Age Spots Home Remedy

Signs and Symptoms of Age Spots

Age spots (also known as sun spots, liver spots, and lentigines), are harmless, flat, yellow or brown discolorations of the skin which usually occur on the back of the hands, neck and face of people above the age of 40. These age spots are usually not serious, but instead are mainly an annoyance since they can reveal a person's age. However, if you have irregular, dark spots that increase in size or change color/texture, have them checked by a doctor since they could be a sign of skin cancer.

Causes of Age Spots

Age spots are commonly a sign of sun damage by having the skin exposed to the sun over many years. In more serious situations, they can be due to impaired liver function or dietary and nutritional deficiencies.

For example, as we age, our metabolism changes and the liver can become overwhelmed with toxins. If the liver cannot rid the body of these toxins, age spots (liver spots) can begin to develop. Oxidation within the body and a lack of antioxidants in your diet can also play an important role in the development of age spots.

It is important to remember that age spots take years to form and eliminating them will take time, too. But don't give up! Try one of the remedies below for a few months, and if they don't improve simply try another one. Also, as a preventative measure, always use a sunscreen of at least SPF 15 if you plan to be outdoors in the sun for extended periods of time.

Home Remedies and Natural Cures for Age Spots Treatment

Age Spots Home Remedy Using Apple Cider Vinegar

When Apple Cider Vinegar is mixed with onion juice and applied directly to the skin, it can help you to get rid of age spots and sun spots.

Finely chop or blend an onion, and use a strainer or cheese cloth to squeeze and extract the juice.
Take one part of Apple Cider Vinegar and one part of onion juice and mix them together.
Dab a cotton pad into the solution and apply it directly onto the age spots.

Leave this on the skin for a minimum of 30 minutes, and as long as you are comfortable with it. Repeat this once a day for approximately 6 weeks and you should begin to notice a gradual improvement. If the spots have not completely disappeared after the 6 weeks but they have started to fade, keep repeating the process until they do.

To speed up the process, you can mix 3 tablespoons of Apple Cider Vinegar into a mug full of water (hot or cold), and drink this twice daily for a month. This will not only improve your age spots, but it will also give you a healthy young glow and make you feel energized and active. If you find the taste of the vineger to be too strong, try adding a tablespoon of honey as a natural sweetener.

Natural Cure for Age Spots Using Aloe Vera

Aloe Vera juice or gel has long been known as a general healing agent for skin problems, particularly burns. Many people have also found it to be helpful in reducing the visual appearance of age spots. Simply rub the juice or gel directly onto the affected areas twice a day, and leave it on the skin for at least 45 minutes each time. Within a month you should begin to notice improvements.

Home Remedy for Age Spots Using Lemon Juice

The acid in Lemon juice has been shown to help fade the appearance of age spots. Simply dab fresh lemon juice directly onto the spots twice daily and you should begin to notice improvements in about two months. Leave the juice on the skin for at least 30 minutes, or as long as you are comfortable with it. You can also leave the juice on the skin overnight.

NOTE: If you plan to go outdoors, wait for the juice to dry as it increases the skin's sensitivity to sunlight.

Using Castor Oil as a Remedy for Age Spots

Castor Oil has been shown to improve the appearance of age spots. Simple rub the oil directly onto the affected skin areas once in the morning and once in the evening. This should help fade the spots within a month.

Glo,leave the lemon juice on the skin for at least half hour or as long as you are comfortable with it.

Hi Fouzia, Try one of the above mentioned home remedies to minimize the dark spots. Usually there are underlying reasons for these kind of dark spots. Most often they are caused by sun exposure, iron deficiency, and/or hormonal changes. You should use sun block and take extra care when going out in the sun. Also consult with your physician for any possible hormonal changes or low iron levels.

I have used cold pressed organic coconut oil by Spectrum and the spots really faded. After a long time, I have more and am going to use that again--twice a day. try that again.

