Skin Care Blog Post - Luminaze - How to Get Rid of Age Spots Fast

Posted by GirlieBlogger@Beauty Fashion Blog Seattle

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.

What Causes Age Spots?


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.

How to Get Rid of Age Spots Fast?


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.

Natural Treatment for Age Spots


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. 

Topical Treatments for Age Spots


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

Why it works: Uses the natural lightening properties in mushrooms to break down melanin in the skin. 

Price: $120.00 for 1 fl oz. bottle


Aveeno Clear Complexion Foaming Cleanser

Why it works: Contains natural ingredient chamomile to calm coloration and even out skin tone.

Price: $8.29 for 6 fl oz. bottle



Clinique Repairwear Foundation

Why it works: Matte foundation provides full coverage to conceal dark age spots.

Price: $32.50 for 1 fl oz. bottle

  5. 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.

  6. Products 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

  13. 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!

  14. Hydroquonine 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!

  16. I 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!

  20. 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

  21. These are awesome tips!!! Great post, i really need to try a few of these! Even if they are just preventative measures! ;)

  22. 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!

  23. A good concealer does the trick most of the time but I usually have to just learn to just live with it :(
