Age spots are brown spots that occur on your skin as you age. They often occur on areas that have been exposed to the sunlight over the years. These age spots are benign and cause no problems other than being unsightly. However, there are a number of natural treatments that you can use to rid fade or remove them. However, some of these treatments take time to work and do not yield fast results.
Lemon Juice
Lemon juice is very acidic and can often be valuable in removing age spots. According to Organic Facts, lemon juice acts as a bleach and is even used in many over-the-counter bleaching creams. To use this remedy, apply fresh lemon juice to the age spots twice a day.
In approximately six to eight weeks you should begin to see a noticeable difference in how the age spots look. However, some people with sensitive skin may have some reaction to lemon juice applied directly to the skin, so if you start to experience a rash, redness or irritation, stop using the lemon juice and consult your physician.
Onion and Apple Cider
Onion and apple cider are acidic and can be useful in treating age spots. To use this remedy, Organic Facts suggest that you place an onion in a blender and then drain the juice out with the help of a strainer. Add the onion juice to an equal amount of apple cider. Then, use a cotton ball dipped into the solution, rubbing it over the area of age spots. According to Organic Facts, you should see a change in about five to six months by using this solution on a daily basis.
Frankincense
According to Organic Facts, frankincense oil has been used for centuries and has many different properties including cicatrisant, which helps fade away marks or scars on the skin.
This remedy can be used by taking a few drops of frankincense oil and adding it to a few drops of carrier oil such as almond oil. The solution can then be rubbed onto the skin on a nightly basis. After a few weeks of applying this solution, you should begin to see changes and even a disappearance of your age spots.
