Age spots are harmless and unappealing dark spots that occur on the forehead and the back of neck, feet, hands, and arms. These spots occur in people who are at the wrong side of 50 and also those who have an overexposure to the sun. Though age spots mostly occur in people who have left their middle-age behind, they are more of a sign of overexposure to sun, than an indicator of age. Age spots can, therefore, be considered as ‘adult freckles' that rarely appear before middle age. However, these dark, blotchy spots can be a concern for people, because not only are they ugly and scary looking, but also give you an unglamorous look by marring your skin. What usually happens is that, due to age, your skin loses its strength to recover from sun damage and this results in the proliferation of spots. This is more serious in people with fair skin. So, appropriate remedies must be taken to counter these spots. To help you in this regard, we have listed some useful tips on how to avoid age spots. Tips To Prevent Age Spots Lemon Juice
