Today, we’re going to talk about how to get rid of hyperpigmentation. Some people also refer to hyperpigmentation as aging spots, dark spots, or liver spots.
The liver doesn’t actually cause aging spots or liver spots. These spots are caused by too much melanin, which is a skin pigment.
Certain things might cause you to notice more dark spots, including:
• The summer months
• Age
• Diabetes
• Pregnancy
• Birth control
• Hormone replacement therapy
• Stress
A few causes of hyperpigmentation are:
• Excess estrogen
• Excess cortisol
• Excess insulin
Melanin protects against UV and also acts as an antioxidant. It’s actually there to try to counter all of the damage that’s happening to your skin. These dark spots are really an indication that you’re low in vitamin C and other antioxidants.
Tyrosinase is a certain enzyme that’s necessary to make melanin. But there are some interesting natural remedies that can act as tyrosinase inhibitors.
Natural remedies for aging spots, dark spots, or liver spots:
• Cinnamon
• Cocoa bean
• Grape seed extract
• Green tea
• Aloe
• Vitamin C
• Licorice
• Quercetin
• Melatonin
The best things to do to increase your antioxidant levels and get rid of dark spots:
1. Consume raw vegetables and salads
2. Consume foods high in zinc
3. Do fasting
4. Avoid sugar and stress
5. Avoid burning your skin
6. Exercise

Thanks for watching! I hope this helps explain how to get rid of hyperpigmentation. I’ll see you in the next video.
This doctor really deserve a noble Prize...
Yes he does 👏
‘Nobel’ prize 🏆
Are u OK or not?!?!
It's Nobel. "noble" means something COMPLETELY different
I finally tried fasting after watching this channel for years 😂 I was shocked how good it made me feel. The first few days I felt a little weak. When I feel hungry I drink water and green tea. My weight melted off. Bloating went away completely and I had noticeably better energy!
Gratz, how long did you fast?
I'm 66 yrs old and started intermittent fasting about 2 yrs ago. I generally fast 12-20 hours a day and feel better than I have in decades! More energy, stronger, almost zero arthritis pain. I will do intermittent fasting for the rest of my life. The first 2-3 weeks were the hardest but once you get past that, it becomes easy. BTW, I'm down 45 lbs. Only on one pharma med and I hope to be off that soon! I highly recommend intermittent fasting.
@@Hippy2021
Hello there ! my first ever fast ( cold turkey so to speak ) went for twenty one days ! On day five i experienced a profound sense of stoned ness and walked around for an hour looking at the world in a completely different way . Joy levels through the roof ! I drink soda water instead of water because I like the bubbles and you get enough salt ( so no headaches ). My last fast was thirty two days and I probably could have gone sixty days with no problems !!!
Please help me I wanna lose bloating and look slimmer
@@herbetrono4373 this is GREAT to read but PLEASE please please ALWAYS right that this must be done right by eating CORRECTING BEFORE, DRINKING SUITABLE LIQUIDS FOR ONE'S INDIVIDUAL DURING THE FAST, AND TO BREAK THE FAST! I have known of people fasting for a month to fit into a dress for a wedding or something, and then BREAKING that month long fast with CANDY BARS AND GORGING ON THE FOOD AT THE WEDDING OR PARTY (!!!) - AND THEN NEEDING THEIR STOMACH PUMPED IN A HOSPITAL! SO PLEASE ALWAYS INCLUDE THIS correct eating needed to do longer fasts. PLEASE. Also bubbles may suit you but may irritate someone else, salt can be added to whatever liquid(s) someone decides to drink during their fast. People need to learn to read their body's needs before, during and to end a fast. Not writing this to you to make you stop sharing, NOT at all, just asking you to ALSO include the info re properly eating, drinking during, and how to end a fast and restart eating --- to end a long 21 or 31 day fast one generally SHOULD NOT eat a full meal until a few days of small simple meals have passed (after ENDING the long fast).
When I recently did a 3 day water fast I could see the reduction in color or spots on my skin. I was really surprised how quickly my skin cleared up
whats water fast? Only drinking water without eating anything or just not drinking sugar drinks like cola?
@@gabbafreekil5237 a water fast is when you eat nothing and only drink water. Some people might add in supplements or wheat grass juice but definitely no food.
