Home Treatments For Brown Spots

Brown spots are some of the things that plague our skin from an early time.  They are caused by darkening melanin, and they are generally treated with skin lighteners or bleaches that can go too far in bleaching the skin or they can also damage the skin, producing more free radicals among other things.  Still, brown spots, age spots, or liver spots, can literally appear anywhere at any time.  I have seen 20 year olds with them just as I have seen 50 year olds with them, though they are of course more common in the older generations. 

If you are looking to reduce the signs of aging in general, the best way is to actually use peptides and other ingredients that produce more collagen and elastin or increase cell turnover with new and healthy cells.  But there are some that would also say you can use healthy and completely natural methods.  Some say that you should use yogurt.  Use a coffee filter, 4 oz of plain yogurt, a colander, and a large bowl.  You place the coffee filter in the colander, the yogurt in the coffee filter, and leave both in the refrigerator overnight to drain and thicken.  From there, you get a thick yogurt cream, which you can spread across your face, and it can stay good for about 3-7 days on average.  Exfoliate over skin and throat and then leave it for 5 minutes rinsing off with tepid water.  You should be sure to remove all yogurt, and then store the unused portions in the fridge.  They say they naturally contain AHA’s which naturally lighten the skin, and you can see results within 5 to 7 days.  I tried this to lighten some old scars, because I don’t have age spots to test it on.  But I didn’t really see a difference on a personal basis.  But with peptides and other types of formula like that, I have seen definite results.  So there is a good chance I am biased, and I assume some have seen results with this more natural method, or it wouldn’t be so popular among some.
