Pigment spots on the hands - about the reasons for their appearance and how to get rid of them - read here .
There are two types of age-related pigmentation: seborrheic keratosis and lentigo senile.
Senile lentigo
It occurs during the period of hormonal age-related changes, the reason is a decrease in sex hormones produced by the body.
Clinical picture: flat brown spots with blurred boundaries, which indicates a sufficient depth of their occurrence. The size of the spots can vary and reach up to 1 cm in diameter.
Seborrheic keratosis
Formed in areas with an increased number of sebaceous glands, i.e. on seborrheic areas.
Clinical picture: spots of brown and dark brown color, distinctive features - rise above the surface of the skin, the spots themselves have a greasy surface, covered with horny scales.
The rashes have a characteristic localization - these are seborrheic areas of the skin - the back, chest and face (mainly the T-zone).
The spots are benign, but it is necessary to exercise oncological vigilance, up to a 20% chance of their malignancy.
What causes pigmentation?
Pigmentation appears in women for a variety of reasons, and no woman is immune from the appearance of these terrible spots on the face and body.
Before using any whitening product, you must clearly understand what type of pigmentation you are dealing with.

How to remove age spots on the face
Seborrheic keratosis
Due to the existing likelihood of malignancy, consultation with an oncologist or dermatologist-oncologist is necessary about the possibility of removing the formations.
The method of correction is surgical removal.
Senile lentigo
Correction is possible by prescribing cosmetics - the treatment regimen corresponds to the classic treatment of pigmentation and includes 3 points:
- Exfoliants
- Lightening agents
- Antioxidants
Prevention of the recurrence of lentigo is the regular application of sunscreen with SPF and preparations with antioxidants to the skin, because there is a failure of the skin's own antioxidant defense system.
IMPORTANT! If, over the age of 55 years, there are pigment spots and formations on the skin, the clinical picture of which does not correspond to that described above, a face-to-face consultation with an oncologist is necessary. Prescribing lightening procedures and medications without consulting this specialist is undesirable!
After consulting a dermatologist, lightening drugs are prescribed and retinoids are preferred.
Rules for using Chinese Green Tea Cream
To obtain a lasting effect from using this series of whitening products, you need to know the basic rules of use:
- the products are used in combination - in the morning white (day) cream, in the evening - yellow (night) cream,
- applied to a cleansed face, which must be moistened with water before application,
- To improve the effect, do a massage.
It is necessary to use Chinese Green Tea cream regularly. If all conditions are met, pigmentation will become lighter in just a couple of weeks. At the end of the course, undeveloped pigment spots will completely disappear from the skin.
Why retinoids
To effectively lighten the skin from age spots, the same three groups of products are needed: lightening substances - reduce the production of melanin, antioxidants - reduce the number of free radicals that provoke melanin hyperproduction and exfoliating substances - accelerate cellular renewal and remove colored cells from the surface of the skin.
Retinoids cope with all three tasks simultaneously, which reduces the number of products used to one.
IMPORTANT! Retinoids are involved in the activation of genes responsible for suppressing tumor growth.
Therefore, some retinoids are used as a local auxiliary drug in the treatment of skin manifestations of cancer. Thus, the use of retinoids is the prevention of degeneration of age-related neoplasms.
Read about how important retinoids are in correcting age spots remaining on the skin after acne - post-acne here .
How do retinoids work?
Retinoids are a group of vitamin A derivative substances used by dermatologists and cosmetologists for a number of indications. Due to its physiological effect on the skin, it effectively rejuvenates, eliminates acne and brightens the skin.
- Inhibit tyrosinase
- They inhibit the transport of pigment in the skin - the process of transferring melanin into the pigment cells of melanocytes
- Normalize cellular renewal and stimulate timely exfoliation of pigmented horny scales from the surface of the skin.
- Activate keratogenesis - the appearance on the surface of the skin of cells with a normal, genetically programmed amount of pigment, i.e. normally colored.
- They work as conductors for other active ingredients, ensuring their deep penetration.
Knowing the principles of operation and rules of application, you can achieve a true correction of existing skin problems.
How is the effect achieved?
Although the “Green Tea” cosmetic product has a multicomponent composition, the main whitening properties are green tea, arbutin, rucinol, ascorbic acid and paradioxybenzene. These components penetrate into the deep layers of the skin, inhibit the synthesis of melanin in cells and resist a further increase in its concentration.
Superficial cleansing substances soften the stratum corneum of the epidermis and promote its gentle exfoliation, making the skin soft and refreshed.
Nourishing ingredients (vitamins, minerals, antioxidants) saturate the skin with oxygen, stimulate metabolic processes, moisturize and improve the tone of the dermis. These beneficial properties help consolidate the achieved result and serve as a prevention of possible problems with pigmentation.
Rules for using retinoids
IMPORTANT! It is a serious mistake for a cosmetologist if he avoids prescribing retinoids for fear of side effects: redness, erythema, dryness and flaking. These symptoms can be easily avoided if you follow the recommendations:
- Use cosmetics with retinol from professional brands
Are you tempted to buy an inexpensive retinoid product at the pharmacy? It is important to know the differences:
In pharmaceutical forms, synthetic analogues of retinol are used, which are more aggressive on the skin and are more likely to provoke retinoic dermatitis ;
Professional cosmetic preparations contain natural forms of retinol , which are gentle in operation, while providing all the necessary functions to the skin;
Professional cosmetics with retinol contain ingredients with a brightening effect to enhance effectiveness, as well as a calming and restorative effect - for ease of use.
- Follow the recommended application regimens
Each drug has its own scheme of use, which must be familiarized with before use. The difference in the frequency of application of the product is related to the percentage and form of retinol.
A number of serums and creams with retinol are used daily in the evening (up to 0.5%), and products with 1-2% retinol according to an increasing scheme, very often from the first week from 1 time per week, gradually increasing to a multiplicity - in the evening every other day, to 4-5 weeks of use.
- Apply locally to age spots
If there are no additional indications for the use of retinol, it is enough to apply the product only to the area of age spots.
- Use only at night
Retinoids are applied to the skin only in the evening - a single rule for all products with retinol! A single application is enough, it is important not to forget to apply sunscreen with SPF to the skin in the morning, as retinoids increase, thin the stratum corneum and increase the skin's vulnerability to ultraviolet and other rays.
However, regular use of mineral SPF reduces all threats from the sun to zero and makes the use of retinol completely safe!
- Patience!
The work of retinoids is physiological, so the result of use is not immediately visible. Expect a lasting visible effect in about the second month from the start of use. However, we hasten to please you - the result, thanks to the gradual physiological effects of retinol, is persistent and pronounced. It is possible to completely get rid of age spots within 6-8 months of use.
