Your spots are probably age spots, age spots (also called liver spots or solar lentigo) are collections of pigment caused by exposure to the sun. They also sometimes result from bruising that leaves blood pigments behind. They are most common in people over age 55. The spots commonly appear on the hands but can occur almost anywhere you have sun-exposed areas such as the face, back, arms, feet, shoulders and face.
To deminish the apperance of age spots, apply vitamin E oil directly to age spots daily and this will help reduce the coloration of the age spots.

The brown spots could be anything from freckles or moles or even tinea versicolor. You have to first identify what they are.
If these spots are freckles, here is an article you can read to find out preventive measures and natural home treatments or freckles remedies. If these spots are moles, mix castor oil and baking soda to make a paste. Soak a gauze with this paste and tape it over the mole and leave overnight. If you are unable to identify what these brown spots are, consult a dermatologist (skin specialist).
