How to get rid of pigment spots on both face and hands naturally?

Small dark spots are all over your face driving you crazy? Don't worry we got so many tips to get rid of them naturally! But first, let's go back to the origins. 

What causes pigment spots? 

Don't get me wrong, dark spots are not always due to aging! No matter your age, ethnicity or lifestyle, everyone can suffer from pigment spots! These are actually an overproduction of melanin that can be caused by different factors.

Get to know them

• UVs: They are the first cause of pigment spots appearance both on face and hands. Be careful with some cosmetics you use when going under the sun. Many cosmetics contain a high concentration of alcohol and exposed to the sun it often leaves dark spots (we're thinking about fragrances).
  
  
• Acne: when an acne spot is exposed to the sun, a dark spot can appear over it, especially if the skin is affected.
  
  
• Skin aging:  As it ages, skin becomes thinner, more sensitive and the cell production is slowing down. When UV rays go through an aging epidermis, there is an overproduction of melanin in the exposed areas. It can appear on both hands and face! 
  
  
• Hormones: the contraceptive pill and some types of medicines can have a big impact on hormones and create dark spots on your face. 

Now that you know what causes pigment spots on face, hands and sometimes on the chest, let's get to how to make them disappear. 

Get rid of pigment spots thanks to snail slime. Yes, my dear!
