Rub fresh aloe vera juice or gel on the spots. It will help fade them. Use the gel twice a day for a month or two. Juice from the aloe plant is excellent for healing burns and is also beneficial as a general healing agent. Take fresh or canned chick peas (garbanzo beans), mash about 1/3 cupful and add a little water. Smear this paste on the spots and leave it there until it dries. Then wash off completely. Do this every evening. Apply vitamin E oil directly to age spots daily to reduce coloration of age spots Another mineral supplement to take is zinc. Take 15 mg a day for one to two months. Don't take more than 15 mg without a doctor's supervision, as it may hinder the body's absorption of other minerals, especially copper. Bilberry herb slows some of the aging processes and acts as an antioxidant. Take 4-8 oz. of fresh berries or 80-160 mg of bilberry extract. Dab some fresh lemon juice on the spots twice daily. If you are going outdoors, wait for the juice to dry as it increases the skin's sensitivity to sunlight. It may take a few months, but the acidity in the juice will cause the spots to fade away.

Dab fresh lemon juice on your skin to lighten the spots. Leave it on for 20 mins and then wash it off.
Then mix aloe juice with ? the amount of vitamin E. Vitamin E is a good moisturizer. Dab this on the tan especially if it due to the sun.
Rubbing the inside of a slice of watermelon is good for lightening tanned spots though it may not give instant results.
If these sun spots are freckles, try to stay away from sun exposure as far as possible. Take precautions by using a sunscreen even indoors. Wear a hat, scarf or use an umbrella when you are outdoors to keep out the sun as much as possible. Freckles are hard to get rid off because they arise when a light skinned person who has less melanin (skin pigment) is exposed to uv rays of the sun. So instead of getting an even suntan, they sometimes get freckles due to the less melanin skin pigment. You may notice that they disappear in winter and come back in summer. But freckles are often permanent.
