Getting Rid of Age Spots is a Simple Science

Let's face it, many people want to get rid of age spots but it can be confusing with all the treatments available.

But, I, for one don't want to go to extreme measures like chemical peels and expensive laser therapies to get rid of them. I want a more natural solution. Maybe you do too.

But I'm getting ahead of myself. First let me explain what causes age spots. These brown spots are officially called solar lentigines and are caused by too much sun. The brown spots are patches of tanning pigment or melanin--the same process that causes all over tanning and they're most evident in light skinned people.

Age spots are safe but their presence means you've probably had a few sunburns in your day so you might be at risk for skin cancer. It doesn't hurt to be checked out for this by your doctor.

Now that you know what causes age spots, you can prevent more from forming by protecting yourself with a good sunscreen, large hat, long sleeves/pants and avoid the mid day sun.

To get rid of existing age spots you can find a good cream with safe and effective ingredients to fade age spots. I'll get to that in a minute, but first, why don't I like the chemical peels and laser therapies?

Well, besides the expense in time and money, they destroy valuable skin cells near the age spots which can result in scarring and cell damage. And, you have to repeat the treatments as new age spots form.

Research shows you can get rid of age spots with a convenient and natural approach. By reading the labels on your skincare products, you can learn what ingredient will fade your age spots by up to 40% without harsh side effects.

This ingredient is called Extrapone Nutgrass Root. Don't let the funny name fool you. This substance fades your age spots and gives you younger looking skin by blocking melanin production in your cells so those ugly brown spots just fade away.

Another ingredient I like to prevent wrinkles and skin sagging is called Phytessence wakame. It strengthens your collagen and elastin fibers which give your skin shape and elasticity. The Japanese have used it for centuries as part of their skin care and eat it in dishes like miso soup. This is one of the most powerful antioxidants available today in skin care.
