Many people believe that age spot is a skin condition that can only happen to older people.
But this is not true.
The appearance of age spots can happen to anyone, young or old.
Age spots are those tiny brown, red or black spots that appear on the superficial layer of the skin.
They vary in size and shape.
It is common knowledge that older people experience this problem more than younger people.
That is because skin functions are weaker when we are older.
Our skin could no longer protect us from the debilitating effects of the sun's UV rays when we are older.
The real culprit is the sun.
When UV rays penetrate our dermis layers, it causes melanocytes in our body to react adversely.
These melanocytes are our protectors against the rays of the sun.
It facilitates an abnormal melanin production.
Melanin is what gives color to our skin.
Due to the abnormal production of this skin component, brown spots appear.
Young people can experience this problem too.
If the skin has lesser amount of melanocytes that can protect us from the UV rays of the sun, abnormal melanin pigmentation process happens faster.
Since fair-skinned people have lesser melanocytes, they are more susceptible to age spots formation.
This is not a permanent condition.
There are still a lot of ways to reverse skin damages.
Dermatological treatments such as freezing can extract the superficial layer of the skin where the spots have appeared.
This will reveal whiter and younger skin underneath.
But this treatment is a little expensive.
Having all the spots in your body extracted can cost a lot of money.
A less expensive treatment you can try is lightening moisturizer.
You just have to look for a moisturizer with effective natural ingredients such as Extrapone Nutgrass, CynergyTK and Phytessence Wakame.
Extrapone Nutgrass is a lightening ingredient with medicinal properties.
This ingredient targets the dark spots in the body to lighten them up.
It is effective in inhibiting melanin production.
You will also find this ingredient beneficial because it can make skin a lot softer and smoother.
It lessens problems such as irritation, rashes and skin redness.
CynergyTK and Phytessence Wakame make your skin stronger.
CynergyTK provides the dermis with functional keratin, a nutrient that can help improve the production of collagen.
Phytessence Wakame is a Japanese sea kelp that can drive away harmful enzymes that break down hyaluronic acid.
This acid is vital for the lubrication of collagen proteins.
A strong skin is invulnerable to the damages inflicted by the sun's UV rays.
