Guest guest Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Hi J, I don't so much think of essential oils as face creams that contain kojic acid, which is a skin bleacher derived from fungus. It had until recently been widely used in Japan, where it is now under review by their cosmetic ingredients regulatory agency. There is also a skin lightening product made from the droppings of the Japanese Bush Warbler (Nightingale) which works via enzymatic action. *Smile* Chris (list mom) http://www.alittleolfactory.com , " J M " <jmfazal wrote: > > hi > > I am looking for some oil or herbs, for age spot, or liver spot as it is > sometimes called, > not sure if pigmentation is also the same thing? anyways, if anyone has had > any > successful experience with any oils please i would be most grateful to know. > > > thnkx > have a great weekend > J > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Citrus, such as lemon juice is known for lightening too. I don't know how effective it is though.

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Hi J, Not essential oils, but some possible lighteners... I have not personally tried these... 1) Elderflower water 2) Lemon Juice 3) Dandelion extract or oil (using the leaves) 4) Rosehip Seed oil 5) Cornflower infusion 6) Cleavers(Bedstraw) infusion Don't forget to look for any irregularities or changes in freckles/moles etc, and see your doctor for advice. Good luck! Julie Herzog , " J M " <jmfazal wrote: > > hi > > I am looking for some oil or herbs, for age spot, or liver spot > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
