Secret Herbal Ingredient as Age Spot Remover

Age spots, also known as liver spots, don’t have as much to do with aging as you may think. In this article we’ll take a quick look at what causes these blemishes and the options you have for removing them. I especially want to tell you about a natural herbal age spot remover you’d be well advised to try before doing anything drastic.

So, what causes age spots? Contrary to their name, age isn’t really the big problem. The sun is actually the main cause of these blemishes. Prolonged sun exposure causes abnormal amounts of the pigment melanin to be deposited in the skin. This eventually turns into brown blemishes.

What can you do to remove them?

There are several dermatological procedures that can fade or remove age spots. These really should be a last resort though, unless you are flat out desperate for whatever reason to get rid of these blemishes as quickly as possible.

Options range from fairly painless but expensive laser treatments to fairly painful and expensive chemical peels or dermabrasions. These all have to be administered by a doctor.

More than likely you are probably looking for a topical treatment though, and that should be your first course of action.

The most popular prescribed treatment will be Hydroquinone creams. While generally considered safe to use as a topical treatment, this bleaching agent have come under intense scrutiny to the point where the FDA proposed a ban on it in 2006. It is known to cause severe skin irritation in some cases.

An extremely safe, natural age spot remover that I would highly recommend you try comes in the form of creams containing Extrapone Nutgrass root. The extract of this Indian herb has been proven to inhibit melanin by as much as 40%, and also has a proven skin lightening effect. You should allow about 4-6 weeks for results.

Another great thing about this extract is that it was originally developed to relieve skin irritation, so it will be really gentle and easy on your skin in addition to the marked whitening effect it provides.

Ultimately what you choose to use to relieve yourself of the brown spots is up to you. Just remember that harsh chemicals or expensive specialist procedures aren’t the only options available to you.
