What causes age spots and how to remove them?
Very few people who do suffer from age spots know what has caused them. The majority of people think the spots are just one of those inevitable signs of aging that they can do nothing about. The fact that these brown age spots are not related to aging as much as related to over exposure to sunlight and continuous sun damage to our skin during our lifetime.

Because what causes age spots is mainly due to exposure to the sun, they do tend to appear on areas of our skin that receive the most exposure over many years.
The most effected areas are therefore; face and neck, shoulders, hands and arms, all of which are bared to the suns rays most of the time we are outdoors.
Although they do tend to appear the most when people have gone past the period in their life that is commonly called middle age, they should really just be referred to as sun spots.
If you do have any spots appearing and you think you are fairly certain that they are age spots, you should still go to a doctor or dermatologist to really get them examined to make sure they are nothing more serious such as skin cancer or other condition. Please do not assume that they are sun spots without seeking a professional opinion and find out later that is was the first signs of skin cancer. Please see my disclaimer.
There may well be many products available on the market that state they will remove these age spots, but how do you determine which ones will actually be effective? Although there are a lot of well known companies distributing these products, many of the creams do not contain the ingredients needed to remove age brown spots.
Despite the fact that what causes age spots has nothing to do with age we want to have them disappear, right? Well, you will notice that all of the popular brands advertise that they can make these spots go away their products are simply incapable of making that happen without the correct ingredients. It is the ingredients that they are using in their products which render them useless.
If you look at the ingredients labels of a lot of the products you will find that they are for whitening the skin and that the main ingredient that is supposed to do this is some form of bleach. Bleach is not effective in removing age spots or sun spots from the skin. What these bleach based products do is remove the colour from around the spots and therefore the brown spot looks even darker than it did before and is even more noticeable. More ingredients to avoid...
