Remove New Age Spots

Tuesday, September 8, 2009

When you were three years old your freckles looked really cute and as you grew older lolling about in the sun was bliss especially in winter. But then you found that your cute freckles had degenerated into ugly age spots and now your face had a dull brown look to it. Now the age spots tell anyone who cares to look that you are old. Ouch!
When skin is exposed to bright sunlight, your body starts the production of melanin to protect itself from the UV rays. If exposure to the sun continues then these become spots of brown that provide further protection but they also look a tad ugly. This is a problem that is always around especially for women and for this there are many treatments that have been developed so ladies with age post problems can get relief.
Some of the treatments would include creams, laser removal and chemical peels. But better than all these are the natural way to a spot free face. As they say prevention is always better than cure. Start taking care of your skin today and you will benefit from good clear skin for a long time to come.
As we know, the sun is the biggest and primary cause of age spots so the first step would be to protect your skin from the sun. Sunscreen is the first step followed by sunglasses and a large hat if possible. Wear protective clothing where your arms are covered and cover every inch of exposed skin with sunscreen. Light skin has lesser melanin than brown skins and they are far more prone to damage from the sun?s rays so lighter skinned people need more protection.
A careless skin care routine can lead to hyper-pigmentation of the age spots and this will be more so if you are already prone to acne, rashes and have wounds on the face. Wounds and rash created blemishes are easily removed but if these healing spots get exposed to the sun then the time taken to heal fully is far more.
Your genetic make up is also responsible for your skin tone, skin color and overall health of our skin. You may have inherited problematic skin or some allergies which in turn cause things to pop up on your face including age spots. This gene pool is probably the reason why Latinos have lots of age spots but hardly any blemishes from the sun.
Be alert to the type of creams and lotions you use on your face. There may be a product in it that does not suit your skin type and you will end up with age spots. Harsh chemicals also have the same reaction by the body which is to start the production of excess melanin which then results in brown spots and if the damage is a lot then you would need lots of treatment to set it right again.
So look after your skin and maintain good skin care routine and watch your skin go from dull to glowing and watch your age spots melt away leaving behind fresh young skin.
