What's My Style? : How To Help Remove Age Spots

Do you have annoying brown spots appearing on your hands, arms or face area?

Firstly, get them check out by a doctor to ensure it’s not skin cancer, and to confirm they are in fact age spots. Despite the `age’ reference, they can appear earlier than we’d like, usually as a result of sun exposure.

And while they can be removed by dermatologists (if you’re really worried by their appearance), attached are some home remedies to try: http://bit.ly/23cswhw. Note some patience is required as it may be a few weeks until you see results. If you have sensitive skin, check with your GP or test on a small area first. I’m trying the lemon juice remedy and will keep you posted.

In the meantime, are your hands, neck and décolletage a part of your skin care regime or do you mostly focus on your face? Have you ever noticed people with a great face complexion but their neck, décolletage or hands look older? There are easy ways to help avoid this, starting with expanding your skin care regime to these areas and your body more broadly.

Some other tips:

WEAR GLOVES when driving where your hands are exposed to the sun. Not just in winter, all the time. Look chic in leather gloves this winter and opt for light glove fabrics during summer or fingerless gloves which can be more convenient. These organic cotton gloves from The Body Shop are worth a look.

WEAR SUNSCREEN to exposed parts of your body including during the colder months. Ensure the sunscreen is approved by Cancer Council Australia or skin cancer experts in your country. A recent study by Choice found a number of tested SPF 50+ sunscreens didn’t live up to their claims – read more https://www.choice.com.au/spf. As expected, the Cancer Council’s sunscreen passed the test.

COVER YOUR DÉCOLLETAGE when outside in the sun, be it a high neck top or a scarf or accessories when wearing a lower cut top. There are some great winter scarves now available or why not give your outfit a colourful twist with a bandana?
