What Are Age Spots ?

Age spots are sometimes called liver spots, which is somewhat confusing as they don’t really have anything to do with the liver. They are also known as sun spots – since the primary cause for their occurrence is sun exposure. They are flat dark patches, such as tan, brown, black or yellow spots and vary in size. When group together, they become more prominent. They generally pop up on the face, backs of hands, tops of feet, arms, shoulders, legs, upper back, chest and neck areas, which are more exposed to the sun.

Even though age spots can look like cancerous growths, but actual age spots are painless, harmless and as such don’t require any treatment. But people for aesthetic reasons want to get rid of them.

What Causes Age Spots ?

Old age spots usually occur in people having light-colored or fair complexion, but they can develop in those having darker skin as well. Following are the main causes of age spots:

(i) Age spots are produced predominantly by years of exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun. When skin is exposed to the sun, it triggers an upsurge in creation of cells known as melanocytes that build up melanin in the skin. On the areas of the skin that have years of regular and protracted sun exposure, dark patches emerge when melanin becomes “clumped” or is produced in excessive intensity. These dark patches are also known as brown spots, age spots, dark spots, sun spots and liver spots.

(ii) The use of commercial tanning beds and tanning lamps can also lead to the occurrence of age spots.

(iii) They occur due to genetics reason also.

(iv) Apart from UV exposure, just getting old can upsurge ­­­melanin production causing old age spots.

(iv) Some people claim factors like stress, pregnancy, vitamin deficiency may also cause this problem.

How To Get Rid Of Age Spots On skin ?

You can fade, lighten or remove age spots by using a number of different methods, such as using home remedies, skin-bleaching products, OTC and prescription products, or using professional age spot skin treatments. However, if you’re good about protecting your skin from ultraviolet light – by avoiding the sun and using sunscreen – you might be able to prevent age spots and maintain your skin’s youthful appearance. But if you go out frequently for prolonged periods without any sunscreen, you will probably get them early in life.

The professional treatments for age spots are very expensive.  Each professional procedure tends to be much more expensive than the others. If money is a factor with you, here are the best selected home remedies and over the counter treatments for getting rid of age spots:

Home Remedies For Age Spots

(1) Lemon Juice For Age Spots Removal: Lemon juice contains citric acid, which can help to bleach and get rid of brown spots. Moreover, it helps in maintaining soft, clear and beautiful skin.

(i) Simply apply a little fresh lemon juice directly onto the sunspots, leaving it on for 30 minutes before rinsing off with cold water. Repeat this natural remedy twice a day for about two months to see positive results.

(ii) Another way is to mix in enough sugar with lemon juice to form a paste. Use it as a scrub onto your skin, particularly on the age spots, leaving it on for about 10 minutes, and then rinse it out. Apply this home remedy few times a week. If you have dry skin, add in some olive oil in this natural recipe.

Cautions:

(a) If you have very sensitive skin, direct application of lemon juice can irritate your skin, so first dilute the lemon juice with water, rose water or honey before applying.

(b) Lemon juice causes your skin to get more sensitive to sunlight and can render the age spots worse, so never go outside with lemon juice on your skin.

2. Buttermilk To Exfoliate And Fade Age Spots And Blemishes: Buttermilk contains lactic acid that bleaches the skin in the same manner as the citric acid in lemon juice. The difference is that it works without drying out your skin and can be used directly on even very sensitive skin.

(i) Apply a little buttermilk directly on your brown spots using a cotton ball and leave it there for about 15 to 30 minutes, before rinsing it out with water. If you have oily skin or acne, it’s a good idea to mix in some lemon juice with buttermilk. Apply this home remedy twice in a day.

(ii) To make this remedy more effective, mix 4 teaspoons of buttermilk with 2 teaspoons of tomato juice, since tomato juice is known to contain bleaching properties that too works as an age spot remover. Use this remedy twice in a day.

(i) Dilute some ACV with an equal amount of water. For added benefits, you can add in honey. Apply this mixture onto your age spots leaving it on for about 30 minutes, and then rinse it off. You can also use straight ACV, but it may sting. You can apply this treatment once in a day, as ACV can dry out your skin. Use this remedy regularly for 5-6 weeks to see positive results.

(ii) Another option is to mix 1/2 tablespoon of ACV with a couple of tablespoons of orange juice, and apply on the age spots. Wait for it to dry out completely, and then rinse it off. Repeat this process twice in a day for about 5-6 weeks to see the difference.

