The appearance of the age spots, which are also known as liver spots , sunspots or lentigines are the most common complaints of aging. These spots are caused by sun exposure.

Mostly people do not have these spots until they are age 40. It is important that people should begin taking care of their skin when they are young so that they do not have these spots occurring at an old age. These spots are not dangerous but they can raise cosmetic concerns.

The most important thing that can be done to prevent these spots from appearing is to protect the skin from the harmful rays of the sun by reducing sun exposure with the sunscreen that has SPF of at least 15 in it. You must wear a hat when you are out in the sun.

Since lemon juice has a very high acidic content, it can peel off the layers of the skin. This can help to lighten or remove age spots and you can use it twice daily. With this remedy it can take several weeks before you start to see an improvement, but you need to be patient and persistent. The red onions also produce the same results as the lemons, so if you are out of lemon, you can use these instead.

The method with which you can lighten or remove these spots is to use the process of exfoliation which will remove dark cells on the skin surface. It will help remove the dead cells and weaken out the pigmentation of the skin, which will even out the skin tone and remove the age related spots.

There is another therapy which is present in the form of creams are the fade creams, which can be used to lighten the spots. These fade creams contain bleaching agents that can lighten the spots and the best results are seen in individuals with light skin. If your skin is dark then these fade creams will make your spots even darker.

Another method to remove the dark spots is to use the acids and lasers to peel off the skin and remove the age spots. You can get the chemical peels from stores and can treat your dark spots or can opt for the laser therapy.

Retinoids are used to treat the skin spots and they have vitamin A in them. They trigger the growth of new cells and help the unwanted spots to fade. The side effect of the retinoids is that it can be harsh on your skin and can cause it to become dry or flaky.

Finally if the spots are not fully gone, you can use the foundation and the concealer to hide the spots.

What strikes to our mind when we hear the word pair? Our mind goes in the world of imagination and comes back with some answers as pair of scissors, pair of socks, lovely pair of Bradpitt and Angelina jolie,Tom n Jerry’s funny pair, Mickey mouse’s and Donald duck’s sweet pair and so on.

Have any of us thought about that pair which is smashed, worn everywhere, which is expected to remain rough and tough and face all difficulties –yes I am talking about the pair of shoes. Pair of shoe plays an important role in each and every person’s life. Imagine yourself without shoes walking barefooted in the scorching heat, stones and thorns hurting your soft and supple sole. Finally you reach home and understand the importance of the pair of shoe though worn in the feet but yet its part and parcel of our life. Suddenly one fine day an advertisement is shown on the television about the sweet “sugar shoes”, hopping “jump shoes” and rough and tough “crocs shoes” and you exclaim “what a pair!!”

Finally sugar shoes are purchases for your wife, your sister, your daughter who is as sweet as sugar. Jump shoes are purchased for a boy who loves hopping and jumping everywhere, for a young chap who wants to show it off to his friends and also by a teenager who is waiting for his rock climbing adventure. Crocs shoes are purchased by the person who feels that no one can dare to harass him.

Sugar shoes, jump shoes and crocs shoes feel sad in the morning as they have to head to different places but at night when all the pairs get together they talk with each other about their life and experiences. They talk about how useful they are to people, they are rough and tough and ready to face any climatic changes. When they are at a party they feel good and people praise them by saying” what a pair”.

A person’s feet remain lonely without sugar shoes, crocs shoes and jump shoes. Looking at sugar shoes, crocs shoes and jump shoes, one thing that comes in my mind is “WHAT A PAIR”.
