Ageing is a slow but sure process. No one can stop ageing. While ageing is as such a part of becoming wiser in life, the age spots, wrinkling, sagging and drying of skin is something that we would rather not have. Age spots or age spots are brown or black dots on the skin, especially on the areas that we expose to the rays of the sun.
Age spots are in no way connected to the Age as you may assume. They appear as a result of melanin concentration on the skin which is skin’s way of trying to protect itself by producing more melanin when we expose ourselves too much to UV rays. If you want to be rid of Age spots and would love to have a beautiful and clear complexion even during old age, limit your exposure to the sun. For those who are already stuck with Age spots, here are some sure solutions that you can try at home.
A magic solution for a number of diseases and skin problems, apple cider vinegar is antibacterial, antifungal and anti microbial among a host of other things. But here, we talk only about its magic touch on the skin and its ability to arrest ageing of skin and preventing and removing skin infections. Age spots can be removed with constant exfoliation of the top layer of skin. Age spots will be lightened considerably with every exfoliating session and finally removed completely from the skin.
Take equal amounts of apple cider vinegar and onion juice and apply on the age spots. Leave it for 20 minutes before washing off. Both apple cider vinegar and onion have sulphur content which aid in protecting the skin from signs of ageing and facilitating peeling of skin, thereby stimulating new cell growth.
Aloe Vera and its connection with skin health is almost legendary. Smear aloe vera directly on the age spots every day. You may leave it on for the full day if you are at home or leave it overnight. Aloe vera helps in rejuvenating and helping new skin cells to develop.
Frequent application for a month will do away with Age spots and scores of other blemishes, scars and skin problems. Make it a habit to use aloe vera every day in order to protect the skin form ageing.
Of course we all know how cucumber has removed our dark circles in an instant and provided us with fairer, clearer and more beautiful looking skin.

Cucumber treatment will hydrate the skin immediately, removing all its dryness and also helps in cooling the skin considerably during the summer months.
Though papaya has many benefits to the skin, one must exercise it with caution. Papaya has certain enzymes that act on the skin and removes Age spots, blemishes on the skin, pigmentation and other patches. But the same enzyme can be allergic to a group of people and can cause skin irritation.
If you want to apply papaya on the skin, make sure you do a 24 hour patch test before proceeding. If you come out clean, just go ahead and make a paste of papaya or grate it and apply on the skin. Leave it for 20 minutes before washing it off. Raw papayas are best for this treatment. Papaya skin can be rubbed on the skin as well for exfoliation and removal of spots and blemishes.
Vinegar is acidic and may cause irritation on the skin when applied directly. But vinegar has a number of properties that help in lightening the skin and removing age spots. To combat the acidic nature of vinegar, we can mix it with olive oil which will protect the skin from dryness and also nourish it to perfection while vinegar exerts its harsh action on Age spots. Apply every day on the skin and remove it after 20 minutes. Your skin will be left soft, smooth and very much clear of Age spots after this treatment.

It’s a relief that lemon juice can be used for Age spots as well. Get into the kitchen, squeeze some lemon juice and apply on the age spots. Do this two times a day.
Lemon is a natural bleaching agent and exfoliates the skin, reducing the appearance of Age spots with every exfoliation process and finally removing it completely. Within a month you will surely be rid of not just Age spots, but all other annoying spots as well, giving you a smooth a polished looking skin.
Sandalwood revives skin and brings it back to its youthful glow. Age spots are part of the ageing process and hence sandalwood is a good remedy for reversing this condition. Apply sandalwood paste by mixing it along with water or rosewater, preferably rosewater to enjoy its abundant skin benefits too. Once dry, wash off in warm water. Sandalwood will lighten the skin and give it protection from skin infections as well. Do this every day to protect your skin from infections and diseases.
