There are many natural ways to remove age spots. Which methods you choose depends on how many you have, how dark they are, and your natural skin tone. If you have a lighter skin tone, fading age spots won’t be as noticeable. If you have a darker skin tone, fading them can lead to more skin discolorations or spotty colored skin. Fading an entire area, (for example your face) might be the least noticeable way to remove them.
If you don't already have them, the best way to avoid getting age spots is to stay out of the sun. Use sunscreens, wear hats and protective clothing, and stay indoors during the middle part of the day when the sun is highest and strongest. If you already have them, it's never too late. Protect yourself from the damaging rays of the sun and you can help prevent further damage!
To keep skin youthful, stay out of the sun as much as possible, use sunless tanning lotions for a natural looking tan, and wear sunscreens regularly when you do go out into the sun.
There are many fade creams on the market that will really help fade age spots. However, there are many other ways you can fade, reduce, and remove age spots too. In a down-turned economy, its helpful to know some unconventional ways to handle them.
Your Diet to Remove Age Spots
Your diet has a direct effect on your the way your skin looks. If you aren't eating healthy foods, how can you expect your complexion to reflect anything good? Include fresh fruits and vegetables as often as possible. Drink lots and lots of fresh pure water to help flush impurities and toxins out of your skin. You'll have a much healthier looking complexion!
Avoid sweets, caffeine, alcohol, tobacco and junk foods. All of these contribute to aging and affect your skin negatively.
Avoid rancid oils. Refrigerate nuts, grains, and seeds after you open them. Try to avoid many fried foods as the hot cooking oils contain toxins that may damage your skin.
Eat Beta Carotene/Vitamin A rich foods such as carrots, spinach, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, mango, and cauliflower. Eat more Potassium rich foods such as banana, potato, coconut-water, curd, soybeans, orange, pumpkin, sweet potato, almonds, spinach, and ground-nuts.
Vitamin E helps slow down the aging process and aid in tissue (skin) repair. Eat Vitamin E rich foods such as Almonds, Cashews, Peanuts, sunflower oil, sesame oil, and peanut oil. Also include Vitamin C rich foods such as kiwi, strawberries, guava, papaya, grapes, oranges, and tomatoes.
