Age spots are the flat brown, black or yellow spots that appear on the neck, hands and face.
According to the American Academy of Dermatology, age spots are formed due to prolonged exposure to the sun. Sun rays tend to cause deposition of melanin at a localized area, which leads to the appearance of age spots.
You may associate age spots with adults over the age of 50, but young adults can get them as well, especially if they spend a lot of time in the sun.
ACV FOR AGE SPOTS
Dr. Doug Willen, author of Quantum Paleo, has provided a quick and natural solution to age spots. He recommends apple cider vinegar mixed with onion juice.
- Take one fresh onion and dice it.
- Pulverize it using a mortar and pestle.
- Put the liquefied onion into a blender.
- Add in the apple cider vinegar and blend.
- Use a cotton ball to apply the remedy to your age spots.
ACV FOR ACNE AND PIMPLES
ACV has antibacterial, anti-fungal and antiviral properties which help prevent acne and skin infections. It also unblocks pores and allows skin to breathe properly, so it is very effective in treating acne and pimples.
AVC doesn’t just effectively remove excess oil from your skin, it also helps to balance pH levels and can prevent your skin from becoming too oily or too dry by balancing the production of sebum.
Mix equal parts of ACV and water. Try adding green tea, aloe vera gel or witch hazel. After a while when your skin got used to it, you can gradually increase the concentration of the ACV. It depends on the tolerance of your skin. Just make sure you shake it before you use it, so that the water and ACV are thoroughly mixed up.