I am using the onion and apple cider vinegar. Just wondering, I juiced a whole onion and have a lot of juice left. It is stored in the fridge. Is this ok to continue to use this stored onion juice everyday, or am I meant to squeeze an onion a day?? My face is covered in sun spots, so I am hoping this remedy works!

All, thanks so much for this home remedies, I have many dark age spots/sun damaged on my both my cheeks & spreading. I had an expensive peel & it made them works, bringing more out & darker. I have used bleaching creams & nothing has worked. I have been to derm & it seems they just want give whatever creams & keep asking me to come back, none of that is working. After reading these reviews, I started using the lemon juice last night & will also be trying the Castrol Oil, both twice a day & I'm praying for some results as some of you have had. I'm 42 & no longer feel sexy or comfortable around people, I hate the spots on my face & they do make you feel older. It's horrible!!! If these remedies work I will be telling my sisters who also have dark age spots/sun damage to try, we have nothing to loose, except hopefully fading of the spots or a miracle & they completely disappear. I will keep you all posted. If anyone else has had good results please post them, I love to think there is hope.

Take one tbsp.of liquid honey and add one tsp.of cinnamon and by mouth in morning and before bed. Heals so many things that I cannot type them all.In Europe they call it the cure all. It tastes good so why not try it.

Just wanted to let people who suffer with dry sockets that this can be serious and you should go back to dentist. They will pack it with gauze that is moist with oil of cloves. The pain will disappear within minutes. Do not remove packing it is natual material that the body will dissolve on its own while your gum heals over the opening.Never take a dry socket lightly.

Posted by Sharon on Oct 02 2009 22:07:44

my dermatologist used liquid nitrogen and dabbed it on the spots on my hands and arms with a big cotton swab (Qtip). There was very little discomfort during the application and withing 2 weeks the dark spots started flaking off, within 30 days they were gone and you could hardly tell where they\\'d been. Best news of all, they did not come back. I\\'m a happy camper!

Hi, I have lots of age spots up and down both of my legs which has been diagnosed by two separate dermatologists. Lately they have been starting to sting particularly when i am wearing pants and sitting down. I have been trying all sorts of creams prescribed by the dermatologists but nothing seems to be working. Can anyone suggest anything that can help make the terrible stinging go away?

P.S: For those that don't know what a Garlic Press is, it is a hand-held gadget used for extracting juice from a Garlic Bulb. They are cheap to purchase and most probably one can be found in even a $-store and most definitely in any home kitchen utensil department. A Q-Tip works well for application of the mixture.

Posted by Anonoymous on Aug 18 2009 00:24:19

For the mixture of Apple Cider Vinegar and Onion Juice...prepare the latter as follows: Peel off outer layer of onion, cut into chunks suitable for the size of a Garlic Press. Fill press with a chunck and press over a small bowl. Measure quantity and transfer to a air-tight glass container. Add equal amount of Apple Cider Vinegar. (I found this method works better than a sieve/cheese cloth. One medium onion shud yield about 4 TBSPS. of juice. Rinse the press occasionally during preparation.)

My dad's been using a 'zapper' which is digital signal. I thought it was bs but he's been on it and it's taken out his liver spots. I'm vegan and I still think it's weird to use digital impulses for health but it's been working and apparently it's been giving him a detox from heavy metals as a side effect. 8-\ Still wary, but if it helps it helps. Personally I use the Apple Cider Vinegar and it's the best stuff I've found out there for general feel-good stuff. That 3 tsps to a hot mug of water is goodness. Now I'm going to say first; change your diet, drink more SPRING water, de-stress, stretch a lot, quit ALL dairy (dairy calcium is acidic and depletes human calcium stores, YOUR Mom's milk had human friendly calcium- cows don't), don't drink alcahol, all that is going to help an immune system and ward off disease that's caused by who-only-knows-what. However, in leiu of sounding like an advertisement, some knowledgeable people have been using this zapper thing and it seems to work. I would only ever use it as a last resort and not as this 'maintainance' this they hawk it as but supposedly it keeps cancer cells from attaching to healthy tissue. That's why I'm throwing it out there. DO YOUR RESEARCH! I'm only saying anything because of the lady who posted about her cancer and this is something people I know personally who know their sh*t endorse and have been talking about. The Name to look up is Dr. Hula Clark. The best of luck to you. I hope your ok. My e-mail is: PrinceMaxwell @ Juno . com if theirs any discrepancies.

