If you are like me, you probably already have one or two age spots by now. Many of us get them as early as our 40s. But, most of the time they become more prevalent in later years.
Did you know there are several varieties and names for age spots? They come in different colors usually limited to the three common ones black, red and light brown, they are also known as sun and liver spots.
The main reason we get these light brown spots is too much Melanin pigment production in any one area; this can cause age spots to appear gradually over time. But, on the other hand, you probably all ready know our skin needs melanin as its natural defense against the suns damage.
At first, most people don't really bother or worry about a couple of age spots here and there. However, as they get more numerous and become unsightly they try to find ways of getting rid of them. Naturally, the easiest most cost effective method is to find a skin care cream capable of lightning these spots.
The best hand lotion to prevent and lighten age spots should include natural substances that are proven to do this job. One in particular is Extrapone nutgrass root, which naturally inhibits melanin to gently whiten your skin and reduce irritation. This natural extract has been shown to reduce melanin by up to 40% in clinical trials.
Now as we all know prevention is better than the cure. So if you have a nice smooth blemish free skin, think about using a natural active day cream for one month, then use a whitening cream every alternate month. Using this strategy enables the ingredients from the different creams to work together in synergy, resulting in a better-combined anti-aging effect.
You don't need to resort to freezing off age spot tissue with liquid nitrogen. The cost of the treatment by your doctor and the inconvenience, far outweigh the low cost and convenience of using a whitening cream.