4. Castor Oil For Removing Age Spots: Castor oil has strong skin healing properties and thus can be used for treatment of brown spots or age spots.

5. Aloe Vera For Getting Rid Of Age Spots: Aloe vera is known for its skin healing and skin regeneration properties. So it is usually used to treat various skin problems, including age spots or brown spots – especially those caused by sun exposure.

(i) Gently rub a little fresh aloe vera gel (for best results taken directly from the plant) on the age spots. Let it sit on the skin for about 30 minutes until soaked in.

(ii) It is so gentle that there is no need to wash it off. However, if you feel it to be sticky, then rinse it off with cold water.

(iii) Repeat this remedy twice in a day and within a month you will notice old age spots fading away.

(iv) If you don’t have access to the gel from an aloe vera plant, you can opt for aloe vera juice that you can buy from health stores or market. This too will work.

6. Sandalwood For Aging Spots: Sandalwood is known to be an anti-aging agent and an antiseptic. It helps to reduce hyperpigmentation and appearance of age spots.

(i) Homemade pack for getting rid of age spots: Mix 1 tablespoons of sandalwood powder, 1 teaspoon of rose water, and 1 teaspoon each of glycerin and lemon juice. Apply this paste onto the spots and let it dry out naturally for about 20 minutes. Wash it off with cold water. Repeat this natural remedy few times in a week, until your age spots or brown spots fade away.

Over The Counter And Prescription Products For Age Spot Treatments

Apart from the above home remedies, there are several over-the-counter treatments for removing age spots.

1. Hydroquinone: It is one of the most common and very effective bleaching creams that can substantially reduce the appearance of age spots. Its use also happens to be somewhat controversial. This cream has been banned in by European Union, due to its potential carcinogenic properties. However, some dermatologists continue to recommend it as a useful product as long as it’s used in lower concentrations.

2. Retin-A, Age Spots Remover: The anti-ager does more than just fight fine lines and wrinkles – it also improves the skin’s texture, elasticity, fade discoloration, sun damage and targets hyperpigmentation, including age spots. As brown spots begin to develop, retinol prevents them from attaining full maturity. Also it helps to remove age or brown spots by exfoliating skin, getting rid of outer hyper pigmented layer of the skin, and revealing the new, fresh skin underneath.

3. Age Spot Lightening Products: Choose a skin lightening product that also contains chemical exfoliants, such as glycolic acid or salicylic acid. They gently work by sloughing off dead skin cells, reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, age spots and effectively brightening your skin. As they remove top layer of the skin, thereby they help penetration of active ingredients, making the lightener more effective.

Since, they contain chemicals, so can be somewhat harsh on your skin. Sometimes they cause redness and discomfort. To counter this, you should always try to moisturize your skin after using such products.

Note: While using over-the-counter products always make it sure to follow the directions given on the labels of the products.

Natural Beauty Tips:

(i) Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen daily; otherwise spots will reappear, no matter which fading remedy or treatment you use.

(ii) The sunscreen also will keep your sun spots from getting any darker or more visible.

(iii) If you decide you want to use any O-T-C treatment, you better consult a dermatologist to find out what treatment is best for you.

Fresh coconut water (not that shelf-stable concentrated stuff) is deeply hydrating, sans any greasiness. It has plant growth hormones called cytokinins that promote tissue cell growth. So, it’s great natural ingredient for anti-aging.

You will need:

(i) Coconut water: 4 parts

(ii) Witch hazel: 1 part

(iii) Rosewater: 1 part

Method:

(i) Mix the coconut water, witch hazel, and rosewater in a glass spray bottle and shake it vigorously.

(ii) Store in refrigerator, and spray as needed. I like to spray it after applying moisturizer and again after applying makeup.

This concoction has ideal fighting properties against oily and / or acne-prone skin.

Notes:

(i) Make sure that the spray bottle to be used is well sanitized to prevent any spoilage of the ingredients.

(ii) If you are pregnant or nursing, talk to your doctor first before using any essential oils. They are strong and can penetrate into your skin and carried throughout your body!

The anti-aging face cream you use on the reg doesn’t have to be a synthetic chemical science project. In fact, the most effective and truly anti-aging remedies happen to be nature’s most simple and pure ingredients. Mix up this homemade anti-aging face cream and you’ll soften fine lines and moisturize skin, revealing a fresher and younger you.

