Creams For Acne
The easiest way to tell a persons age is to look at their hands. You can look young and beautiful but if you have unsightly age spots on your hands everybody will know that you are no longer young. This is why it is important to find a good hand cream for age spots.

Have you ever wondered why your hands look older then the rest of your skin?

The main reason is damage done by UV rays from the sun. Most people when going out in the sun will put a sun block lotion on their exposed skin but forgetting to put any on their hands. Over time skin cells called melanocytes will start producing a brown colored pigment that is called melanin. When melanin concentrates on one spot, dark brown age spots occur due to hyperpigmentation.

What can you do to get rid of age spots on your hands?
Laser resurfacing treatments will work, but its expensive and comes with many side effects and may have to be done every six months or so. A home remedy that may lighten age spots on your hands is to dab some lemon juice on a cotton cloth and rub into your age spots. I don't recommend this because it is known to irritate and leave behind red splotchy patches instead of the age spots you were trying to remove.
I prefer to use a natural hand cream for age spots that doesn't have any unpleasant side effects. One that will lighten the color of your age spots without irritating or harming your skin like other products do!
One of the ingredients I like is called exrapone nutgrass, this substance was developed as an anti-irritant for the skin but later it was found to have skin whitening properties. It was found to inhibit the production of melanin, which means its great for lightening skin, age spots and freckles.
I also look for a hand cream for age spots to contain the powerful antioxidant vitamin E. Free radicals cause premature skin aging but vitamin E will help to prevent free radicals from forming.
You also want to keep your hands well moisturized, some excellent natural oils such as maracuja and jojaba will help you to do this.
