Is age spot a sign of aging or is it a sign of neglected skin? I know it does not really have anything to do with aging, however, it is a sign of neglecting to protect your skin when you were younger from exposure to the sun.
Tanning is dangerous, however, most people do not realize this until they reach a certain age and begin to experience age spots.
How to get rid of age spots is the question most commonly asked from those experiencing them.
There is a common belief that the only treatments available for treating these spots is cosmetic procedures such as Microdermabrasion, chemical peels, laser resurfacing.
These treatments have been around for a long time, however most people are not good candidates for any of them.
They all require removing the top layer of the skin which in turn leads to inflamed and irritated skin.
They require recovery time, can lead to further damage depending on your skin type, are expensive and require repeat treatments.
Before considering doing any of the above treatments check with your health care provider and make sure the person doing the procedure is license and qualified to do so.
Also make sure you are a good candidate for any of them.
How to get rid of age spots has been studied by many researchers and they have discovered that there are natural ways to treat them.
The use of bleaching ingredients has been commonplace for many people however it has been discovered that bleaching creams do further damage to other parts of the skin.
So through a lot of research and testing a company based in New Zealand has discovered a natural plant-based substance that they have been successfully using in their skin whitening cream.
This substance known as Extrapone Nutgrass is known to effectively and safely whiten the skin giving you an even toned complexion.
Extrapone Nutgrass is a melanin inhibitor and as you might know melanin is what gives the skin its dark color.
Melanin reacts to the UV rays of the sun and wherever there is an accumulation of melanin in the skin, when the sunlight hits that section of the skin age spots will eventually form.
Using a skin whitening cream containing Extrapone Nutgrass along with a host of other natural, active ingredients is the safest and most effective way to get rid of age spots.
However in the meantime try to cover your skin when venturing out in the sun as this will help to prevent further age spots from being formed.
