Age spots natural remedies Age spots are not a health problem, but some people who have age spots are troubled by their appearance, particularly if the spots are particularly dark and large. The best way to get rid of age spots is to avoid excessive exposure to sunlight. Although age spots are sometimes called liver spots, they are not caused by any liver problem nor do they affect the liver; rather, they are caused by excessive exposure to the sun, which is why they most commonly appear on the face and hands.
There are some cosmetic and medical procedures that are available to get rid of sun spots, but these are usually unnecessary and are not worth the expense and pain. Treatments include bleaching creams, laser therapy, cryotherapy, and dermabrasion. If you like, you can discuss these possibilities with your doctor or visit a dermatologist.
A better option will be to use some home remedies and limit your exposure to the sun. This will be much slower of course, but will hardly cost you anything and is completely safe. Using a sunscreen and avoiding the sun whenever possible are essential, but you can also regularly apply vitamin E oil and aloe gel to lighten the spots. Rubbing a cut lemon on your face and hands will also help, as will applying potato juice or slices of potato.
