LRx for age spots

Dear Mary,
I have age spots on my face and on my hands. As I am quite fair, these are very prominent-looking and certainly very ugly. Help!
Spotty
Age spots are really a nuisance, and even if one does not go under the sun, they still come out. Most of the better cosmetics have a face cream or stick. I recommend either Estee Lauder or Chanel. They come in the form of a stick (like a lipstick) – Estee Lauder is in a light shade while Chanel comes in a transparent one. Both will help erase the spots on your face.

I’ve got a scar on my right leg that’s bigger than a five-peso coin and whiter than the rest of my skin. It’s all because of my stupidity that I got burned by a motorbike’s tambutso. I’m desperate because I consider my legs as my only asset. Could you recommend an ointment that will make the scar less noticeable? I tried using a cream that I bought from a drug store but it didn’t work.
Jocylin
Try Cica-Care adhesive gel sheet, made in England by Smith and Nephew. It’s been medically proven as an effective treatment for red and raised, old and new scars. In patient trials, 90 percent of scars improved in appearance by softening, flattening and fading.
Each separate cut piece of Cica-Care is good for one-month’s use. Best results are seen after two to four months’ treatment. The gel sheet must be cleaned daily.
Tingting
I started using deodorants as early as in grade school. I’m in college now and I’ve noticed that my armpits have turned dark. Because of this, I dread wearing spag straps or sleeveless tees. How do I make my armpits white again?

You can go to a reputable dermatologist or beauty center – they have whitening and bleaching options for those with problems such as yours. The rule of thumb is, anything that irritates your armpits will consequently render them darker, too. Make sure that you have no adverse reactions to the deodarants you use and make an effort to wax or pluck (not shave) your armpits.
