Age spots or liver spots are black or brownish marks which
are mainly caused due to ageing and prolonged sun exposure. These types of marks
are commonly found on the hands, arms, face and shoulder. These spots are
harmless and do not require any treatment but still people want to get rid of
them because of their unsightly look. If you want to get rid of them then you
have two options either go for medical treatments like chemical peels,
cryosurgery, laser treatment or use home remedies like coconut oil. Here we are
going to use coconut oil to remove these spots. Mild exfoliant, healing and
anti aging properties make this oil and ideal remedy for liver spots.
How to Use Coconut Oil for Age Spots Removal
If you want to use this oil then keep in mind that this oil
will not lighten the pigmentation quickly. You have to keep some patience and
use it on a regular basis. The simplest way to use it is to apply it on your
cleansed skin and gently massage for about 5 minutes. Use this remedy every
night before heading towards your bed. Mild exfoliation effects of coconut oil
will help remove the dark outer layer of your skin and the final result would
be a smooth and pigmentation free skin.
You can also make this remedy even more effective by mixing
some olive oil with coconut oil. Some people also use lemon juice, castor oil,
onion juice to get rid of age spots. Another option is to prepare a mask for coconut oil,
turmeric powder and tomato juice. Apply it on your face and allow it to rest on
for about half an hour and then wash it off with lukewarm water.
You can also try a combination of vitamin E liquid and
coconut oil.Some people also use a mask prepared by adding one teaspoon
each of yogurt, dry milk powder, coconut oil and a pinch of turmeric.
Lastly, stay away from the direct sun light and do not
forget to use your sunscreen before going outdoors. Include antioxidant, omega
fatty acids and vitamin A, C and E rich food sources in your food list.
