Got Age Spots or Wrinkles?
Age spots as well as wrinkles will often appear naturally as we age.
But understanding why they occur can be the first step in our quest to prevent and event treat them.
Firstly, why do age spots appear?
Hyperpigmentation is the name that healthcare professionals give to patches of skin that become darker than surrounding areas of skin.
It occurs when the skin produces more melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color. This can make spots or patches of skin appear darker than surrounding areas. And age spots are one just one of the results from hyperpigmentation which can affect people of all skin types.
Secondly, why do wrinkles and fine lines appear?
Wrinkles are creases, folds or ridges in the skin, appearing naturally as we age usually on a person’s face in areas where the skin naturally folds during facial expressions. They can become more obvious as the skin becomes thinner and less elastic over time.
Wrinkles also tend to appear on parts of the body that receive most sun exposure, such as the face and neck, back of the hands and arms.
While wrinkles are a natural part of growing older and affect everyone to a greater or lesser extent, many will dislike their appearance.
Wrinkles can be divided into two categories; there are those fine surface lines and then there are deep furrows mostly affecting the sensitive skin near the eyes, the lips and neck.
How can age spots be prevented and treated?
- Avoid exposure to the sun by using a natural sunscreen if you have to be in the sun or by wearing a hat with wide brims.
- Avoid picking at the skin. To prevent hyperpigmentation from forming after an injury, avoid picking at spots, scabs and acne.
Dark spots are also known as age spots, liver spots or sun spots.
Don't be tempted to bleach your skin or to use a cosmetic procedure as these are not permanent solutions and could even cause you harm. And the ingredient hyd***none can even leach into the skin surrounding dark spots, causing light spots so you end up with a combination of dark spots and light spots.
It is always safer to go with natural products
H-Age Spots Formula is gentle and completely natural.
Using a natural formula for dark spots is a more gentle and safe alternative for your skin. There are no chemicals or synthetic substances in this natural Formula as only a pure blend of established ingredients are used, designed to go to work naturally with no pain and no scarring.

How can wrinkles and fine lines be prevented and resolved?
Smooth, blemish-free skin helps to keep us looking younger but it is not just from the outside as we need to keep our skin wrinkle-free from the inside too.
Our skin comprises two layers and wrinkles can start in either layer. That all-important collagen can be greatly boosted by what we put into our bodies so it is vital to avoid smoking, inflammation, insufficient nutrients in the diet, too little oxygen, too much stress and the perils of air pollution.
There is much you can do to avoid or diminish wrinkles including the use of wrinkle reduction:
- A twice daily regime of cleansing the skin of all impurities and make up. A special cleanser for eye make should be used. Use natural products so that you are not adding any toxins and chemicals to the skin.
- Avoid the use of soap on the face as this can be very drying.
- In the mornings, apply a natural moisturizer before the rest of your make up to improve the moisture-holding capacity of the skin.
- Use a natural eye product for the delicate area around the eyes, using the third finger to apply with the 3rd finger because that digit has the lightest touch.
- If you sleep on your back, you reduce the gravitational pull on the skin on your face and avoid puffiness in the morning. A satin pillow case is helpful too.
Although wrinkles are part of the process of getting older, their appearance can be diminished with extra care and natural wrinkle products. H-Glow Formula is formulated to reduce wrinkles on the face, neck and hands and on the body in a natural, gentle way. When topically applied directly to the wrinkles using a small amount of formula, the constituents of H-Glow Formula will help smooth the appearance of wrinkles.
Our H-Glow Formula can be used on wrinkles wherever and whenever they appear. When applied to the cleansed face and neck or massaged into fine lines themselves, the Formula will assist in rejuvenating, balancing and repairing the skin while encouraging cell regeneration. When used as directed, the product will help to smooth out affected areas by giving a more youthful and fresh appearance.
