Age Spots On Face, Melasma, And Freckled Skin

By Scarlett Olson, Founder of SOCO Botanicals

After I turned 26, I was living in Vail, Colorado, which is known its high percentage of sunny days, I developed some wrinkles and dark sunspots on my face, especially on my forehead, cheeks, and above my lips. I assumed I was just getting to that age that I needed to pay attention to my skin.

I asked a friend's mom who had gorgeous flawless skin in her 60's what skin cream she used and I thought to myself, "I'll do whatever she's doing".

She told me to use face oil instead of cream. She taught me about oils: how they don’t clog pores, how they soak into the skin, and how different oils offer different benefits. Some oils are high in natural SPF, others help reduce sunspots. Many are antioxidant, others are cancer fighting and several oils encourage collagen production. I learned about CoQ10, which is an amazing ingredient that helps to reduce sun spots, and I set out to create the perfect face oil blend for wrinkle reduction and reducing sun spots.

The truth is, fourteen years later I actually have better skin, without ANY medical or surgical procedures. Don't underestimate the power of skin nutrition! Here's some valuable information on sun spots and how to get rid of them naturally.

What Are Sunspots?

Sun ѕроtѕ аrе the dark ѕроtѕ that form on the skin as a result оf excessive ѕun damaged skin, hormonal imbalances and aging. Also known as Melasma, age spots, liver spots or hyperpigmentation, the body produces melanin, which darkens the skin and protects it from further damage. Thеse concentrated рооlѕ оf melanin form оn the surface of the skin in over sun-exposed аrеаѕ like the shoulders, face, and bасk. there are some steps you can take tо lighten the spots and mаkе them lеѕѕ visible.

How to Get Rid of Sunspots

You can get rid of sun spots with expensive laser treatments, but they can easily come back if you don't address the deeper issue, which is the dysfunction of the melanocytes (skin cells that produce melanin). Laser treatments can also do further damage to skin cells, causing worse damage to the skin including burns and permanent scarring.

Skin Care Tips to Reduce Sun Spots & Melasma

1. Red Raspberry Seed Oil: This oil has high natural sun protection of 28-50 SPF. You can find it in face oil blends or use it by itself topically. Red Raspberry Seed Oil also is loaded with antioxidants and vitamins, which protect the skin from damage at the cellular level.

What About Essential Oils For Age Spots On Face?

Essential oils: Essential oils can help reduce dark spots, and thеу can help to reverse skin damage аnd inflаmmаtiоn. Additiоnаllу, they bring hydration and blood flow to the skin, delivering antioxidants that fight frее radicals; thus preventing thе inflаmmаtоrу process that eventually lеаds tо thе mаlfunсtiоn оf the mеlаnосуtеѕ. In addition to reduction of sun spots, the 2 most important essential oils for skin, Immortelle (Helichrysum) and Neroli both have extraordinary anti aging, anti-wrinkle, skin healing benefits.

2. Pomegranate Seed Oil: Pomegranate is known in Ayurvedic medicine to have cancer fighting properties as well as being an antioxidant powerhouse. It also contains ellagic acid, a polyphenol found in pomegranates, which in clinical studies has shown to have skin lightening properties comparable to hydroquinone, reducing sun spots effectively. It also has been clinically proven to inhibit the growth of skin tumors.

3. Coenzyme Q10: The International Journal of Cosmetic Science published a study recently that showed that CoQ10 helped to reduce sun spots. Researchers found that CoQ10 could reduce melanin content in skin cells, so it could potentially be used to reduce skin discoloration due to sun exposure. Topical CoQ10 is quickly absorbed right into the skin where the sun spots need it the most.

Best Face Oil Moisturizer For Reducing Sunspots:

There is only one face oil blend that has a concentrated blend of Red Raspberry Seed Oil, Pomegranate, CoQ10, Helichrysum and Neroli with very high concentrations: SOCO Symphony Anti Aging Elixir. Most other face oil blends have watered down versions of these essential ingredients. SOCO Symphony has all of these skin oils in high concentrations that help reduce sun damage and sun spots.

“Facial oils are an excellent way to get antioxidants and vitamins quickly into the skin. Oils are absorbed quickly, and soften the appearance of fine lines.” -Celebrity Dermatologist, Dr. Gervaise Gerstner

This is the best serum I've ever purchased, and I highly recommend it if you have dry skin. Wouldn’t be without it!! My skin is becoming drier as I age and effective moisturizers are hard to find. This serum absorbs extremely well into my dry skin and keeps my face feeling nice and moisturized, not oily. I use it twice daily and always have a backup so I don't run out! If you need moisture to keep you glowing, this one's for you!!!
