Best natural ingredients for getting rid of age spots

Before we take a closer look at the techniques you can use to fade age spots, let's first learn a bit more about the ingredients you should be shopping for. These ingredients have been scientifically proven to be effective at fading age spots and restoring a more even skin tone.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that helps to brighten the skin and reduce the appearance of dark spots. Look for serums and creams containing vitamin C and watch your age spots vanish over time. Vitamin C is the star ingredient in our Moody Sisters Vitamin C Glow Serum, a best-seller for our beautiful babes on a budget.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide is a form of vitamin B3 that is effective at reducing hyperpigmentation and improving skin texture. Look for products that contain niacinamide to help dark spots disappear and improve the overall appearance of your skin. Try adding a Niacinamide Vitamin B3 serum into your skincare routine.

willow bark extract

Willow Bark is a natural acid that is high in antioxidants. Willow bark extract naturally exfoliates and removes dead skin cells to renew and rejuvenate. This potent extract also works to tone and brighten, helping diminish dark spots.

aloe

Age spots may also result from scarring, especially when your skin is depleted of hydration. Fortunately, there’s the aloe vera plant, one of mother nature’s most powerful moisturizers. The gel that’s extracted from the aloe vera plant is comprised of 99.5% water, so there’s no doubt it will heal your dryness, fade scarring, and defeat dark spots.

licorice

Licorice Root Extract helps brighten the appearance of your age spots by preventing melanin production. Additionally it’s packed with antioxidants that help protect the skin from environmental damage.

Natural DIY HOME methods to fade age spots

Here at Moody Sisters, we prefer to take a more natural approach whenever possible. There’s no shortage of organic ingredients that have the power to fade age spots. The following is a list of some of the most effective natural DIY at home solutions to do away with age spots in a jiff.

Lemon juice

Lemon juice is a natural skin brightener that can help to fade age spots over time. Apply fresh lemon juice to the affected area using a cotton ball and leave it on for 10-15 minutes before rinsing it off with warm water. Be sure to wear SPF after using lemon juice on your face, as it can make your skin more sensitive to the sun’s UV rays.

Apple cider vinegar

If you’re in the market for an all-natural skin toner that can gradually reduce the appearance of age spots, look no further than apple cider vinegar. Mix equal parts apple cider vinegar and water and apply the mixture to the affected area using a cotton ball. Sit back and relax for 30 minutes before rinsing it off with warm water.

Aloe vera

Aloe vera has been used for centuries to soothe the skin and even out its tone and texture. Take some aloe vera gel and apply a thin layer to your face to create an at home aloe mask. Allow to soak in for 20 minutes before rinsing off and patting dry.

Papaya

Papaya contains a powerful enzyme called papain that’s amazingly effective at exfoliating the skin and lightening dark spots. You can mash up papaya and use it to create a face mask, or simply search for skincare products that list papaya as an active ingredient.

If you’ve tried natural remedies but still have unsightly age spots, you may want to consider adding a skin booster to target the spots.