@@gabbafreekil5237 definitely not sugar drinks. Just water. Some people add salt & electrolytes to avoid weakness, ect.
I used to have a very big portion of brown color (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation??) on my foot after a healing wound for 2 years, anyway when I started fasting for a long time, like a whole day with one meal, or sometimes a little bit more, the brown color fade away)
You're the doctor that needed most at these times
Dr. Berg, can you please educate us viewers on healthy vs unhealthy sunscreen.
Great request 🙏
I use sesame oil. Works great, smells amazing
No sunscreen is healthy go carnivore and you'll never need sunscreen again cuz you'll never burn within reason of course
Plus you'll be able to absorb all the good vitamin D from the Sun that sunscreen blocks and you definitely need Vitamin D
No such thing as a healthy sunscreen.
This Explains why glutathione works to clear the skin…it’s an antioxidant too!
This was literally perfect timing, thank you!
Probably the best doctor on the internet!
Melhor explicação sobre Hiperpigmentação que já vi. Obrigada Dr Eric Berg
Sooo many years, approximately 20 years, I've searched for topical treatments to get rid of the hyperpigmentation on my face. Dark spots took over my face & so many products to combat were bought. I don't wear makeup so I couldn't & didn't want to mask it, I wanted them gone. Not until a few years ago when I began eating raw vegan food, just because I wanted to try something new to get healthier, did I notice an ENORMOUS change in my skin. It was glowing, smoother AND the dark spots disappeared. 😯 I couldn't believe it! The money & time I spent searching for a topical treatment could have gone to foods at my local farmer's market or grocery store. I'm not a vegan nor do I want to become one but I'm an 80%er. Lol. I'm so wowed by what these foods (and eliminating refined sugars, processed & GMO foods) are capable of doing to our bodies.
Yes! How much green vegetables do you have a day? And do you have homemade sauerkraut?
@@experimenthealthyketo83 I get most of my vegetables from the cold-pressed juices. I drink about 2 - 16oz bottles of green Blends daily along w/root or fruit blends. The 16oz bottles have about 5lbs of whatever fruits/veggies they put on the label.
Excellent, excellent, excellent! Of all the comments suggestions, yours makes the most sense to me! I've been leaning towards eating more salads, raw fruit. Your suggestion was a "bingo!" moment for me. Thanks for sharing!👍🏼
Never been explained in such an excellent way .Thank u doc 💗
Protein deficiency is a significant contributor. Whosoever you're reading my comment and having hyperpigmentation, just get enough protein for 2-3 months; you'll get results no matter how stubborn those marks are. Mine have been cured this way.
How much protein did you have daily?
Saba,.. I feel like I get adequate protein I eat several eggs for breakfast I have either steak or chicken or fish for supper I get protein in nuts. Why would I need to add even more protein. Then I would be overeating. How much protein are you talking about?
Wow , meaning the dark spots went away?
@@tamitatangoto5134 I will request you to calculate your daily protein intake and keep it at minimum limit
Orally or local applications?
OMG, this is why my husband has NO dark spots from the sun! He is in construction and is constantly all day in the sun but he has NO dark spots!!! NEVER uses sun screen, he hates sunscreen! I didn’t know how this was possible as the medical industry tells me the opposite! Now it all makes sense! Thank you Dr Berg! Excellent information!👍🏻
Tell me about it 🤬
its also to do with genetics and your lifestyle as a baby, my dad has never worn spf, is a heavy drinker and smoker but has the best skin of anyone i know in real life...as a kid he lived by the sea eating oysters and fresh fish everyday...he has better skin than all his children and even strangers comment on it
@@piedpiper1201 I think mental health has alot to do with it aswell. Nowadays theres so much external influence and factors in social media, screentime, technology et cetera. My skin used to be insanely vibrant and glowy, my entire family were always talking about how amazing I looked. Then I developed depression, anxiety, had a lot of stress etc and I started looking like SHIT. Acne, pigmentation, wrinkles etc. Btw back when my skin was amazing I used to eat complete garbage, now I eat way healthier and my skin is nothing like it used to be. Just saying in my experience nutrition isn’t necessarily the key factor.
