Just a word of warning. If you use salicylic or glycolic acid products then do use sun protection.

Too much sun!! My hands are covered as I spend all day in the garden or out as soon as I can.

Wouldn’t be much good me doing anything about it as it would be back to square one in no time.

I use a 5% mixture of salicylic acid which the chemist makes for me. It is mainly petroleum jelly with the salicylic blended in , which gradually removes the top layer of skin and reveals the nice fresh skin underneath. It takes a while, a few months, but it does work and your hands will look really young and smooth. Good luck !

Has anyone managed to fade liver spots on their hands? If so, what did you use
