Age Spot Removal

Age spots, which are sometimes known as liver spots, are a discoloring that is caused by maximum exposure to direct rays from the sun. They are also referred to as hyper pigmentation. The dermis is the layer of the skin underneath the epidermis. Age spots on face and hands are the most common.

The best defense against age spots is to use a very good sunscreen product every day and apply it in the morning before you go outside. No matter what shape your face is in, using sunscreen will help prevent more age spots from appearing, and prevent the ones you have from growing larger.

Regular exfoliation also helps reduce the appearance of age spots as dead skin cells are replaced by new ones. I have heard some women have tried hydrogen peroxide every night until the appearance of their age spots are reduced. Hydrogen peroxide helps to bleach the skin. By turning the skin a lighter color with this lightening tactic, you may be able to reduce the appearance of age spots. I have not personally tried this method yet, but obviously it would be one of the most affordable treatments. I will update you with the results when I do.

If you decide to consult a dermatologist about age spot removal, one of the things that you will be told to do is to protect the area from the sun. Freezing and acid peels make the skin easier to burn as the skin is more delicate afterwards. Retin A is another popular age spot removal product however, it is only available through prescription. There are also over the counter creams with ingredients called Retinoids that claim to help reduce age spots.

You may decide to try some of the different products that are available online. There are so many products available it may be difficult to choose. Two different options available are Meaningful Beauty and ResDermatrol to name a couple. I have not heard anything negative about these two lines of anti aging skin care.

Sometimes you can try different products through a free trial offer, just remember to cancel before the specified time limit so you are not charged the full amount, and/or have them continue to send you additional products before you get the chance to try them out. You can always order more if you like the skin care line.

You may have to experiment a little to find what works best with your budget, skin type, color and skin problems. Whatever method you choose, you deserve to look your best, and who doesn’t want great looking skin?
