Dr. Jo’s comment: Let me know how these natural skin care products work for you if you give them a try. (I have no financial interest in anything mentioned on this page – just thought that it was interesting information).
Your face is vulnerable to skin aging. That is because it is made up of thinner skin layers. It is also exposed to the sun all the time.
When the skin is exposed to the sun, the collagen fibers in it get damaged. As a result, our integumentary system produces melanin to counteract the negative effects of UV rays.
Facial age spots do not have to be a permanent condition. You can still get rid of this skin problem easily with the help of the following natural treatments.
1. Use natural peelers
Peeling the damaged layers of the skin can help push the younger and healthier dermis layers to the surface. But this method has to be done circumspectly. You wouldn’t want to peel even the deeper layers of the skin. Peeling skin also tends to get itchy. If you have sensitive dermis to begin with, you should try milder treatments.
I can suggest using lactic acid found in sour milk and bilberry. Lactic acid is an AHA peeler. It can slough off dead skin cells and it can facilitate mild dermis regeneration. Lactic acid also has healing benefits. It contains Vitamin A that can bridge gaps between damaged dermis tissues. This will improve the youthful structure of your dermis.
2. Try applying pearl powder mask on the affected areas
If you like the smooth and fair skin of Chinese women, you can try emulating their skin care regimen. They use pearl powder to keep their dermis firm and fair. Pearl powder has whitening benefits that can inhibit the excessive production of melanin. This natural remedy also works in lessening the effects of the sun to the skin.
Try mixing pearl powder with papaya juice. Papaya is also a good whitening remedy as it contains Papaine extract. Apply the paste on the affected areas of your face. Let it stay there for about an hour.
3. Look for a whitening cream that can penetrate deeper into your dermis
There are numerous whitening products in the market today. Look for natural products that contain Extrapone Nutgrass, Phytessence Wakame and Maracuja.
Extrapone Nutgrass is a plant that has bleaching properties. Experts found out that it can gradually lighten up skin tone by up to 45% during the first two weeks of use. Phytessence Wakame is a type of sea kelp that can prevent the loss of hyaluronic acid. This acid is vital for the lubrication of collagen fibers. Maracuja can keep your skin hydrated. It can mimic the moisture-retaining functions of the skin.
Combine these treatments if you want to get rid of facial age spots. Use these treatments religiously for best results.
