Have you noticed changes in your skin as you age?
Age spots, or often known as liver spots, are hyper-pigmented spots on your skin. They become more abundant, as well as apparent, as you get older. Though they are mostly harmless, age spots make your skin appear unattractive.
Age spots comes from overexposure to the sun. Skin has an agent called "melanin pigment," which naturally protects it from UV. However, as you age, your "melanin pigment" deteriorates, and your skin is subject to UV damage, resulting in dark spots on face, hands, shoulders, and anywhere that receives the most sun exposure.
Age spot treatments are not miracle creams. Even more invasive procedures take more than once to work. But some age spot treatments do work faster and better than others.
Scrubbing away dead cells help. Use a loofah in the shower, and vigorously scrub your skin for several minutes a few times a week.
Also, applying natural treatments for age spots such as lemon juice and buttermilk helps.
There are many topical treatments for age spots. For example, face wash, skin lighteners and age spot treatment cream.
Here are a few of the best skin care products for age spots that I recommend:
Luminaze Age Spot Removal Cream

I've been fortunate to not yet have age spots but my Mom does have them. She's tried a lot of things but says Clinique Even better Skin Tone corrector is one of the best on the market.
ReplyDeleteProducts high in vitamin c are the best if you want to take the slow and steady approach. Dermalogica has a serum called extreme-c that get applied directly to the area, patience is key, it takes about 8 weeks to see results, and if you go back in the sun unprotected, it comes right back. Melanin has memory....darn that melanin
ReplyDeletethese are great recommendations. I try not to be out in the sun (Ever) so hopefully, the age spots will keep away too! cross my fingers!

Great post! Will definitely keep these beauty products in mind!
ReplyDeletei probably will need to try some of these.. wonder if they work if you just spend too much time in the sun? (i need something along with my sunblock to protect my skin during the summer when i play beach volleyball)

Ooh, I'm going to have to try that cleanser! My skin tone is a little uneven, thanks to all the tanning I did while pregnant!
ReplyDeleteHydroquonine is the active ingredient in most lightening products for brown spots. You can get good ones I hear from a derm. But my derm doesn't believe that have lasting powers. I've tried the Shisheido White Lucent and Aveeno stuff, and I don't really see any improvements. I've heard Dior Snow works well, but it's so pricey!

yeah, as you gets older, i noticed a lot of stuffs coming up on my face, i used lancome spot corrector for them, i also put sunscreen on everyday now to protect:))
ReplyDeleteI need to try the lemon juice one! I've tried many things (I don't know if mine are 'age spots' or light large freckles- either way the ones next to my mouth drive me crazy) and I can't lighten them for the life of me!
ReplyDeleteOMG, this is such a great post because I just saw one on my face the other day and I know it's from too much sun as a kid eventho i wear sunscreen everyday. I've tried the clinique even better skin corrector but I'm gonna try these others that you mentioned. Great post

My mom uses SK cellumination series and they're really helpful. Her skin tone is improved by far, and the age spot is reduced. It's a really great product I think. I've not tried it myself though, I haven't got any age spot :p
ReplyDeleteThese are awesome tips!!! Great post, i really need to try a few of these! Even if they are just preventative measures! ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat advice! <3

I use the clinique one!! Amazing. I have tons of freckles on my face, so my dark spots are sort of camouflaged, but I can tell when new ones appear, or my freckles start to spread and glob into one. Works like a charm - SPF is a must!
ReplyDeletegreat post xo
ReplyDeleteA good concealer does the trick most of the time but I usually have to just learn to just live with it :(
ReplyDeleteI am dealing with age spots- funny thing is I actually thought you might have done a post about it and you did. I will definitely look into your suggestions. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteGreat post, thanks for the info!
