Uneven coloring of individual areas of the skin, the formation of spots with uneven edges on the face, hands, neck causes annoyance and a natural desire to get rid of these natural “decorations”. It's time to find a way to get rid of age spots.
What are age spots?
Among the cells of the upper layer of skin, the epidermis, are melanocytes, cells capable of synthesizing dark pigment.
Melanin, which has a dark color, accumulates under the influence of ultraviolet radiation, shielding excess sunlight and protecting the skin.
Europeans, as a rule, have little melanin in their skin, which is why their skin, hair, and iris are light in color. Representatives of the Negroid race, residents of countries with sunny, hot climates have dark skin and hair.
When exposed to the sun, a person with fair skin observes a gradual process of darkening of the cells - tanning. If there is not enough melanin in the skin, the top layer burns and peels off.
It is no secret that not all people, under equal conditions, will tan the same way: in a few days one will sport dark chocolate skin, and the other will have red sides and sunburned shoulders.
Melanin actively fights free radicals, accelerates metabolic processes in the body, speeds up the immune system, promotes adaptation to new conditions, protects the liver, thyroid gland, hypothalamus and adrenal glands from dystrophic changes.
Dark spots
Areas of skin that are oval or irregular in shape, do not rise above the surface of the skin and have a darker color than the rest of the skin are called pigment spots.
The reasons for their occurrence:
- Individual reaction of the body to prolonged intense sun exposure;
- Age-related changes;
- Taking medications;
- Side effect on cosmetics and procedures;
- Vitamin C deficiency;
- Exchange disorders;
- Diseases of the digestive system;
- Pathologies of the liver and gall bladder;
- Pituitary tumors;
- Mental disorders, stress, hysteria, neuroses;
- Gynecological diseases;
- Hormonal changes, including during pregnancy
Excess pigmentation during pregnancy usually goes away after childbirth.
Freckles
One of the types of excess skin pigmentation, inherent in people with blond hair and eyes.
Freckles are fine clusters of pigment that can merge into larger spots.
They appear in the spring on the face: under the eyes, on the nose, above the upper lip, on the arms, on the back. With proper protection and the use of sunscreens with a high UF index during this period, the appearance of freckles can be avoided, although for many they do not pose a problem.
Age pigmentation
Lentigines appear under the influence of ultraviolet radiation on the hands and forearms, shoulders, shoulder blades, and décolleté.
During menopause, the condition of the skin undergoes significant changes, the color of lentigo becomes more saturated, individual spots can merge into large formations.
Large pigment spots
Melasma and chloasma are spots of a fairly large shape that tend to merge. The main location is the face, neck, ears. The spots rarely go down below.
The main reason for the appearance of chloasma is hormonal disorders, the use of hormonal medications, and aromatic agents. Solar radiation aggravates skin conditions and accelerates the formation of spots.
Melasma and chloasma significantly increase the risk of developing melanoma (skin cancer).
Treatment of age spots
Salon treatments
- Chemical peeling is an ideal way to remove freckles and small age spots. In the salon, cosmetics containing fruit acids are precisely applied to the face. They are able to destroy melantocytes, cells containing and synthesizing dark pigment. As a result of the procedure, the skin acquires a uniform light color.
- Facial dermabrasion is a fairly traumatic method and is suitable for young skin that is capable of rapid and painless regeneration. Age spots are removed in other ways. The essence of the method is to use a brush or cutter with an abrasive effect: the upper layers of skin with excess pigmentation are removed mechanically. Manipulations are carried out under anesthesia, rehabilitation requires time and careful care of the wound, the area of skin affected differs in appearance for approximately a year.
- Mesotherapy is a course of microinjections, with the help of which special compounds are introduced deep into the pigment spot, helping to destroy the pigment and normalize skin color. Mesotherapy has no age restrictions, is physiological and guarantees long lasting results.
- Phototherapy is the non-invasive removal of deep age spots using high-intensity light pulses. The light wavelength is selected so that only cells containing melanin are exposed. The rest of the skin is protected from mechanical and thermal damage.
- The modern and most acceptable way to combat skin pigmentation is laser spot removal. Tissue is removed layer by layer, ensuring precise exposure without damaging surrounding areas. The method is popular due to its sterility, bloodlessness, non-contact, precise visual control and stable cosmetic effect.
After any of the above procedures, it is necessary to protect the skin from sunlight.
