Skin Care For Age Spots Or Freckles

An adequate supply of fluids, both internally and externally, is of great importance. Diet can also cause spots to appear, so alcohol and bad fats should be avoided.

The brown patches of skin on the hands that appear over time are a clear sign of aging. In this post you will find tips on skin care for  age spots or freckles.

What should i know about age spots ?

As the years go by, blemishes appear on our skin due to a melatonin imbalance. Therefore, older people have more age spots on different parts of the body, but especially on the hands, neck, shoulders, arms and face.

Certain factors influence the occurrence, such as exposure to the sun, inadequate skin care, genetic predisposition.

Diet, water consumption, alcohol, nicotine, make-up, use of certain cosmetic products, menopause, pregnancy, drug intake, etc. are factors.

Preventive measures are of great help in preventing or postponing its appearance. Those who already have spots on their skin often want to cover up or remove them.

The following should be observed for prevention:

• Be careful with direct sunlight, especially during the summer months, as it can cause spots to appear. Use sun protection, even sun blockers for fair skin types (a high sun protection factor, SPF for children). Don’t forget your hands when applying lotion.
• Moisturize your hands regularly to prevent stains.
• Drink plenty of water. Toxins are broken down, the aging of the skin and the rest of the body cells is delayed.

• Eat a balanced diet rich in antioxidants. This helps keep the skin young and healthy. Spots and freckles are avoided.
• In the event that the spots are very deep or have existed for a long time, consult a doctor.

Natural care for stains on the hands

This treatment requires a lightening cream, lemon juice and a sunscreen with SPF. First, the lightening cream is applied to the affected area regularly to reduce the spots.

Don’t forget to always put on sunscreen before leaving the house! Make-up appropriate for your skin tone can cover up the stains in the meantime.

Apply lemon juice to the stains once a week, avoiding exposure to the sun that day as this may worsen the stains.
