Sometimes melanin is concentrated on certain areas, creating brown spots, because they get the most sun. However, some brown spots, also known to many people as age spots, can also occur as a result of other internal reasons.
Here are simple ways to naturally avoid excess brown spot production
- Sun Protection
- Increase Antioxidants
- Watch Your Iron Intake
Surely, your mother has expressed the need to put on some sunscreen. Try a minimum of SPF 30. This should help block at least 97% of UVB rays, which is what causes sunburns and of course an overproduction of melanin.
As we age, free radicals are more difficult to control. So we need to rely on the help of other factors, such as antioxidants, which do a tremendous job in controlling these free radicals.
Delicious fruits, like berries and oranges supply us with a lot of vitamin C, which produces antioxidants. Other vitamins, such as Vitamin E and beta-carotene are also very helpful.
First and foremost, it’s important to understand that although many of us feel we are going to get healthier or having more beautiful skin, because of the amount of vitamins we take, you should also know that many supplements have a high amount of iron in them.
Although iron can benefit us in many ways, it’s also recently been identified as more of a life-shortening factor than calories are! So imagine the negative benefits it could have on your skin cells.
As you can imagine, how we take care of ourselves, internally and externally, makes a big difference in the way our skin looks.
