Age Spots
Even with responsible sun protection, a lifetime of exposure to the sun’s UV rays can cause age spots (also called sun spots or liver spots). These spots are flat brown, dark brown or black areas of hyperpigmentation on the skin. Because age spots are caused by UV exposure, they tend to appear on skin that has been exposed to the sun frequently, including the face, neck, chest, arms and hands. Fortunately, you can prevent and treat age spots to restore clarity to your complexion at any age.