Some people just have thicker collagen, thanks to their genetics. So bad sun habits will not show up as easily.
The sunscreen mafia now ruining my India.
Dr. Berg I have been listening to your amazing videos and information for many years, even before you had a million followers. I have been trying to spread your videos to anyone who will listen. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to educate us on subjects we can't get information anywhere else. Keep it up, we love you!!❤️
Yep, I do the same thing! I tell everyone about "MY" Dr. Berg!!! teehee.... gotta spread the best youtube channel!!!
@@suzieb4900 kkk(kklk(k
Only a few years for me. But I do the same thing. When the situation presents itself, I tell whoever it is where they can find everything they want to know about real health. They will discover true causes and remedies.
TH-cam - Dr Berg.
Like iceberg, but without the ice. That just rolled off the tongue when I was telling someone, and she later told me that that’s how she remembered when she got on TH-cam later. So, that’s what I’ve told people since.
I learned more in 6 minutes than I have in years. Wow! Thank you Dr.Berg
Thank you so much! I had been looking forward to this content since your mentioning of plans to take on this topic during the live event 2 days ago. I didn't expect such a speedy upload! Simply awesome!
I have watched several of your videos & am quickly becoming a fan. The way you explain things on the various topics is so thorough & easy to understand. Thank you.
M?mmm..m
Thank you for all the time and effort you put into your videos. It helps us understand in layman's terms what is going on and how to help ourselves.
Half of my face is full of spots and the other isn’t. It is very weird. I wasn’t born like that.. I’ve spent thousands on treatments, I’ve gone to dermatologist who didn’t help me. I contacted the Dr. Tv show. All they did was send me a coupon for face cream.. so I clicked here so fast soon as I seen the title! I love your videos and I am Here to learn lol
Are you using his data on Healthy Keto & intermittent fasting already? These will speed up the process.
Did it help?
Sharing doctor berg . 😊🙏your the one who helped me realize what we put in our body shows on the outside of our skin , and other parts of our body.
This is the best ever video I have watched about hyperpigmentation, what causes it and how to help myself. Thank you so much. 🙏🙏🙏
I wondered why my age spots lightened so much and even disappeared from my face even though I was in my seventies and rarely wore makeup anymore. Because of the pandemic, I had ncreased my Vit C and D and zinc. In addition, I added Quercetin and other supplements. I started squeezing lemon in my water in the morning, then rubbing the lemon on my face and hands. My age spots and other skin imperfections just started to disappear. I thought it was because I retired and had less stress.
Thanks so much for sharing. I'm going to try using lemon too for dark spots on my face. I don't want to spend the better part of $100 on a commercial dark spot remover.
Lemon on face is really bag.
@@sszahid758 What? I've been putting lemon on my face for a long time. I'm in n my seventies and have no wrinkles. I get mistaken for being in my early forties., and sometimes even younger. I also eat right, exercise, and take care of myself. I also taught biology and health for many years. Do some research, and definitely use lemon in your drinks and on your skin.
You break things down so simple. I wish you could be my Biology Teacher.. or any science for that matter. Thank you! ❤
I've started getting these spots on my arms. I swear I've just woken up and I was thinking about what they actually are and I turned on TH-cam and this video was right there in my recommended. Unbelievable!
I'm amazed at ALL comments being positive and "praises. And same kind of vibe, expressions, words etc that they seem to be scripted 😟
How come no negative comments?
No simple "thank you dr"
Dr. Berg in the late videos you look younger, your skin looks very healthy. Great information in this video
rubbing cucumber slices worked for me to fade acne scars
Whoa! Here's a video that everyone should listen to! I can tell simply from the title! Thank you Dr. Berg!
This man have made me feel in love with my melanin
I started intermittent fasting (time restricted eating) about 18 months ago and noticed a reduction in hyperpigmentation and complete disappearance of skin tags (as well as losing 60kg!). I put the benefit down to reduced baseline insulin levels.
How long did u fast
Skin tags are caused by insulin resistance
@@LilwickedXxx3 days once a month or 2 a month
Thank you, Dr. Berg, for being a superb health coach!
