Get Rid Of Age Spots With Natural Treatments

Age spots are small irregular marks on the skin that start appearing as one grows older. These spots occur primarily because of exposure of the skin to sunlight over the years. Disorders in the proper functioning of the liver and nutritional deficiencies can also trigger the appearance of age spots. Consuming antioxidants through your diet is an effective way of preventing age spots. Also, you must make it a point to apply sunscreen lotion whenever you go out into the sun, as this helps a lot in the long run to stop age spots from appearing.

There are quite a few simple home remedies that you may follow to prevent the appearance of age spots. One of the most effective natural ways of making age spots less prominent is to extract the juice of an onion by grating it finely, mixing it with an equal amount of apple cider vinegar and dabbing the affected areas with a cotton ball soaked in this mixture. Daily application of this solution will help reduce the age spots gradually, in a month’s time. Alternatively, you could also drink a mixture of two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar and a liter of water every day. A tablespoon of honey may also be added to this solution for making it taste better. Massaging the affected areas with the juice of a fresh lemon is also known to be of use in treating age spots, as the juice’s acidic property has a bleaching effect on the skin that evens out irregularities in skin pigmentation. It is also believed that applying castor oil directly on the age spots every morning and evening helps fade them in a few weeks. For similar effects, you could also apply aloe vera juice on the affected areas twice every day. You should also massage your skin with vitamin E oil, preferably just after a bath, regularly to reduce the prominence of age spots. Dabbing the skin with buttermilk is also a popular remedy for age spots, since the lactic acid present in it removes spots and makes the skin look smooth and even in tone. For another remedy, soak a few chick peas in a little water for half an hour, then mash them to a fine paste and smear this on the age spots. Leave it on till it dries naturally and then gently wash it off with water. In addition, rub the spots with a small piece of garlic at bedtime every night to get rid of age spots.
