients such as BHT.

–GREEN TEA

Green tea contains tannins, catechins, vitamins C, E and other ingredients can tighten skin, while green tea as well as freckle anti-radiation, softening keratin. All the ingredients of the green tea have antioxidant effects that can make your skin firmer and elastic.

-POMERGRANATE

UVB radiation from the sun is known to be the cause of many adverse health effects including photo-aging and skin cancer. The use of natural antioxidants in the protection against UVB damage is receiving increasing attention. Pomegranate contains anthocyanins and hydrolyzable tannins which possess strong anti-oxidant and anti-tumor promoting properties. In a study published in the June 2009 issue of “Experimental Dermatology,” researchers Farrukh Afaq and colleagues explored the effect of pomegranate juice and oils on damage caused by UVB radiation. Results of this study show that pomegranate juice and oils protect from UVB damage through strong antioxidant activities.
