Brown spots, even though they
produce no pain or discomfort, are very anesthetic and most often are a burden
for people who have to deal with them. They influence one’s appearance and may
even shake well one’s confidence in themselves. This is why, those having to
cope such skin imperfections want to get rid of them as soon as possible, yet without
experiencing any further damage of the skin.
One of the most employed method through which the brown spots are removed is by exfoliation of the upper layers of skin. This presupposes the application of a special cream which help the darker layers of skin be removed without affecting the healthy cells. In most cases the creams used contain AHA or alpha hydroxyl acid.
AHA is basically a group of
more acids used for treating several skin conditions such as acne, brown spots,
scars, fine lines and wrinkles. In this group of AHA we can individuate the
glycolic acid – a substance extracted from sugar cane, the lactic acid which is
made up from milk, the citric acid – ingredient extracted from citric fruits,
tartaric acid which is extracted from grapes, from apples it is extracted the
malic acid, while the mandelic acid is extracted from almonds. It addition to
treating different skin conditions, these acids are also very effective in
moisturizing and nourishing the skin.
From all these acids, by far
the most used substance in treating sun spots is the glycolic acid. Yet, the
lactic and the citric acid are also used extensively when it comes to removing
brown spots. These substances are mainly used in dermatological offices. There,
under medical supervision, creams containing higher or lower concentrations of
substance (depending on the severity of the issue) are applied on the skin,
thus removing the upper layer of skin and leaving the healthy ones to the
surface.
There are also home-based
bleaching creams which contain AHA, but the concentrations of the active
substances are lower, as they are not done under medical supervision, thus the
risk of side effects increases significantly. In fact, it is recommended that
if you want to exfoliate your skin using one of these products, to choose the
one which has a lower quantity of active substance at the beginning, and only
if that cream is not successful to try a more concentrate product.
AHAs are good in treating brown
spots, but side effects may appear during the exfoliation process or
afterwards. If you want a safe, cheap and natural way to remove your brown
spots for ever, then read this book. You will find out there all you
