How to Get Rid of Sunspots
What are sunspots on your face?
Sunspots, also known as liver spots or solar lentigines affect many people. Anyone can develop sunspots, but they are most common in people with lighter skin and over 40. They are flat brown spots that develop on the skin. Over time the sun and the UV rays that it radiates cause the pigmented skin cells to multiply. If they become localized, then they can create a “spot” on the skin.
These spots can come in all different shapes and sizes. Typically, they occur on the parts of the skin that are more commonly exposed. The hands, face, shoulders, and forearms are the major hot spots. Sunspots are harmless and noncancerous, but often people do not like the way the sunspots make them look. There are treatment options available to reduce the noticeability of sunspots, although they cannot be entirely removed.
Can you prevent sun damage?
Since sunspots and sun damage is caused by harmful UV rays the best way to prevent sun damage is to avoid going out in the sun. Since that is not really feasible, there are some simple steps you can take to help reduce the amount of damage the sun does to your skin. If possible, avoid sun exposure during peak hours, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Also, when outdoors apply sunscreen every two hours. If you wear makeup, choose makeup with sunscreen or UV protection. Finally, cover your skin with clothing and hats to help avoid unnecessary exposure.
What can get rid of damage on your skin?
There are several ways to reduce the appearance of sun damage on the skin. These range from home remedies to professional help. Some treatments work better than others, and not every treatment will work for everyone. These are some of the ways which can help you to reduce sun damage.
Home Remedies
There are several home remedies that may or may not help with sunspots. All the preventative measures listed above will help with preventing the worsening of current sunspots or the development of new ones.
A good sleep schedule also helps with skin health. The nighttime is when your body does most of its repair. Eating well also helps to reduce the generation of new sunspots. Lots of vitamin C and healthy oils can help skin health. Cutting out booze, fatty meats, and sugary foods will also help. Finally, exercising helps skin health, and the earlier you start the better, although it is never too late. Many studies have shown that exercising has helped with skin health and condition.
Topical solutions
There are plenty of options when it comes to topical solutions. One is aloe vera. Some studies have proven that the aloesin and aloin in the aloe vera plants can help lighten sunspots and other hyperpigmentation. As for over-the-counter creams, anything that contains glycolic acid, hydroxy acid, kojic acid, hydroquinone, or deoxyarbutin could be helpful. The only way to find what works best for you is to try out creams. Make sure to apply them daily and to do so for a few weeks before expecting results.