The decision to perform cosmetic manipulation is made by a dermatologist; each procedure has its own contraindications, which must be taken into account.
Reviews from people who have used salon procedures testify to their effectiveness; the greatest preference is given to laser spot removal.
Folk remedies
In order to remove age spots at home, you need to use folk remedies:

After removing homemade masks, you need to apply a nourishing cream that meets age requirements to your facial skin.
Age spots are a condition that causes mental discomfort rather than physical discomfort. It is especially unpleasant if excessive pigmentation appears on the face or other open areas of the body. Today, a large number of cosmetics have been developed that help get rid of age spots. However, they have a number of contraindications, and are also often expensive. Therefore, the use of folk remedies comes to the rescue - they help remove age spots at home. Their main advantages are, first of all, low cost, availability, and the possibility of use in childhood, as well as during pregnancy and lactation.
Folk remedies for face whitening
As a rule, you can find many recipes for skin whitening on the Internet. The following ingredients are often added to homemade masks, tonics and lotions:
- natural acids;
- parsley;
- fermented milk products (sour cream, kefir, yogurt);
- soda;
- Apple vinegar;
- egg white;
- potato;
- badyaga;
- lemon juice.
These products have a pronounced effect: they quickly whiten the skin and make age spots less noticeable. However, it is necessary to remember that some of the above components of homemade cosmetics can have an aggressive effect on the skin, causing allergic reactions and chemical burns. In order to avoid such consequences, it is recommended to consult a doctor before using any method of alternative medicine - this significantly reduces the risk of complications.
Using natural acids: is it effective?
Experts admit that the use of natural acids to whiten age spots on the face is quite effective. It should also be noted that most cosmetics sold in pharmacies contain one of the following acids:
- salicylic acid. They have a brightening, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effect. It is recommended to rub into those areas where hyperpigmentation is observed - this must be done for 10-15 minutes 2-3 times a day. Salicylic acid rarely causes allergic reactions, does not dry out the skin, and the effect of its use can be noticed after 7-14 days.
- azelaic acid. This is a natural remedy that gently whitens the skin, removes age spots and normalizes melanin metabolism. Side effects when using azelaic acid occur extremely rarely, so this product can be used even during pregnancy. Use a 20% solution, which is applied 2-3 times a day. The first results are visible within 8-10 weeks after the start of use, and in order to remove age spots forever, the product must be applied daily for 8-12 months.
- boric acid. Has a pronounced effect: brightens the skin, normalizes melanin production, relieves inflammation. However, it is important to know that boric acid is quite aggressive, so it is used as a component of masks or lotions (for example, in combination with egg white and lemon juice).
- lemon acid. Since lemon contains a lot of vitamin C, the product is able to reduce the activity of melanocytes, preventing excessive pigment production. Citric acid also relieves inflammation, enhances regeneration processes, and has an antioxidant effect.
- kojic acid. It must be used with caution and only as part of masks, since this product can cause severe allergic reactions.
Less commonly used are hyaluronic acid and glycolic acid. They not only affect pigmentation, but also rejuvenate the skin and stimulate the synthesis of collagen and elastin. Also use a 3% hydrogen peroxide solution with caution - it can cause chemical burns, so it is not recommended to use this product without medical supervision.
Recipes using parsley
Parsley has been used to whiten the face for thousands of years. This plant contains carotene, and this compound creates an invisible film on the skin that protects the face from exposure to ultraviolet radiation.
Parsley is used to prepare decoctions (they are used to wipe the face), masks and lotions. The most popular recipes using parsley are:
- parsley decoction. To prepare it, you need to take 40-45 g of parsley and pour 1-1.5 cups of boiling water over it, leave for 3 hours. You can wipe your face with this product 2-3 times a day.
- lotion. To prepare this remedy, you need to chop a small bunch of parsley, add the juice of 1-1.5 lemons, as well as 250-300 ml of ethyl alcohol. The resulting mixture must be mixed and infused in a cool place (but not in the refrigerator) for 2-3 weeks. After this, you need to start using the lotion: it needs to be applied 2 times a day.
- mask. You need to take 30-50 g of greens and pour a glass of kefir. The mixture should sit for 3-4 hours. After this, the mask should be applied to the face and left for 20-25 minutes, rinse off any remaining residue with warm water.