Re: Post by Sandra, Tea tree Oil and/or Oil of Oregano work great for red flaky skin. Add 5-6 drops of Tea Tree Oil to a cup of water. Apply this mixture on affected skin with a cotton ball after washing the face in the morning and at night. Make sure you mix the solution well before using it. It may feel a bit stingy for a while. When using Oregano Oil for treatment, simply add 2 drops of Oregano Oil to one tbsp of Olive Oil or Coconut Oil. Apply this mixture onto the affected skin at night until cured. Hope it helps!

Reading all these advices for facial age spots which i hate so much has given me some hope that I can either fade them a lot or eliminate them. I am trying the apple cider with the onion juice this is my first week after the 3rd day i notice some difference. My age spots are bad and do not cover up well with makeup so I hope this works. Also looking forward to trying the lemon juice that also seem to work well. Well keep you all posted.

Hi Noyhin, Yes, Lemon Juice has natural bleaching as well as exfoliating properties. The gentle bleaching action of lemon juice helps fade away the acne scars and an active ingredient of lemon juice Alpha Hydroxy Acid works as an exfoliant for skin. It slowly exfoliates the dead, scarred and spotted surface skin and helps reveal the newer, less damaged and healthier skin cells underneath. It may take weeks or longer for its effects to appear though.

Hey Robin- dry sockets after tooth extraction can last for weeks- Go to the drugstore and buy "Red Cross toothache Medicine" and use an eyedropper to place 2-3 drops into the socket- this medicament is what oral surgeons use on gauze strips with vaseline to treat pts-also use heat on your face

Posted by karen on Jun 03 2009 10:02:17

After trying one of these remedies, in particular the lemon juice, if the age spots fade, do you need to keep putting the lemon juice on or does it stay away ?

Hi Karan, I checked the Urdu name for Chamomile and found that it's called Gul-e-Baboona. To read it in Urdu transcript here's the link: http://urduseek.com/dictionary/chamomile?nolog=1 And yes of course the Lemon and Castor Oil remedy can work for lightening the dark spots on the skin. Just be careful when applying close to the eyes. Good luck!

Posted by karan on May 28 2009 11:37:53

thank u jawaria for your reply.i live in pakistan and i am not sure what is chamolion tea ,?is that avaiable here.?i have never heard of it.should i go for lemon and castoroil remedy do u think it will work?

Posted by Jawairia on May 27 2009 15:23:05

Hi Karan, A simple remedy for dark circles and dark spots is to dip 2 chamomile tea bags in warm water. After 5 minutes, remove the tea bags from the water and let them cool to room temperature or a bit cooler. Then place them on your eyes and cheeks at night as a compress for about 15 minutes. Chamomile is known to help with lightening the skin. Usually these kind of dark brown spots are triggered by both sun exposure and/or hormonal changes. You should take extra care when going out in the sun and consult your physician for any possible hormonal changes.

Here is an update. By using lemons for the past six weeks...my age spots are still there but have faded greatly! I can now cover them up with makeup; without the dark hypermigmination showing through. It has been six weeks now of applying lemon juice 2 per day. I am very happy with the results. I am going to continue doing so for the next month or two. Lemons are a wonderful natural solution. I will keep everyone posted on my progress!

