Age spots (liver Spots) - Beauty & Cosmetics Message Board

Age spots. I started getting them last year and have not as of yet been able to get rid of them. I am an avid gardener. I love being outside all the time as soon as it gets warm. I do wear sunscreen but apparently not enough since I noticed the spots on my arms and a few on my chest. YUK! Anyone out there have any suggestions on what to buy to fade them. I've tried that cheap stuff from Wal-mart. It just didn't do the job. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Laser will get rid of them permanently, that's all I know that truly works.

My derm gave me EpiQuin for by blothces on my face from my BCP. I used it on my hands as well cause I work for a lansdcaping and gardening company. They didn't go away.
My derm suggested lazer as Diane said. I wanted a chemical peel but she said for my skin that the Fraxel lazer would work better.

I use SPF 70 sunblock by Hawaiian Tropic. I wear jeans and a long sleeve shirt by Under Armour. I live in new Orleans yes it gets hot but the shirt keeps you cool when hot and warm when it''s cold. I also wear and SPF 50 rated hat. I reapply about 4 times a day to my face and hands or more if I have time.

Thanks. I sure was hoping for something tropical. I guess I'll have to go to the dermatologist then. Thanks again.
