Getting Rid of Age Spots

Know any brownish or even purplish spots on your skin? Some people like to call them sun spots, brown spots or liver spots. Call them anything you want, but for the most of us the fact remains: we see the spots as unsightly and we most likely want to do what you can to get rid of age spots.

These spots are most often associated with high age and getting older, and that's why a lot of people think that only people beyond their middle age years can get them. That's not completely true, however. These ugly blemishes can indeed be caused by for example genetics or excessive tanning and too much exposure to the sun. That's why it's possible for people in their thirties, twenties, and sometimes even younger to get them.

Whatever your age, most likely you are looking for a way to get rid of the age spots.

My suggestion is that you should first try natural, yet effective solutions for getting rid of these spots.

To lighten the existing spots and to avoid the appearance of new ones, you first need to understand that age spots are actually a build up of melanin, a pigment in the human body that participates in giving our skin, our hair and our eyes color.

There are natural ways you can try at home which might help you naturally lighten the pigmentation the areas of your skin where age spots appear. You can try applying lemon juice or apple cider vinegar on your brown spots regularly, and over time you could see some lightening of the age spots.

There are also many creams on the market that offer to get rid of your age spots. Some promise wonderful results, but in fact most of the real results on actual users and not advertisement staff end up being meager. Keep a keen eye for hoax products when it comes to getting rid of sun spots!

My advice is that you always should take time to read the ingredients list of any products you are planning to use. In addition, I suggest you avoid applying synthetic ingredients or harsh chemicals like bleach on your skin and on your sun spots.

There are natural substances that are known for their effective yet not harmful skin lightening effect, like extrapone nutgrass. Look it up, it really is a great ingredient when it comes to getting rid of age spots. If you can, try to find a lightening cream with it.

In addition to reading the ingredients list, it is usually useful to read reviews of products to see what experiences other users have had with the creams you are thinking of using. Keep in mind, though, that different users will get different results based on their skin types, but also on factors like how precisely they followed the instructions. There are many variables that can differ, and that's why even though reviews are useful, they should always be read with caution.