I had a few spots of hyperpigmentation on my cheeks and forehead - like skin dicoloration. I looked around the web and did some research - when I ran across site that had recommended the Made from Earth skin care line. I went to their website (www.madefromearth.com) and found their Rosehip % Hibiscus Face Serum / moisturizer. The description sounded promising, and I figured that I had nothing to lose, so I ordered it. After about 3 months of use, my skin is looking very nicely toned and the spots are fading rather quickly. Once you apply this moisturizer, you'll instantly notice how it makes your skin silky smooth. I find it to smell very pleasant - almost like the hibiscus flower. Overall, don't expect this product to work immediately, you have to give it a little while, and I assure you that you won't be disappointed. Plus, for a chemical free and organic face cream the price is just perfect.

Posted by Jennifer on Apr 28 2009 15:50:43

Michele, In the morning I pull out a fresh lemon from my fridge--cut a small slice and rub it into my forhead where I have the age spot. I do the same at night about an hour before bed. I have been doing this for 4 weeks now. The hyperpigmintation has faded in HALF. In some areas it has completly dissapeared!!! The lemon juice dries out your skin some...so after I wash it off, I apply avocado oil to deeply mosturize my skin. It greatly helps. Everyone I know now is telling me they hardly see it at all anymore. Over 1 month ago...not even the heaviest makeup could cover it up. It is such a cheap and simple soultion...that is so effective...I can hardly believe it works...BUT IT DOES! I hope this helps! I has worked for me so far! Good Luck!

Hi, for the last 3 months, I have been using an eggplant mixture and my spots, including a large baggy one under my eye, have almost disappeared. I chop about 1/4 cup fresh eggplant (including skin), let the chop air dry about 1 hour, then put them in a cup and cover with pure olive oil. Let sit 2 weeks, then twice a day, take a small amount of oil and rub on face and chest. I am 66 and spots almost gone. important to keep oil cover over plant or will spoil

I found washing my face with my normal facial soap and putting about a teaspoon of regular 'ol baking soda stimulates my skin (the baking soda works as a great exfoliator). After rinsing I put Natural Apple Cider Vinegar (NOT the kind you use for cooking, etc!) on a cotton ball and wipe lightly over my face (like you would a toner) it will sting a bit, but for a short while. I then take a bit of Virgin Coconut Oil (put jar in warm water to liquify) and smooth into my face (as you would a face lotion) My face after this 3 step process had a glowing effect. Ever since starting this (and I do only a couple times a week) I notice my age spot have dramatically decreased and my skin is more supple and really looks smooth and glowy all the time!

Alexandra, My children also had had these white patches, but more so on the upper arms. I was told it's some kind of light fungi problem, and washing this area with anti dandruff shampoo will help this problem. It did help for my children. I think your health food store or natural practitioner may help with natural remedies.

My 10 year old daughter has a white spot the size of a quarter on her face. Although, I was diligent with sun block she did still spend a lot of time in outdoors sports this summer.

The term 'aloe vera gel' is often used to describe the jelly-like pulp that makes up the inner tissue of the leaves. The 'aloe vera juice' is a yellow liquid that is extracted from just beneath the outer skin of the leaves. Usually if you break a piece of a leaf, both the juice and gel can be extracted together and applied onto the skin. However, the gel contains the majority of nutrients that are beneficial for age spots.

A natural beeswax,olive oil based product, with red clover, violet, harakeke, cleavers, turmeric, walnut, burdock root, and kumarahou. This is a New Zealand handmade balm.

I just had my 65th birthday and to date I have found nothing that rids my body of age spots including prescription meds. Anyone have a sure cure please advise and thanks.

Hi Marie, Apple Cider Vinegar is generally safe to take during and after pregnancy. Overall, ACV helps to rid the body of toxins and may even help with any complications that may arise or have arisen with the pregnancy. It also supports regularity and promotes digestion. Nevertheless, if you are still unsure, you can consult your doctor just to be on the safe side.

Does anyone if this is ok to try while being pregnant? I notice that my age spots are getting dark. Although, I think it's best to wait until after I have my baby.
