How to remove age spots on the face and restore attractiveness

Rules for performing whitening procedures at home

Parsley is one of the most common and popular methods of combating age spots on the face. With the help of parsley, our ancestors got rid of spots around the eyes, on the forehead and nose:

A special cream is made from parsley, and it does not matter which part of the plant is used - stem, leaves or root. Grind the selected ingredient to a smooth porridge, apply to the problematic part of the face for at least 30 minutes. Experts also advise using nourishing creams after parsley so as not to harm your facial skin, especially if you have dry skin.
A mixture of honey and parsley makes a highly effective whitening agent that helps with age spots and freckles. The recipe for making the cream is similar to the previous one, but you need to add one small spoon of honey to the mixture. The product will help with blackheads on the face; it is also recommended to apply it to your arms and back if you have pigmented areas there.
For dry skin, experts advise using separate masks with the addition of sour cream or cream. This product will not only remove pigments, but also nourish the skin. This option is a good way to cope with shallow wrinkles on the forehead.

In order to remove unnecessary moles and freckles, a special decoction is made from lemon peel. It also helps to lighten the back and arms; even stretch marks can be treated with special lotions with lemon infusion. The recipe is extremely simple: cook the lemon peel for about 30 minutes over medium heat until it boils. Let the broth brew in a cool room, wipe problem areas three times a day.
A noticeable effect can be obtained by combining lemon juice with parsley. Mix a decoction of parsley root with lemon juice and wipe the pigmented areas three times a day.

Using natural remedies

Nature has given us a lot. It’s a pity that we don’t appreciate this, because often it is she who comes to our aid. In the case of age spots, there are many ways to get rid of them using natural remedies.

Medicinal fees

Senile lentigines (pigment spots) most often form not only due to old age itself, but also other problems. Often these are liver problems. In this case, you can simply drink the decoctions and after a couple of weeks they will disappear. In this case, the following plants are suitable for decoctions:

celandine,
dandelion root,
St. John's wort,
spurge.

Herbal remedies

Pigment spots can also appear due to problems with the gastrointestinal tract. Then a few other plants will come to the rescue:

tansy,
sagebrush,
walnut leaves.

You can buy such preparations, or if you want, assemble them yourself.

Diuretics

Lentigo often appears due to kidney problems. In this case, and even if they are not there, diuretics help well:

If you know for sure that you have kidney problems, give preference in food to foods high in vitamins PP and C :

sour berries and fruits,
carrot,
cereals,
dried mushrooms,
fresh greens,
hard cheeses,

The product can be used 3 times a week, but therapy must be carried out for at least a month.

Fruit and berry masks

The mask can be made from a variety of berries: from all forest and red berries (strawberries, strawberries, raspberries, etc.), from watermelon and melon.

In a blender you need to beat the ingredients to a paste, add a couple of drops of lemon juice. Apply this mask to the spots and leave it on for 40 minutes. After this, you need to rinse off the product with water.

There is only one caveat, because of which it is better to do the procedure at night - it is forbidden to go out into open sunlight for 2 hours after it.

Parsley mask

This plant, accessible to everyone, is a great way to get rid of stains. The mask is very simple to make: throw parsley into a blender and make a paste out of it, which we apply to problem areas for 45 minutes.

After the procedure, wash off the parsley with warm water and apply cream.

You need to repeat the parsley mask every day for 1-3 weeks.

Linden decoction

This remedy works very quickly. Already on the 3-4th day you will notice that the spots have disappeared.

We make the decoction as usual, only with maximum concentration. You need to rub the stains with this product twice a day – in the morning and at night.

Black radish

To prepare such a mask, take a radish and grate it on a fine grater.

Before applying it to problem skin, lubricate your hands with absorbent cream. We keep it on for half an hour, but if a burning sensation appears, remove it immediately. This product is not suitable for too delicate skin. The mask is washed off with water.

The procedure must be repeated every day for at least 1 week.

Cause of age spots

Let's figure out why pigmented spots appear on the face. First of all, the number of freckles and moles depends on the skin type itself. Allergic reactions that affect the skin are also possible. The color of pigmentation depends on the ratio of three substances, such as melanin, carotene and hemoglobin.

The main reasons for the appearance of age spots:

hormonal changes, this also includes pregnancy,
influence of age, skin aging,
consequences of improper depilation (mechanical damage to the skin).

It is difficult to completely get rid of pigmentation, but in folk practice there are many different recipes for significantly lightening the skin. These are various masks, lotions, compresses from decoctions of medicinal herbs, lotions, home peeling. It is quite possible to make pigment spots on the face invisible using folk remedies, but you need to perform the procedures regularly.

Every person's skin contains melanin. This substance is produced by special cells - melanocytes. The intensity of their work depends on external and internal factors. External ones include, first of all, exposure to ultraviolet radiation: in an effort to protect the body from the sun, melanocytes begin to produce more melanin, which, when oxidized, acquires a dark color and stains the skin.

There are also internal causes of hyperpigmentation. These include:

hormonal diseases and taking oral contraceptives with changes in hormonal levels,
diseases of the nervous system,
diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, liver,
vitamin C deficiency.

The development of hyperpigmentation must be treated carefully if it happened suddenly and was not preceded by prolonged exposure to the sun without protective equipment or cosmetic procedures on the skin (peeling, microdermabrasion). There is a possibility of diseases of the endocrine, nervous, and digestive systems.

If the reasons for the appearance of spots, freckles or excessive tanning are clear to you, you can try to fight them with available means.

Methods for removing stains

To solve the problem, you can use various remedies for age spots. A combined approach provides a quick effect.

Cosmetology procedures. In cosmetology clinics, chemical peels and laser resurfacing are performed. The purpose of the procedures is to remove the top layer of skin, in which dark areas of melanin are concentrated. Chemical peeling is a superficial burn of the epidermis, as a result of which the old layer dies and peels off, replaced by a new layer of skin without unsightly spots. Using different types of acids, a cosmetologist can control the depth of the burn, focusing on the degree and depth of pigmentation, which helps with superficial as well as stagnant spots. Laser resurfacing is safer and allows you to treat the skin at the required depth. The duration of skin recovery after these procedures is about a week, but requires maintenance therapy at home.
Home treatments. For shallow pigmentation, you can use face whitening masks at home. For them, natural remedies and inexpensive pharmaceutical preparations are used, for example, hydrogen peroxide, ascorbic acid. Home treatments do not provide as quick an effect as salon treatments and cannot remove deep age spots. But they are effective against tanning, freckles, and light sun spots. Also, using home remedies, you can achieve a prolonged effect of salon procedures.

When using skin whitening products, it is important to consider that the intensity of sun exposure on the unprotected epidermis increases. When removing its top layer and using masks to whiten facial skin in active sun, the risk of the problem progressing and the “spreading of spots” to larger areas increases.

Therefore, procedures to remove hyperpigmentation must be planned for the autumn or winter, when the intensity of ultraviolet radiation decreases. But even in the cold season, you should treat your skin with products with UV filters before going outside, which will serve as protection against the return of pigmentation.

Medicinal properties
