Also called age spots, making them less visible may be done by applying some things found in or around the home. Some of them may be in the medicine cabinet, refrigerator or even your garden. Continue reading if you're sick and tired of these unsightly marks that won't seem to go away.
Citrus fruits like orange, lemon and grapefruit are naturally acidic. However, they're light enough to be applied on most skin types and produce dramatic results. Their acidic property can help bleach those clumps of melanin. Using cotton buds, apply the juice of any citrus fruit found in your kitchen on the affected area and leave it there, preferably as you sleep.
Another effective yet mild bleaching agent is lactic acid, and buttermilk has it. If you find that citrus fruit juice makes your skin sting, then switch to buttermilk instead. It's gentler especially on sensitive skin types. Again, use cotton buds to daub it onto those discolorations and allow to it stay overnight.
See if you got vitamin E supplement inside your medicine cabinet. Using a clean needle, prick a capsule and directly apply the oil inside on your problem spots. It's also okay to apply the oil all over the face because it's a moisturizer that's rich in antioxidants. Antioxidants are effective against delaying and even reversing the signs of aging on the skin because they can neutralize free radicals effectively.
Another natural remedy for age spots is aloe vera. Check out your garden if you have this plant. The gel inside the leaves has to be smeared on the discoloration. This gel is also loaded with antioxidants. It's also used by many cultures in treating several different skin problems.
Aside from trying out these home remedies for ridding that brown spot on your face, you should do your share and protect yourself from too much sun exposure. Apply sun block that's formulated for your skin type. When stepping foot outside, use a pair of large sunglasses, wide-brimmed hat and an umbrella.