Sir the way you explain things. it's so so incredible. Thank you
This is my favourite health channel. Thank you Dr Berg, the legend! ❤
Thank you so very much Dr Berg. I truly appreciate all your efforts in educating us on all these health topics. This video is very personal to me so much appreciated. ❤️
Thank You Dr. Berg!!!💞 You have no idea how much your information and advice helps💞
This man is a genius
Well being black, my melanin is here to stay but it’s good to know ways to lower hyperpigmentation.
Excellent video, per usual, thank you Dr berg for simple, informative vids we all can follow
Avoiding stress is almost impossible
I'm always adding and changing my diet thank you your influence is a hugely positive and you don't disappoint.
Thank you sir. I did what you said for age spots and I can see a definite difference for the better. Bless you. I feel so happy.
Would love to see more content on skincare ingredients and ways to take care of skin topically
Hi Dr. Berg, I've been dealing with hyperpigmentation on my chin area for about 3 years, thank you for your help with this topic. I've been so laser focused on the outside, now I'll focus on the internal as well. Thank you, thank you!
please, try tranaxemic acid pill for three monthes .do not use hydroquinon and other creams , they are temporarily solutions and high likely of relapse...from my experience .
Don't say thanks before you have tried it out. It doesn't work!
@@Ciguatera exactly. 6 years doing all this has got me worse skin. melasma is not curable
How yours melsma now any changes
Here is my situation. As a 70+ year old I am covered with age spots. Eat a healthy diet, have always been an outdoors person and no sunscreen till recent years. My husband eats what I eat. We take the same supplements and a lot of those. He has no age spots at all and he’s outdoors even more than I. I have used chemical free serums and creams. Have not found anything that helps.
the best on all the interwebs and probably all doctors.
Very informative video. Seems like people with brown and dark black skin are actually blessed in natural environment.
Thank you as always. Watching now.
thank you! Also astaxanthin helps to protect your skin from harmful UVA rays UVA (A) stands for = Aging, UVB (B) stands for = Burning (makes your skin tan)
Dr Berg!!!!! You have just answered my question of why I have so many spots that have popped up within this last year. Stress!!! I've been under alot of stress this past year. I haven't been in the Sun,no vacations this year. I knew it wasn't just genetics. I will definitely focus on my nutrition to help improve and reduce/eliminate the ones that are there.
Please keep making videos doc. I really love the way you explain things.. The best...
Love your videos…I’m 75 years old ( 126 lbs) and always been a bit of a healthy eater…plus I fast everyday…and I push myself to exercise everyday…I’m a crazy gardener and I can plank 1 1/2 minutes…I could plank two minutes but my dog tripped me and I broke my foot…slowed me down some …love this show cause I do have age spots so this is great…FYI I’m now going to start eating more Eggs…it must be good cause you do it …I love fried eggs on fresh spinach with green onions …sometimes I use a little Bacon on it ( sorry about that) anyway thanks so much for your very informative and helpful videos…🙏🏻💕🙏🏻 Blessimgs
Why being sorry about eating bacon? He made videos on how helpful this is.
Sometimes I'm surprised....but mostly....not at the scope of knowledge you bring to the table on these topics. Boy wouldn't it be nice...to say..." In going to see my Primary care doctor today" , and that doctor..would be Dr. Berg...! Endless appreciation for your passion in all topics...of medical knowledge and sharing it with us..! Great video...🙏
😂😂😂 srry, 1 year later reply. 😬 remember what you said last year.... just a reminder to get your vitamin d and zinc. 😂
Hi, I always love watching your videos. They are so educational. You spend a great deal of time preparing and researching which shows in your videos.
Once I start watching I have to force myself to stop otherwise I could end up watching for a long time and won't get any work done. I have to catch up on lots of your videos. They are amazing!!
Thank you for all the hard work you put in to help the general public in a nice entertaining and simple way.
I don’t usually comment but I felt I had to, just to say a big THANK YOU!!
I really needed this video... I knew my diet has something to do with my skin. Thanks for the video
I have recurring skin cancers and so I have to be very observant of my age spots and dark spots and before they develop into something more serious. Thank you for this video, I am taking all the information in and educating myself on my bodies needs in this area.
Look up coconut oil and bicarbonate of soda for the recurring skin c, it heals it fast in many people
Are you against sunscreen use too?
