Discover an Easy Way to Fade Age Spots
A friend asked me the other day a question that I made me stop and wonder.
She asked, "what are age spots anyway?" Well, my first reaction was to answer, "you know, those brown spots on your skin".
But then I thought about it.
I mean, after all, we can all describe them, but do you know what causes them? I didn't either, so I did some research.
I found most age spots are caused by overexposure to the sun.
And they're especially common in people with light skin who burn easily.
So if you've had too many sunburns in your day you might start seeing these brown spots turn up early in life.
You might even see them in people in their 20's and 30's.
What happens is this, your skin absorbs the sun's ultraviolet rays and causes your skin to tan or burn.
Over time, your skin creates more pigment than normal through tanning in certain areas.
These areas of "extra" pigment show up as flat, brown spots also known as liver spots or age spots.

Luckily, age spots are harmless.
But they can look similar to other spots that can be signs of skin cancer so you should have them checked out by your doctor regularly.
To protect yourself against creating more age spots in your future you should protect yourself against the sun now.
Wear sunscreen, a hat, long sleeves and pants and avoid harsh mid day sun, particularly if you vacation or live in a semi or tropical climate.
To fade existing age spots you can use one of the over the counter bleaching creams.
One of the most effective includes an ingredient called Extrapone Nutgrass Root.
Unlike harsh creams that contain hydroquinone, which can be irritating, Extrapone Nutgrass Root is soothing and effective at fading brown spots.
What it does is inhibit the production of melanin in your skin so it lightens your spots without harmful side effects.
It will also fade freckles.