The ingredients in this anti-aging cream individually have profound affects on the skin, but together, they complement one another in terms of texture, scent, and complexion benefits.

Almond oil is an emollient, which means it makes the skin softer. It has historically been used to treat psoriasis, eczema, and scarring. It soothes and rejuvenates skin and improves complexion and skin tone.

In one study, virgin coconut oil had the strongest scavenging effect on free radicals and the highest antioxidant activity. In another study, the antioxidant activity of virgin coconut oil was found to result in an increase of antioxidants and self-healing compounds of the body, resulting in rapid formation of cells and blood vessels in harmed areas. These studies are significant in that they indicate coconut oil’s antioxidant capacity and antioxidants are known to have considerable anti-aging effects.

Beeswax and shea butter both hold anti-inflammatory properties, vitamin E provides a boost of antioxidant power, and essential oils provide a pleasant aroma, which may offer therapeutic benefits as well.

Homemade Anti-Aging Face Cream

Makes about ½ cup (lasts about 3 months)

Ingredients

¼ cup almond oil
2 tablespoons coconut oil
2 tablespoons beeswax
½ teaspoon vitamin E oil
1 tablespoon shea butter
Essential oils of choice (optional)
Directions

Place all ingredients in a glass jar. Bring a pot filled about 3-4 inches with water to a simmer. Put the jar, without its lid, in the pot, and let it sit there until the ingredients have melted. Stir occasionally. Once the mixture has melted and all is evenly combined, pour it into a small glass jar. Let it sit at room temperature until the cream hardens, close the jar’s lid, and store in a cool place. Apply morning and night after washing.

Not into DIY? 5 Pure Products You Can Count On

If you don’t have the time, patience, or desire to make face cream, leave the task to the professionals.

Hit your local health food store’s beauty section or peruse online skincare retailers devoted to natural beauty, such as the Detox Market. When choosing a product, check out the product’s ingredients list and make sure you can pronounce all that is listed, unless you encounter the scientific name for something quite commonplace (e.g. jojoba oil can be listed as simmondsia chinensis). Opt for organic when possible.

The following five anti-aging face creams are tried-and-true favorites for many of those who keep tabs on the all-natural skincare world. Take your pick!

3. Simply Divine Botanical’s Skincredible! Sandalwood Revitalizing Elixir

You likely associate apple cider vinegar with the kitchen, but this natural wonder also deserves a spot on your vanity. From a banishing breakouts to treating dandruff, here's why ACV should be part of your beauty routine.

Skin in need of a serious pore-purging? For a DIY acne remedy, combine equal parts apple cider vinegar and bentonite clay. You can use this as a face mask or a spot treatment! "ACV is a natural astringent, so it balances out sebum levels, making it particularly well suited for oily and acne-prone complexions," says Tara Mackey, author of Cured by Nature and founder of The Organic Life. And bentonite clay draws out toxins and impurities. Don't miss these blemish-busting face masks.

Apple cider vinegar contains antimicrobial components, which act as a natural cleanser for the skin, while its alpha hydroxy acids and acetic acid gently dissolve dead skin and stimulate circulation, leaving your complexion looking brighter and tighter. "After rinsing my face with water, I like to soak a cotton ball with ACV and gently wipe my face in circles to wash away impurities," says Jacqueline Schaffer, MD, wellness expert, founder of Schique Skincare, and author of Irresistible You.


Beyond banishing bad breath, apple cider vinegar can also help remove stains and whiten teeth. That said, because it's acidic, it needs to be properly diluted and used sparingly—otherwise you run the risk of damaging enamel. The proper proportions: one part apple cider vinegar to two parts water. Gargle for about 60 seconds; rinse your mouth thoroughly with water, and wait at least 30 minutes before brushing your teeth. Discover the seven foods that whiten your teeth (and four to avoid).

Who doesn't love a relaxing soak before bed? Boost the beauty benefits of your bath by pouring in some apple cider vinegar. It contains vitamins B1, B2, B6, and C to nourish and soften skin. These are the reasons you should start taking apple cider vinegar baths.

The human body—including the scalp—has a natural pH of between 4.5 and 5.5, which is fairly acidic. Conditions like dandruff, bacteria, and fungus occur when our scalp pH becomes too alkaline, explains Mackey. One way to fight flakes? Mix together equal parts apple cider vinegar and distilled water. Massage the solution into your scalp and rinse thoroughly. Repeat once or twice a week. ACV's antifungal abilities help fight dandruff, while its acidic properties restore natural pH levels.

