Can age spots harm health?
Yes. Of course, it does not necessarily mean that every age spot will turn into cancer, but there are several aspects you may want to keep in mind:- Observe your age spots, and see if they are different in color, especially if some are much darker than others
- Look for any funky borders around the spots
- Pay special attention to any growing or changing the spot
- If you notice that your brown spots have become red or tender, consult your doctor as soon as possible
- If any of these signs worries you, ask for an appointment with your doctor or dermatologist. Regular self-examinations are the best way to track changes and prevent the unwanted outcome.
Anti-age spot mixture
Instructions:- Dice a fresh onion. Transfer the bits into a Ziploc bag and pulverize them using a blunt surface.
- Next, use your blender to process the onion with half a cup of organic apple cider vinegar. You are looking for a smooth texture.
- Soak a cotton ball in the resulting mixture and apply it directly on your age spots. For optimal results, this every day for 2-4 weeks.
- Although this solution will not give you the results overnight, keep in mind that it is natural, cheap, and simple.
- You cannot use convenient and effective in the same sentence for any other method.
- You should notice the first results within a few weeks, but treat your spots every day and you will be happy with the outcome.
Is there any way to prevent age spots?
- Yes, if you tend to spend the rest of your life at home, and you know that it is not possible because we all need a bit of sunlight.
- But, you can prevent the occurrence of large spots by calculating the time you spend out in the sun.
- Wear long-sleeved shirts and comfy pants whenever you can, and DO NOT FORGET to use your sunscreen.
- Your skin needs sunscreen in winter as well. Even when you spend a minute in the sun.
- Always use sunscreen! Stay away from tanning beds.
- These may give you the tan you dream off, but they will also damage your skin.
- And once again, consult your doctor about any suspicious spots. Love your skin and it will love you back!
