Age spots, also known as solar lentigines, are flat, oval areas of increased pigmentation caused by prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light from the sun or tanning beds.
These spots are more common in individuals over 50 but can also appear in younger people with significant sun exposure.
Natural remedies, including essential oils, can effectively lighten age spots over time without the need for expensive treatments.
Rose hip oil, rich in vitamin C and essential fatty acids, is known for its skin-brightening properties and can help fade age spots.
Frankincense oil is recognized for its ability to rejuvenate skin and reduce pigmentation, while lemon essential oil has natural bleaching properties.
Vitamin E oil is a natural remedy that repairs damaged skin and reduces pigmentation, promoting healing and cell renewal.
A simple oil blend combining wild rose oil, rose hip oil, and vitamin E oil can be applied directly to age spots for effective treatment.
