How To Minimise Age Spots In 3 Steps

3 Step Skincare Routine To Minimise Hyperpigmentation & Age Spots

Age spots, otherwise known as liver spots are a common sign of ageing skin, and are nothing to worry about, however finding that secret ingredient to help minimise their appearance is something we won't turn away!

What Causes Age Spots?

Age spots, also known as liver spots are flat, brown, gray, or black spots that often appear on sun-exposed areas of the skin, such as the face, hands, shoulders, and arms. As the skin ages, it's ability to regenerate and repair itself diminishes, making it more susceptible to the effects of UV rays and sun exposure.
