Hi Annie, I came across your column and am happy to say that over a period of time I have successfully implemented your remedies at home with minimal cost and good results. I have a question for you. I am 25 years old but due to past excessive exposure to sun I have developed brown spots on my face and have started developing wrinkles around my eyes. I am wondering if you have a remedy for it which is made up of natural products?

Brown spots—age spots or liver spots they are sometimes called—are the result of sun exposure. In researching my book Better Basics for the Home: Simple Solutions for Less Toxic Living, I saw certain ingredients used over and over again for this problem. The ingredients include vitamin E, aloe vera gel, fruit acids such as lemon juice and organic apply cider vinegar, enzymes such as papaya and pineapple, witch hazel, and horseradish mixed with lemon juice, or milk. I’ve seen my age spots significantly diminish over a number of months using lemon juice as an astringent and an aloe vera gel and glycerin moisturizer (3/4 parts aloe vera gel, 1/4 part natural vegetable glycerin).

+ add your ownThank you for the good information..
Does it work?
A lot depends on skin type and spot severity. For the mild spots on average skin, these remedies should help (after much applying of potion and patience!).
thanks for the suggestions
An even easier way to use the lemon juice ( the one which acts like diminishing the dark spot) is just put some lemon drops on your hands before you put you cream then mix and use it!
This works but you have to be persevering and do this for many month to see the results...
Thanks
Ok. Thank you.
Lemons are cheap...think I will try pain lemon on my spots.