Thank You Dr. Berg Always edifying informations in your Videos. Greatly appreciated🙏🏼👍🏼♥️🇸🇪
This is excellent to understand! Finally someone explains it properly. Thank you so much!
You're welcome! I'm glad I could help you understand.
Hi, Dr. Eric! Thanks for sharing. I really learned a lot from you.
Thank you for sharing ! Can you please talk about the connection of melasma and hormones?
Thank you 🙏🏽
Thank you for another great video and helpful information.
Have a great day!!!!!!
Thank you for educating, you are meeting your true calling to heal🙏👏
Finally, I got an answer why when I got injured or wounds leave dark spots that stay for months till they fade away.
I'm taking estrogen.
Hi Dr. Berg, Your videos are so informative. Thanks a lot! Can you please educate on how to treat hypertrophic scars? Would be a great help!
Don't have them yet, but thank you for the info Dr Berg 🌸.
Thank you for fulfilling my request. Very good video.

Wow timely!
Was looking yesterday for treatments.

The only thing is some of my spots are also in place. Where I never get sun.
Dr Berg thanks for the teaching.
I have been waiting for this yay
Thanks Dr Berg. I spend lots on whitening cream/lotions/serum and facials to remove age spots and it was hopeless. Your teachings opened up my understanding of age spots and will put into practice.
Me too 😁
Me too😢
So, his teachings changed your skin after putting this into practice?
This was very informative, thank you Dr Berg. Hyperpigmentation is one of the most common medical problems that people in general face. Sandalwood has a wide range of medicinal properties and therefore, it is often used as a home remedy for many skin conditions.
I just noticed the dark spots on my hand ... your video shows up😳
Thank you very much for educating us Dr
Great to know… thank you, Dr. Berg, for all your effort to educate us for free 😍😍

I was looking to remove dark spot around my neck yesterday I was told it will cost me 350 dollar. Thanks Dr. Berg You saved me 350 dollar.
*Platinum Skincare* has products that work for that. Not expensive either. It really worked for me.
Always use a sunblock! I forgot to add that.
@@LDiamondz which product of platinum that works for you . Thank you
@@katrinanguyen5489 Fade Bright worked well for me. They also have peels that you can do yourself, that really transform your skin. They have a website and a yt channel. Their products did wonders for my hyperpigmentation and dull, yellowing skin.
@@LDiamondz wonderful, I will give it a try
@@LDiamondz Wow read your comment and became interested. I suffer with pcos and it caused hyperpigmentation on the left side of my face. Would this product work for me?
Great info, thanks! 👍
Thanks doctor for ur nice informative discussion. It is very helpful for ladies who are suffering from skin problems. U are great.

Fasting and covering, as a muslim thats already addressed. The other things that are important is less stress, sugar and increase anti oxidant rich foods.
Thanks Dr Berg.
You always told use full information about any issue carry on like this videos God bless u😊
What to do about the issue starts at 5.02. Great video once again thank you 🙏
Hey Dr. Berg. Thanks for the useful information. I was wondering if you could do a video on hemoseridin staining after bruising ( specifically the under eye)
I had horrible melasma in my 30’s and 40’s due to estrogen/pregnancy. But now it’s totally gone in my early 50’s thanks to less estrogen in menopause. Hang in there, it does go away!
Omg! This makes me have hope!
I needed this encouragement Thank you!! I have horrible melasma at 53 and it seems it’s like a hopeless situation but you made my day!😊
I am also suffering from melasma. What are your skin regimen?
Less or non existent estrogen in menopause means greater risk of osteoporosis, heart attacks and Alzheimers for us women. It’s our fountain of youth. I have melasma for decades from the pill in my 20s to early 30s. I hate it but am going to start on hrt now I’m in my 50s. It’s going to make my melasma worse I know. But to me the benefits outweigh the risks including melasma
It goes away if it is hormonal, not as easily if it’s from sun damage. Also, Dermal melasma is very difficult to treat.
This was very very informative video, Thank you Dr for continously taking efforts in educating people to lead a better life style.
great you high light the common but serious deceases and tell us the proper cure that has no side effects you are amazing.thanks allot.
