How to get rid of age spots on face
June 17, 2008
Age spots, liver spots, senile lentigines, or solar lentigines: call them what you will, but age spots are a common problem, and often times people are genetically predisposed to getting age spots. The most obvious causes are skin damage from either age or exposure to the sun. Apart from the face, age spots can also often appear on the hands, back, and feet. Neither can they be called as freckles nor are they moles. Thus, getting rid of facial age spots becomes all the more confusing. Several causes may be attributed to it, including prolonged exposure to the sun and also your genes.
In order to learn how to get rid of age spots on face, one can use special cream. The topical creams are based on vitamin A (Retinol), Vitamin K, glycolic acid and licorice extract can be used at high enough doses to help lessen the appearance of the sun spot over time. If you want a more long lasting method of treating your age spots than a chemical peel – consider laser resurfacing which eliminates the age spots by removing the surface layer of the skin. Laser treatment is extremely effective and likely to be much more long term than a chemical peel but it can be costly.
Few other tips on how to get rid of age spots on face
Get fresh air! Get outside and let your skin breath and do a face mask every week. Choose one that best suits your skin type. Try to keep your hair off your face and don’t be tempted to touch your skin or pick your spots. It only spreads them & eat healthily and get plenty of sleep.
Go to your GP and check you don’t have intolerance to a type of food. The cereals in many cases for skin are awful and it may turn out into intolerance to wheat! Make sure you check!
Dab either toothpaste, tea tree oil or whatever on your spots before bed to dry them up – whatever works best for your skin type.
Try to wear hardly any foundation, concealer or any other make-up on your skin because it will only clog them. If you absolutely have to, wear a treated product that contain Aloe, holy basil, turmeric that is an oil free base.