Product buildup can weigh down hair, making it look dull and lackluster. Sure, you could use a store-bought clarifying shampoo, but why not try a DIY remedy? Mix two tablespoons apple cider vinegar with one cup distilled water. After shampooing, pour the solution over strands. Rinse thoroughly, and follow with conditioner on the ends only. According to Jaya Jaya Myra, a natural health expert and author of Vibrational Healing, the acetic acid in apple cider vinegar strips away residue and restores shine. PS. Jessica Alba swears by this weekly treatment.

Apple cider vinegar can deliver much needed relief for sun-ravaged skin. Not only is it a powerful anti-inflammatory, but it also contains potassium, which helps speed up recovery. Combine one half-cup apple cider vinegar and four cups distilled water; soak a washcloth in the mixture and apply to the affected area to reduce redness and swelling and prevent blisters and peeling. If you're sunburnt all over, consider an ACV-spiked bath. Also, try these at-home sunburn remedies

According to Mackey, a weekly apple cider vinegar and vegetable oil soak can help strengthen weak, brittle nails. Added bonus: ACV also helps remove yellow stains and prevent against infection. Read up on the everyday habits you didn't know were ruining your nails.


Many chronic, inflammatory skin conditions—such eczema and psoriasis—occur when the skin barrier is compromised. Next time you experience a flare up, Earth Clinic suggests filling a spray bottle with equal parts ACV and distilled water, and misting skin twice a day. Its anti-inflammatory properties of ACV will help soothe itch and irritation. Be sure to follow with lotion to lock in moisture. Try these other home remedies for eczema and psoriasis relief.

Dirty makeup brushes (and sponges) are breeding grounds for bacteria. ACV's natural antifungal and antibacterial properties make it a great choice for disinfecting. Soak brushes for one minute in a 1:1 ratio of ACV to distilled water; then rinse thoroughly and allow to dry. Read up on the eight rules for having sanitary makeup and beauty tools

Try as we may, sometimes we can't avoid razor burn. Next time you find yourself with those pesky bumps and red rashes, skip the pricey store-bought formulas and reach for this affordable solution instead: Saturate a cotton ball with apple cider vinegar and pat it over the affected area. This will soothe irritation, reduce redness, and guard against bacteria that can lead to infection. These are the seven ways you're probably shaving your legs all wrong.

Anti-Aging Home Remedies for Your Skin
Whether they erase lines and wrinkles or conceal age spots, all anti-aging home remedies share one ultimate goal: to make you look younger. Your skin is your body’s largest organ and is one of the first parts of your body to give way to the natural aging process. Unfortunately, your skin also happens to be the first thing people see when they look at you.

Many people find that their skin becomes more sensitive as they get older, making it especially vulnerable to the harsh chemicals and preservatives that are added to many skin care products. That’s why anti-aging home remedies are so useful—they’re completely natural, so you know exactly what you’re putting on your skin, and they can still be just as effective as commercial anti-aging skin care products.

Here are three easy anti-aging home remedies for your skin.

• Yogurt Facial: Plain yogurt is a popular ingredient for anti-aging home remedies for the skin because it’s high in lactic acid, a form of alpha hydroxy acid that tightens pores and helps your skin cells regenerate. Studies have shown that when used in anti-aging home remedies, lactic acid can encourage the production of collagen and elastin, which are the two building blocks of wrinkle-free skin. Yogurt also contains zinc and vitamins A and C, whose antioxidant properties protect your skin against the free radical damage that causes wrinkles.

There are a few different anti-aging home remedies that include yogurt, but it works just as well on its own—just apply it on your face, leave it for 20 minutes, and then rinse it off with cool water. For extra exfoliation in your yogurt-based anti-aging home remedies, add oats; for extra moisturizing, add a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil; and to help brighten skin, add a few drops of lemon juice.

• Apple Cider Vinegar Toner: There are plenty of ingredients that double as anti-aging home remedies for facial toners to help improve the look of skin that has lost elasticity over the years. One popular item is apple cider vinegar. Because of its acidity, apple cider vinegar works as a natural astringent in anti-aging home remedies and renews your skin’s natural pH balance so that it isn’t too oily or too dry. Fill a small spray bottle with one part apple cider vinegar to two parts water. If you’re going to be using apple cider vinegar in any of your anti-aging home remedies, look for the kind that still contains the “mother”—this is a beneficial ball of enzymes, bacteria, and nutrients that you’ll see floating in the bottle.

