I’ve noticed age spots starting to develop, how can I prevent them, or lighten them?

I have those too and Bio Oil is good but is a commitment as takes several weeks of daily applications. Definitely worth it though

You can prevent them by staying out of the sun but they can be a side effect of pregnancy, Clinique do a serum that is good for lightening brown spots

Lemon juice is the obvious choice, applied to the affected area, every day, in a few months you will notice the difference.

Doesn’t lemon dry your skin out? :confused:

I hate my brown spots they look so horrible and have always made me feel so self conscious I never let anyone see me without my foundation on so I would love to find a treatment to get rid of them instead of just covering them.

If you have the time apply Aloe Vera directly to the brown spots for 30 minutes morning and night and you should notice a difference

Adding a drop of vetiver (https://www.organicallypure.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?917-Vetiver-Chrysopogon-zizaniodes) essential oil to a carrier oil can help to fade age spots, or areas of darker pigmentation.

Why would you want to rid or lighten age spots?

Would eating a diet rich in skin healthy foods, such as nuts and seeds for Vit E help, looking at foods that can help to rejuvenate the skin, or apply topical treatments which aid in cell renewal. I believe tomato’s are very good for skin, it’s the lycopene in the tomato that’s good and this is stronger in cooked tomato, specifically tomato paste.
