The sun is primarily responsible for the appearance of age spots. Therefore, sun protection applied daily helps prevent their appearance. Apply an anti-UV cream every day, regardless of the degree of exposure or the duration. Uniform application is essential to effectively protect the skin. Insist on areas exposed to the sun, face, neck, décolleté, arms and hands. Protection therefore remains the best way to prevent the appearance of dark spots.
To help the skin better resist external aggressions and limit age spots, eat a diet rich in antioxidants. Therefore, eat fruits and vegetables daily to help your body fight against free radicals. These are the first responsible for the premature aging of cells. Also drink plenty of water to hydrate your skin from within.
To fight against age spots, protection against UV rays is not limited to the application of sunscreen. Depending on the time of exposure to the sun, the season and the place, it may be necessary to protect yourself as much as possible by wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a long-sleeved top. Beware of clouds, as they don't filter the sun's rays in the same way. Large dark clouds are the only ones to completely filter out UV rays. Therefore, always wear your protections even if the clouds seem to hide the sun.
As soon as you see age spots appear on your skin, do not wait to apply a suitable treatment. Lemon juice is one of the natural treatments to reduce brown spots. It owes its lightening and antioxidant action to the vitamin C it contains. While reducing brown spots, vitamin C helps restore a healthy glow. Avoid exposure to the sun when applying lemon juice to your skin because of its photosensitizing action.
It is also necessary to moisturize your skin daily with an appropriate care. Hydrated skin is less sensitive to external aggressions. Apply a moisturizing cream after removing make-up, morning and evening.