You can also juice the parsley, mix it with lemon juice, and freeze the mixture. Ice cubes perfectly tone the skin, improve its color, and reduce the intensity of pigmentation. Remember that lemon juice is a strong allergen, so you should consult a doctor before using any folk remedy!
Badyaga for age spots on the face: mask recipe
Badyaga is a natural remedy that has a pronounced whitening effect. Also, the use of badyagi for the face produces an anti-inflammatory effect, enhances metabolic processes in epidermal cells, normalizes water balance - all this leads to improved skin condition and the removal of age spots.
To prepare an effective mask with badyaga, you need to take 10-15 g of powder (it is sold at the pharmacy), as well as 1-1.5 tsp. hydrogen peroxide 3%. The ingredients must be mixed to form a viscous paste. It should be applied in an even layer, left for 15-20 minutes and rinsed with cool water. This should be done 2-3 times a week. The effect of using such a mask can be seen after 1-2 weeks - the skin becomes soft and tender, its color improves and, most importantly, pigment spots get rid of.
Traditional recipes with lemon juice
Lemon juice is a natural remedy that helps in the fight against age spots. It can be used either in its pure form or in combination with other products (for example, to make lotions, masks, homemade creams). Lemon juice contains a large amount of flavonoids, as well as various vitamins. They have a fairly quick and pronounced effect, so the product is often used to remove age spots on the face.
You can wipe your face with lemon juice: you need to cleanse the skin, apply the product, and after 20-30 minutes, rinse it off with warm water. Lemon juice should be used with caution as it can cause dryness and flaking. The following recipes are also used:
- mask of honey and lemon juice. To prepare it, you need to mix the above ingredients in a 1:1 ratio and apply to the face. This procedure can be done 2 times a week, exposure time is no more than 20 minutes.
- lotions with olive oil and lemon juice. Mix the ingredients in a 2:1 ratio and apply to areas of hyperpigmentation for 15 minutes. You can repeat it 2 times a day.
- lemon juice and cucumber pulp. Take 1-2 medium cucumbers, grate them on a fine grater, add the juice of half a lemon. The product should be applied as a lotion for 20 minutes 2-3 times a day.
Combinations of lemon juice with apple cider vinegar, yogurt, egg white, grapefruit pulp or raw potato pulp are also used. Such combinations are aimed at providing a complex effect, which ultimately helps fight excess pigmentation.
Apple cider vinegar against pigmentation on the face
Apple cider vinegar contains a large amount of vitamins, amino acids and antioxidants, so the product is used not only to lighten the skin with excessive pigmentation, but also to fight acne and prevent excessive sebum secretion.
It is not recommended to use apple cider vinegar in its pure form - this can lead to a chemical burn. It is better to dilute vinegar in a 1:1 ratio with mineral water, kefir, bio-yogurt or a decoction of parsley and chamomile.
From a decoction of chamomile and apple cider vinegar, you can prepare a highly effective lotion that will help not only whiten the skin, but also relieve inflammation, if any. To prepare this remedy, you will need a chamomile decoction (to prepare it, you need to take 50 g of the dry plant and pour 250 ml of boiling water), as well as 5% apple cider vinegar. These ingredients must be mixed in a 1:1 ratio. The lotion should infuse in a dark place for 3-5 days. It should be applied to problem areas of the skin 2-4 times a day. The effect of using the product, judging by the reviews, can be noticed after 10-15 days.
Soda for age spots on the face
Soda contains a large amount of sodium - this is a mineral that accelerates regenerative processes in the dermis, thereby helping to get rid of pigmentation. Soda should be used with caution; it is imperative to ensure that there are no contraindications.
This mask is considered the most effective: a pinch of soda should be mixed with 1-2 tbsp. low-fat sour cream, and then add 0.5-1 tsp. hydrogen peroxide 3%. Mix all ingredients until smooth and apply to problem areas of the skin for 15 minutes, then rinse off the remaining mask with warm water.
The product is quite effective, but you should not overuse it - it is better to use the mask no more than 2-3 times a week, otherwise such procedures can harm the health of the skin!
Are homemade scrubs effective?
Peeling is a procedure during which a scrub is used. This product allows you to quickly exfoliate dead skin cells of the epidermis, and this, in turn, triggers regeneration processes. This procedure can be carried out no more than once a week, since frequent use of scrubs can lead to injury to the skin and a deterioration in its general condition. Pharmacies sell a large number of scrubs, but their prices are sometimes greatly inflated - in such cases, homemade cosmetics come to the rescue.
