How to Get Rid of Age Spots Today

Age spots ,or often called “liver spots”  (both sound depressing if you ask me !)   OR the clinical term “ solar lentigines” usually start to appear around the ages of 40-50.  In this age category myself I have recently started noticing some on my legs, due to  previous years of overexposure to the sun.  Age spots are marks on the surface of the skin.  They can be brown, black or gray, and are usually freckle-size to larger than a centimeter across.   They are an area of increased pigmentation, and usually flat and oval shaped. 

  So what’s the deal with these age spots and what do we do?  

Fortunately, age spots are harmless – they are just unpleasant to look at.   To rid yourself of them,  treatment options can range anywhere from bleaching to dermabrasion to chemical skin peels.  Other options include laser treatment or cryotherapy.    Problem is, these are all EXPENSIVE and an unpleasant process. 

BUT,  never fear, there are some things you can do at home to fade out those age spots without breaking the bank.  They take some time, so don’t expect results over night. 

Below are a few very easy and effective treatments to get you started today. 

Castor Oil -    apply to age spots two times a day.

Lemon Juice -very effective method – start out with a 50/50 mixture of lemon juice and water. Swab on to age spots and leave on for about 15 minutes.  Do this three times a day.  You can gradually increase the strength of the lemon juice to a point where you can apply straight lemon juice or a slice of lemon to the age spots directly.  Start out with a 50/50 mixture first and see how your skin tolerates it.

Yogurt and honey -  mix 1 teaspoon yogurt and 1 teaspoon honey together.  Apply to area. Leave on for 30 minutes and rinse off with warm water.

Aloe Vera gel -  Apply two times a day.  You will gradually see results.

Natural Skin Treatments Gaining Popularity

Keeping your complexion healthy and radiant is one of the easiest and smartest things you can do for yourself.  And spending a fortune on expensive products these days ,in my opinion,  is just plain unnecessary.
There are plenty of things from the garden, plants in your yard, or basic products found at the supermarket that can moisturize, cleanse, and exfoliate your skin to leave you looking younger and glowing.  
You can get started on your own natural skin care regimen by just opening up your kitchen cupboard.
So simple, so cost-effective   – wow !  Learn how to battle aging skin , wrinkles,  eye puffiness,  crow’s feet,  dry skin and oily skin problems and much more using natural items right from your kitchen. Learn how to make cleaners,  masks,  facial scrubs, toners, rosacea treatments and much more in just minutes.   
Just to get you started , I’m going to tell you some of the easiest home recipes to try today.  There are so many recipes that I can’t share all them with you , but here’s a few of the basics to get you off to a good start. 

Potato Cleanser (for dry skin or eczema)   Rub your face with a raw slice of potato.  Potatoes contain juice with vitamin C that is mild and soothing.  The juice thoroughly cleanses and toes your skin.  Rinse well and pat dry.

English Tea Astringent ( to cleanse and tone your skin)  Tea is a very powerful antioxidant found in many beauty  products.   Pick your favorite tea – green, orange, pekoe, jasmine – take ¼ cup boiling water and pour over 2 teabags and allow to steep for at least an hour. Combined the cooled tea with ¼ cup witch hazel and 1 teaspoon lemon juice (lemon juice is optional for oily skin).  Stir mixture well and pour into clean bottle.  Apply to clean skin with cotton ball or pad.

Simple Banana mask  (used for dry skin)  Mash and stir a banana in a bowl until it is smooth and creamy.  Apply to face for approx. 10 minutes.  Rinse well with warm water and pat skin dry.  Discard what you don’t use.
OR  you can also make a banana mask by using 2 teaspoon banana, 1 teaspoon milk and 1 teaspoon honey. Apply to face for approx. 10 minutes. Rinse well with warm water and pat skin dry.   Milk and honey also smooth the skin.
Vitamin E (for wrinkles)  Take the strongest vitamin E tablet you can find and dissolve it in ½ teaspoon boiling water. Let water cool until comfortable to the touch. Add it to a small amount of eye cream – pat gently under the eye and around the mouth.  Vitamin E is a topical antioxidant that’s been proven to prevent oxidation of tissue.

For Enlarged pores, try a packet of raw sugar with enough lemon juice to make it spreadable, and rub into nose and chin area where large pores tend to settle.  Rinse with warm water.  Raw sugar is a natural glycolic acid that loosens dirt and dead skin.
