After years of exposure to UV light, melanin builds up in certain areas and is produced in high concentrations. This results in age spots that start showing up as you age.
So while aging is natural, pigmented spots or age spots CAN BE AVOIDED OR REDUCED!
They’re caused by our increased exposure to UV-damage. However, there may be other non-disease causes too that trigger hyperpigmentation such as
- Pregnancy which can cause dark patches on the neck, under the bust and abdomen,
- PCOS, Menopause and other hormonal triggers that can also lead to darkening of intimate areas such as inner thighs and other parts of the body.
(While disease conditions need to be treated with medical attention, An Ayurvedic Supplement can be a good option for aging, Sun-Damage, UV induced pigmentation and may have effect on uneven skin tone due to PCOS and hormonal triggers.
Often people try hydroquinone creams with retinoids or ‘bleaching’ creams to try to fade age spots externally. This can make your skin MORE sensitive to UV damage, so you’re full circle (and for some body parts it’s not even convenient to use those creams)
Common OTCs have the following ingredients, which again, end up making the skin sensitive on the surface.
- steroids
- deoxyarbutin
- glycolic acid
- alpha hydroxy acid
- kojic acid
These creams can be harsh and damage your skin in the long run and in the short term they make your skin MORE sensitive to the sun. They can cause:
Skin rashes, irritation and sores
Stinging/burning/
inflammation
Acne which further leaves behind scars
Extreme dryness or the condition of xeroderma
- skin rashes, irritation and sores
- stinging/burning/inflammation
- acne which further leaves behind scars
- thin skin
- redness
- extreme dryness or the condition of xeroderma
- contact dermatitis
Natural oils and other safe skincare solutions may help manage the appearance of pigmentation over time,
but,
what if there was something you could do from INSIDE your body to help with pigmentation visible externally?
This is where Ayurveda presents its dual excellence and comes to your rescue – not through your skin, but through your gut instead!
