Hello everybody.
It is time for another Katie Mansfield beauty tip.
It is time for another Katie Mansfield beauty tip.
You have seen those suspicious ads on the side of your Facebook page haven't you? Fade age spots with this weird trick. I don't know about you but I am too suspicious to click on those links.
I've been curious about that one weird trick is though.
I hardly consider myself a beauty expert but I've spent two years doing some research for you - two long years.
I'm blessed that I don't have premature gray hair but I have the misfortune of having premature age spots on my hands.
Seriously my hands looked so bad.

Here is what they looked two years ago.

Here is what they looked two years ago.
I decided to try some fading cream or age spot corrector.
Some were okay. Some were worthless.
I've tried Mary Kay.
Sally's Beauty Supply
Oil of Olay
Nutrogena
I even tried some natural remedies.
Hydrogen Peroxide
Baking Soda (It is a universal cure all is it not?)
Lemon Juice
This was taken in September of 2013 after more than a year of using creams. Ridiculous. Some spots actually looked worse.
I think that I had the most success with the Nutrogena
until I visited my new dermatologist.
I showed him a little spot on my hand that didn't look quite like the other age spots. It looked funny to me.
Well quicker than I could say "ouch" he started working on my spots with dry ice.
He was kind and called them freckles. Ha!
I didn't scream but it was painful.
My age spots didn't look better, instead they looked like leporosy.
Soon the spots turned blackish and these scale like things fell off. Some of them scabbed over.
The others flaked off after a week and half or so. The spots continued to look red for a while but slowly they started to look better.
I tell you this in case you are afflicted with the same problem. It wasn't a huge deal to me but I was a little self conscience about it.
I've used moisturizer on my face since I was 13 but I didn't use lotion or sunscreen on my hands.
I will now in case these come back.
The Dr. said if I still wasn't happy with them that I needed to do laser next time.
Yikes.
My sister in law says it doesn't hurt but what does it cost?
My insurance covered all but $76.00 of this.

My insurance covered all but $76.00 of this.
It was worth it and it took ten years off of my hands.
They don't look so much like my Granny's hands anymore.
I hope you are having a great day and stay out of the sun!
