Age spots natural remedies 

Age spots, also sometimes known as sun spots or liver spots, are mostly harmless except for the fact that they can reveal your age. However, when they first appear, it is essential that you get them checked out by a doctor to make certain that they are age spots and not a sign of something more dangerous such as skin cancer. Age spots can appear as early as age 40. As a preventive measure, always wear sunscreen while going out of the house.




A very good way to lighten age spots is to rub aloe vera gel on them at least twice a day and leave it on. Alternatively, you can also drink aloe juice. This will have a similar effect.


You can also rub castor oil on age spots to help fade them over time. Lime juice is also as effective, since it contains natural bleach which will get rid of surface discoloration. You can chop a tomato into two and rub the halves vigorously over the spots to make them appear lighter and cleaner. This is not a remedy that will make them disappear, however. They will be considerably lightened. Try applying apple cider vinegar mixed with equal quantities of freshly removed onion juice to help.
