Age Spot Looks Much the Same

Well it’s a week since I started the castor oil treatment for my age spot. I think it’s only fair to report to you that it looks exactly the same so far. Now of course, natural remedies do tend to take longer to work than pharmaceuticals or cosmeceuticals, so I must be patient.

If you want to try this, be warned that castor oil can be messy stuff, so apply it sparingly. If that makes it take longer to work, so be it — as long as it works eventually that’s fine with me. I think any natural treatment for age spots is worth waiting for, don’t you?

I’ll keep you posted.

I Have an Age Spot on My Neck!

Age spots! Yikes! Interesting how you look in the mirror one morning and there’s yet another change in your skin to remind you of your age! To be honest, this one is not new because I’ve had it for a couple of months, but I just didn’t know what it was until yesterday. I was so concerned about wrinkles and dull skin that I never even thought about age spots — until I realized I had one.

OK, now I’m on yet another quest: finding an age spots treatment. I think there are some natural treatments to get rid of age spots, which I’ll check out first. But I’m sure there are probably creams for removing age spots too, and since these often work faster I’ll be looking into those too. I’ll let you know what I find out, what I try and what works — if anything!
