Get rid of age spots naturally

If you have age spots, fret not, there are natural ways to reduce their appearance.

When our skin is exposed to the sun, it causes an increase in the production of cells known as melanocytes that increase melanin in the skin, thus turning the skin darker. These dark skin patches are known as brown spots, age spots, dark spots, sun spots and liver spots. There are a few options that we can do to get rid of them from getting professional treatment from the dermatologists to those whitening creams that are sold at the chemists. But if you are looking for an inexpensive and also natural way to soften those age spots why not try this hack? 

Ever heard of people using buttermilk? Buttermilk contains lactic acid and lactic acid helps exfoliate the skin to remove blemishes and brown spots without drying out your skin. All you need to do is apply buttermilk on your brown spots using a cotton ball and leave it on for a few minutes before washing the area with water. If you have oily skin or acne, you can also add some lemon juice to the buttermilk.

Another option is to mix four teaspoons of buttermilk and two teaspoons of tomato juice together and then apply this mixture on the affected skin.

Repeat either of these remedies once or twice daily until you are satisfied with the results.
