Things You'll Need:
- Sunscreen Suntan Lotion
- Fade cream
-
Step 1
Prevent them from getting worse by using a sunscreen when you go out, paying particular attention to your face and hands. Make sure you choose a sunscreen that blocks UVA and UVB rays and has an SPF of at least 15. Age spots are caused by a lifetime of exposure to the sun, so you can stop them from getting worse by covering up.
-
Step 2
Wear a long-sleeved shirt and wide-brimmed hat when you know you'll be in the sun.
-
Step 3
Use an alpha-hydroxy cleanser and lotion on areas of the skin that have age spots. It helps to fade them.
-
Step 4
Apply a fade cream like Esoterica or Ambi to the skin at night. They help to restore skin to a uniform color. The prescription medication Retin-A works like a fade cream on age spots.
-
Step 5
Have a dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon remove them with a laser if nothing else works.

on 7/16/2008 Laser treatement by a dermatologist is the fastest way to get rid of these spots but don't waste your money on it if you are unwilling to wear sunblock every day on your face and hands afterward. (You'll just get new spots.) A cheaper way to get rid of them, albeit slower, is to use a fading cream. Currently the best cream to get rid of age spots is Tri-Luma, which is available in a generic version to save money. This cream contains 4% hydroquinone (you can only get 2% strength without a prescription), plus Retin-A (generic name is tretinoin) and a steroid to reduce the harsh effects of the Retin A (redness, peeling.) I wouldn't waste my money on any store or internet product. As for the UK banning hydroquinone, there's nothing to be alarmed at with this ingredient. The only ill effects known to have occured have been with high doses to which people were exposed in industrial setti

on 6/30/2006 Liver spots are brownish, yellowish blemishes which are often first noticed on the arms and hands, then the face. They can also appear on the chest, back, and less frequently, the legs and torso.
Liver spots are a result of the skin trying to protect itself from sun exposure by producing an overabundance of melanin, the pigment in your skin. However, it's worth being aware that they can be brought on or increased by bad health, or problems with the liver functions.