Using a scrub with almonds, kefir and lemon juice is effective. To prepare it, you need to take 100 g of almonds, soak them for 30 minutes in warm water, and then grind them using a meat grinder. Next you need to add 1 tbsp. kefir and lemon juice. The product must be applied to the entire surface of the facial skin, distributed with massage movements, and then rinsed with warm water.
A scrub made from kefir and oatmeal is also popular. To prepare it, you need to take 100 ml of kefir and add 50-75 g of oatmeal to it. It is recommended to use this product before bedtime.
You can make a scrub with papaya. To do this, you need to take half the fruit pulp, chop it, and then add lemon juice and honey (1-2 tbsp each). Apply to steamed skin for 15-20 minutes, no more than 1-2 times a week.
Barley scrub also has pronounced whitening properties. To prepare this product you need to take 1-2 tbsp. grated barley and add lemon juice and honey (1 tsp each). It is important to note that the barley must be thoroughly wiped, otherwise injury to the facial skin may occur.
The use of dimexide for excessive pigmentation
Dimexide is a drug that is often used to make homemade cosmetics. Due to its properties to enhance blood circulation and accelerate regeneration processes, its use increases the effectiveness of other ingredients included in the product. That is why dimexide is often included in masks for skin depigmentation. The following folk remedies for skin whitening with dimexide are most often used:
- a product with the addition of aspirin, white coal and rosehip oil. It is recommended to take 2 ml of dimexide and dilute it in 20 ml of chamomile decoction. After this, you need to add 5 g of white coal and aspirin and 10-12 ml of rosehip oil to the mixture. Before applying this mask, be sure to thoroughly cleanse the skin, then apply the product in a circular motion for 3-8 minutes.
- product with dimexide and ascorutin. This vitamin mask helps improve regeneration processes, smoothes out fine wrinkles and fights hyperpigmentation well. To prepare it you will need 1 ml of dimexide (it must be diluted in 10 ml of chamomile or sage decoction), 5 g of ascorutin, as well as 10 g of vitamin E and oatmeal. All ingredients must be mixed in a ceramic bowl and rubbed into the skin for 15-20 minutes. It is recommended to complete the procedure with a contrast wash for 5 minutes.
- a product using dimexide and solcoseryl. This product not only helps in the fight against excessive pigmentation, but also rejuvenates the skin. Therefore, it is recommended to use this mask when senile lentigo appears. To prepare it, you need to take 1 ml of dimexide (diluted in 10 ml of clean water), as well as 10-12 g of solcoseryl (ointment) and 5-7 ml of almond oil. All ingredients must be mixed and applied to the face (on average, for 10-15 minutes), rinse off the residue with cool water. It is recommended to make a mask before going to bed, no more than once every 3 days.
Masks for depigmentation of facial skin
Of all the homemade remedies for whitening the face, masks are the most popular. This procedure needs to be carried out only 1-2 times a week, and the effectiveness is very high, judging by reviews from the Internet. The most popular masks are:
- mask with berries and dairy products. The components of this mask include ingredients that have a pronounced whitening effect, so its use is very effective. To prepare this product, you need to take 50 g of black currants (cranberries and raspberries are also suitable), grind the berries to a pulp and pour in 1 glass of kefir or sour cream. The mask should be applied 3 times a week for 20 minutes.
- mask made from kiwi pulp and cucumber. You need to take half the fruit and grate it, then add the grated cucumber. Apply the mask 1-2 times a week to previously cleansed, dry facial skin.

Whitening mask with turmeric
A homemade mask with the addition of turmeric and lemon juice is highly effective. To prepare it you will need 1 tsp. spices and 2-3 tsp. lemon juice. After lemon juice is added to the turmeric, you should get a thick mask with a consistency like rich sour cream. This product can only be applied locally (to those areas where age spots are observed). Since the mask is highly effective, it should be used no more than once every 7 days.
Before using any folk remedy, you need to make sure that it is safe. It is best to consult a doctor and also conduct an allergy test (apply a small amount of the product to the skin and observe its condition for 20-30 minutes). Most of the natural ingredients that are used to make homemade cosmetics are highly allergenic - honey, lemon, grapefruit, almonds, essential oils. Since traditional methods of treatment for age spots do not have a sufficient evidence base regarding their effectiveness and safety, it is necessary to treat them with extreme caution.
