subject: Are Over The Counter Age Spot Lotions Effective? If Not Then What Is? [print this page] If you are wondering that are over the counter age spot lotions effective? Then take a step back and think, for how long you have been using those age spot lotions? And have you got any satisfactory results? Chances are that answer would be that you are not satisfied. But have you ever wondered why? Allow me to explain. Our skin is made of cells, tissues and pigments. One such pigment is called melanin. The purpose of melanin is to give a shade to skin. People in the western world have less melanin that is why they have a lighter shade of skin where as Asian people have higher levels of melanin and that is why they have a brownish or wheatish tan. This pigment is very unstable in nature it breaks down very easily in the presence of sunlight. And once broken it accumulates randomly in various body parts like back of hands, neck and hands. The result is seen as age spots or dark spots. Now that you know what is the root cause of these spots the rest would be easy to understand. Many over the counter products do not have any ingredient what so ever to destroy the melanin accumulation or reduce the levels of broken melanin and that is why they are not effective. In fact most over the counter age spot lotions are only moisturizers and concealers. They only hide the effected area and do nothing else. For an effective remedy you should look for products that contain ingredients to counter the effect of melanin. One such ingredient is Extrapone Nutgrass. It is extracted from an herb found in India. Extrapone is very very effective in breaking down the accumulated melanin and hence reducing the agespots. Extrapone is also used a means to reduce the brownish tan of skin. Its natural emollient properties gently soothe and moisturize the skin. Another ingredient that you should look for is called Wakame. It's an excellent emollient and an antioxidant that can reduce wrinkles dramatically. Not only does it helps in improving the quality of skin cells it also helps in their re-growth. Healthy skin cells also help in destroying the accumulation of melanin. Together both these ingredients target the root cause of age spots i.e. accumulated melanin. If you are looking for high quality age spot lotions then you should make sure that the products you buy consist of both these ingredients. Now that you are armed with the right information, selecting an effective product shouldn't be a problem for you anymore and a smooth and perfect skin is well within your reach. I have listed few such wonder ingredients on my website Skin Health Solution take some time out and read more about them.
