Age dark spots

As we get older we are going to develop age dark spots on our skin. There really is no way to avoid that from happening. All we can do is trying to cover it up or fade those age dark spots, so that they are less recognizable to the naked eye. Before you try to fade those age dark spots, you must first take precautions to stop your skin from unnaturally looking older.

Skin care most important advice

The most important advice for skin care is avoid smoking, drinking alcohol, doing drugs and spending excessive amounts of time under the sun. Believe it or not, these four things are what makes most people look older than they are. Now you can try all the anti-aging creams, pills and cleansers in the world, but you won't see any results with those if you continue to abuse your body with stimulants. When it comes to smoking, alcohol and drugs, they can become quite addictive.

If you are doing all three then you are going to have a long journey ahead of you just to quit them. Fading your age dark spots will be the last thing on your mind, but once you are able to quit all three then it will help prevent your skin from forming other age dark spots. As for the sun light, you don't have to totally quit going out in the sun. Just don't spend whole afternoons in the sunlight. If you go to the beach simply spend an hour a day for a few times a week. That shouldn't be enough to burn your skin that much, but instead will give it the Vitamin D it needs.

Skin spots simple treatment

Once you have taken preventive action, the next step is to apply treatments to your skin. Before you do, wash your skin without irritating or drying it. Then apply a natural cleansing lotion with 10% glycolic acid. It is a lotion derived from sugar cane and fruit. This should be applied in the morning and at night before you go to sleep. Next, you may notice age dark spots that need to be lightened on your body. Try applying a lotion that is 5% kojic acid on those age dark spots.

Now it is critical that you continue to stay out of the sun after you apply these lotions. If you are subjected to prolonged sun exposure after applying these lotions then it could cause an increase in skin irritation or take several more weeks before you see any results.