•  Coconut and Lemon Scrub: Anti-aging home remedies that focus on exfoliating are important for your skin as you get older, because they increase blood circulation and get rid of the dirt and dead skin cells on the surface of your skin. Exfoliating also improves the function of your other skin care products—if you apply them after exfoliating, they’ll penetrate your skin better. Here’s one of the easiest anti-aging home remedies for a scrub: combine a half-cup of coconut oil (you can substitute with grapeseed, almond, or olive oil), two tablespoons of granulated sugar, and one tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice. Massage the mixture into your skin using small circular motions. Then wipe it off with a damp washcloth and rinse your face with cold water. Anti-aging home remedies like this one will leave your skin looking fresh, rejuvenated, and instantly younger.

Anti-Aging Home Remedies for Your Hair

As you get older, your hair will start to slowly change, too, and it isn’t just a matter of seeing gray strands. Do you notice your hair feeling thinner and drier, or more brittle and prone to breakage? These are all signs of aging hair. While certain products and styling tools will only exacerbate the problem, anti-aging home remedies can work wonders to strengthen strands and restore a more youthful look and texture.

Here are three anti-aging home remedies to infuse aging hair with renewed shine, body, and strength.

• Avocado and Honey Mask for Dry Hair: Avocados aren’t just for guacamole; they’re perfect for anti-aging home remedies too, because they work as a deep conditioner, thanks to their high protein, natural oils, and vitamins A and B. Honey is a humectant, which means it naturally attracts moisture and locks it in, which is what dry hair needs. Mix a half-cup of honey with two tablespoons of mashed avocado. You can also add a bit of extra virgin olive oil to anti-aging home remedies with honey to reduce some of its stickiness. Apply the avocado-honey mixture to clean, damp hair and let it sit for 15 to 20 minutes before rinsing it out.

• Beer Rinse for Limp Hair: You probably wouldn’t think of beer as an ingredient in anti-aging home remedies for your hair, but it works well to add body, fullness, and even shine to limp hair because of all the yeast in it. The trick to using beer in anti-aging home remedies for your hair is to make sure it’s flat first. One option is to use it as a leave-in conditioner by pouring it into a spray bottle and spritzing it on clean, towel-dried hair before styling. Alternatively, add a teaspoon of sunflower oil and one raw egg to a half-cup of flat beer. Lather it on to damp hair, leave it in for about 15 minutes, and then rinse it out with cool water.

• Raw Egg Treatment for Breaking Hair: Just like your body needs protein for strength, so does your hair, which is why you might see a lot of anti-aging home remedies that use eggs. The yolk is rich in fat and protein, while the egg white contains enzymes that help get rid of unwanted oils on your scalp. This is one of the easiest anti-aging home remedies. Simply beat an egg (use two if you have long hair) and apply it all over wet, shampooed hair. Rinse it off with cold water after 15 minutes.

Believe it or not, the visible part of your nails is dead tissue. This explains why it doesn’t hurt when you trim your nails. Strong and shiny nails are signs of a great beauty regime. But we forget the fact that a great diet plan is required for healthy nails. Food contains a lot of beauty nutrients, which greatly affect how your nails look.

Nails are the last parts of the body to receive nutrients, so if you have a poor diet, you’ll need to take special care of them or they could become weak and brittle. Eating the right foods can make your nails stronger and healthier naturally.

Here are the top 10 superfoods for healthy nails.

1. Beans

Different types of beans are good sources of biotin, a kind of B vitamin that prevents nail breakage and is essential for overall nail health. Even a mild deficiency of biotin can cause dryness of the nails and slow down nail growth. It can also cause the nails to become dark.

Types of beans that you can eat regularly for healthy nails are green beans, kidney beans, white beans, pinto and navy beans. You can eat these beans baked, boiled, or as part of a salad or soup.

2. Pumpkin Seeds

Pumpkin seeds contain zinc, a nutrient that helps the immune system function properly and plays an important role in forming connective tissues. Zinc also regulates the body’s ability to make new proteins that ultimately become building blocks of healthy nails.

Zinc deficiency can cause white areas on the nails, similar to the marks that occur when you put pressure on the nails. Try to eat a few pumpkin seeds daily to enjoy healthy and strong nails.

3. Broccoli

Broccoli gives your body much needed iron, another essential component for healthy nails.
