    Thanks for the tips to improve the appearance of the skin especially the skin from the face since everyone can see it. I have some brown spots near my nose but I actually don?t dislike them, so I don?t know if I want to try to remove them, but I should take more care when leaving outdoors using sunscreen.

    My mother in law is always trying to give me creams and weird cosmetic products that are loaded with chemicals. She just loves those creams that claim they “erase” age spots and wrinkles, and I just don’t think it’s healthy!! I definitely think using herbs is the way to go…it’s a natural product for natural skin!
