How to Use Coconut Oil for Getting Rid of Age Spots Naturally

What Are Age Spots

Age Spots are a kind of skin condition in which spots appear on different parts of your body especially face. The other name of age spots is liver spots and sun spots. n this post, I am writing about how coconut oil can help in reducing these age spots as well as various natural home remedies for the same.

What are the Causes of Age Spots or Liver Spots

These are bound to occur due to excessive exposure of the body to sunlight. Yet another factor for these sun spots is aging skin. The prime age group which is bound to suffer from these age spots is 40 and above.

They might be dark brown in color but sometimes red and black too. Since harmful rays of the sun are the prime cause of these liver spots so you will see them mostly on your hands, face, neck, or shoulders i.e. the areas which are mostly exposed.

However they are not harmful and thus not to be feared about. For those who wish to remove these age spots, they can resort to various natural treatments or skin bleaching creams. They are likely to change the appearance of a person's skin.

How Coconut Oil Helps In Reducing Age Spots

Coconut oil has been considered to be useful not just for your health but it is also a beauty oil too. Yes it is one of those oils which has tremendous benefits for your skin as well as hair. The world over it is regarded as one of the most popular oils for beauty care.

Coconut oil is regarded as one of the best natural remedies for getting rid of age spots. It helps in not just reducing but also prevents the appearance of age spots if it is used regularly. Coconut oil comes packed with various antioxidants which help in fighting against these age spots.

How to Use Coconut Oil for Age Spots

If you want to use coconut oil for getting rid of age spots then go ahead with using virgin coconut oil since it is considered to be rich in antioxidants.

In order to apply the oil, just clean your face and then pat dry with a soft towel. Now take some drops of coconut oil and apply it on the age spots. Gently massage the spots with this oil. It is better for your skin if you go for upward strokes on the face. Coconut oil should be applied for age spots not just on face but even if they exist on your neck or hands then too you may apply it.

In order to prevent age spots from occurring it is best if you apply coconut oil immediately after you have came back from outside and have been exposed to sun rays.

Continue applying coconut till the age spots disappears completely from your skin.

Yet another effective way to use coconut oil on the age spots is to mix 4 tbsp of castor oil and 4 drops of vitamin E in around 2 tbsp of coconut oil. Now apply this mixture directly on to your age spots. Apply this mixture twice a day to get the best results. After repeated usage, you will see your age spots getting fade away.

8 Natural Home Remedies for Getting Rid of Age Spots

Apart from coconut oil there are various other natural home remedies for age spots too which can work wonders if applied on the person suffering from these liver spots.
