Have you ever noticed that your skin seems to be getting a bit of an uneven, mottled look to it as you have gotten older? Perhaps it is on your arms, chest, shoulders, forehead, cheeks, nose or other high points of the body that the sun hits? Let me break down a bit of what these age spots are & what causes them.
Age spots are flat brown, grey, or black spots on the skin. They usually occur on sun-exposed areas, like the backs of your hands and your face. Age spots are also called liver spots, senile lentigo, solar lentigines, or sun spots.
They are caused by overactive pigment cells. Ultraviolet (UV) light speeds up the production of melanin, a natural pigment that gives skin its color. On skin that has had years of sun exposure, age spots appear when melanin becomes clumped or is produced in high concentrations
The first & most important step to protecting your skin against age spots is SPF. This is a total non negotiable, regardless of your skin type & colour.
My number one tip here is to also ensure you always cover your neck & chest as well. The chest is a beacon for UV rays & is very prone to age spots.
Now whilst you can try a million different creams, serums & lotions, they will only target the external symptoms, and often take months upon months of use to only see a small result. But did you know that there are actually a host of incredible herbs & vitamins you can take to help speed up the skin cell turnover & regulate your body's melanin production to help diminish these age spots for good.
This is why it is best to heal your skin from within!
Lustriva is a revolutionary natural ingredient that has been clinically studied for its powerful anti-aging properties. During these clinical tests, it showed amazing results in reducing wrinkles, fine lines, and improving skin elasticity
Dandelion Root has a number of advantages for the skin. It helps increase cell generation to boost cell turnover, helping to reduce blemishes and fade scars and marks. It also slows the signs of aging by increasing collagen production in the skin as well as boosting the skin's hydration levels.
Red Clover helps preserve a bright, smooth complexion by reducing acne breakouts, refining pores, and minimising texture. It also helps boost circulation to promote a healthy glow and can speed up the skin's natural healing process to maintain clear skin.
Maca Root is a rich source of protein and vitamins that keep skin looking plump and glowy. It helps prevent and fade hyperpigmentation thanks to its role in collagen production and cell turnover. Maca Root also helps reduce the signs of ageing, including fine lines, wrinkles, and discolouration.
Iodine is a great complexion booster. It helps regulate moisture levels in the skin and assists in cell turnover to promote a clear, and bright complexion. It aids in skin healing, helps prevent and fade hyperpigmentation, and can reduce acne breakouts.
