Natural Remedies to Lighten Age Spots

Our skin changes with age, and one of its signs comes in the form of small brownish-colored lesions. They are often called liver spots, despite the fact that they have no relation to a liver disorder. These spots are painless and usually appear on the neck, forehead, face, back, hands and feet. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, age spots are formed due to prolonged exposure to the sun or battles with disease or sickness.

While there are many clinical medications for treating age spots, these methods can be harsh, and may be detrimental to our health in other ways. Natural home remedies, however, tend to work just as well on age spots (without the side effects). But it is important to bear in mind that removing them completely will take time. Nevertheless, removing age spots is nothing near impossible - there are a number of ways to treat them and help diminish their appearance. Here is a series of home remedies to eliminate these blemishes from your skin:

1. Lemon Juice 
Lemon is frequently found in bleaching creams - the citric acid and antioxidants found in its juice are what make it an effective remedy. Simply apply a squeeze of lemon juice twice a day for six to eight weeks.
2. Onion and Apple Cider Vinegar 
Blend an onion and leave a few minutes to drain. Add an equal amount of apple cider vinegar and apply over the spots, using a cotton swab. Expect to see improved results within 5 to 6 months.
3. Castor Oil 
If your age spots appear to be rough in texture, apply castor oil twice a day for a couple of months. You will notice a distinct improvement in the appearance and texture of the spots.
4. Apple Cider Vinegar 
Add a couple of drops of apple cider vinegar to a glass of water. You may also add some honey to better the taste. Alternatively, you may add a couple of drops of apple cider vinegar to lemon juice, and apply the mixture directly on the spots, as opposed to consuming it.
5. Aloe Vera 
This miraculous herb has been shown to have tremendous potential in treating dermatological conditions like burns and scars. The gel or juice from Aloe Vera can be directly rubbed onto the age spots. It also stimulates the growth of new skin to replace old, dead cells, rejuvenating the appearance of your face and skin.
6. Horseradish 
Mix some horseradish into a bowl of milk for about 20 to 30 minutes and rub the mixture onto your age spots. Horseradish contains antioxidant and volatile compounds, helping age spots improve in just a matter of days. 
7. Olive Oil and Vinegar

Apply a spoonful of vinegar and olive oil to the spots and wash the blend off after 30 minutes.
8. Papaya 
Grate raw papaya and rub it on the spotted area. Wash off after a couple of minutes. This natural remedy should be done every day in order to gain its benefits.
9. Orange Juice and Apple Cider Vinegar 
To benefit from this recipe, apply 2 to 3 tablespoons of orange juice, mixed with half a spoon of apple cider vinegar. This remedy must be applied over the darkened regions for about a month, after which you should begin to see results.
10. Buttermilk and Tomato
Combine these two ingredients together and apply to the age spots.
11. Watermelon 
This fruit is rich in antioxidant compounds and vitamin C. It has been shown to positively improve the appearance of age spots, just rub the rind of a watermelon over them.
12. Cumin Seed 
Boil some cumin seed in water (cumin releases many of its essential oils when boiled). Once it has cooled to a warm temperature, wash your face with the cumin water and leave for 30 minutes, before rinsing with cold water.

13. Garlic 
A paste made from this ingredient is an efficient remedy in treating age spots.
14. Yogurt Mask 
Some people have claimed to see results in this natural remedy. First, wash your face with warm water, to open the pores on your skin. Then, gently pat dry and apply a light mask of whole-milk yogurt to your face, or on areas with age spots. Repeat daily for two months.
15. Cucumber Juice 
Due to the bleaching properties of cucumber's organic compounds, applying cucumber juice to age spots dramatically improves their appearance.
16. Onion 
Applying a sliced onion on the affected areas will reduce the color of an age spot. The organic compounds in onions, as well as its vitamin C act as a natural skin lightener.
17. Dandelion 
Dandelion stem is your go-to herb when dealing with skin issues. Age spots can also be treated effectively when consuming this powerful plant every day.
18. Radish, Vinegar, Lime Juice and Rosemary Oil 
Combining these ingredients together and applying it to the affected area cleanses the skin and brightens its color and glow.
19. Rose Water and Sandal Powder
These ingredients may be used to prepare and apply a mask over the relevant area. You may also add some saffron to the mix, as this too has some skin-lightening capacity.
