Age spots are large darker spots on your skin which can be brown, gray or almost black. They resemble a very overgrown freckle. Many people refer to them as Liver Spots, although they have nothing to do with your liver. Age spots are commonly seen on your hands and face and arms. Age spots really don’t have much to do with age either, they are the result of years of your skin’s exposure to the sun. Always have any discolored areas of skin checked by your doctor before proceeding with any type of treatment. While age spots are usually harmless, it’s always best to check.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Remove the juice from 1 or 2 onions. Use a press or place onions in a food processor or blender then pour through a sieve to remove any large pieces.

  2. Step 2

    To a clean, glass jar add ¼ of a cup of onion juice and ½ of a cup of white vinegar.

  3. Step 3

    Mix both ingredients well and allow to sit for approximately 10 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Dip a cotton swab or sterile gauze pad into the mixture.

  5. Step 5

    Apply mixture directly to the Age Spots. Repeat twice a day. You may feel a slight tingling sensation.

  6. Step 6

    Before bed, pierce 1 Vitamin E capsule and squeeze out the oil. Apply the Vitamin E oil directly into the Age Spot(s). Massage the Vitamin E Oil into the Age Spot and area around it.

  7. Step 7

    Repeat this process until the Age Spots have disappeared. This can take a few weeks.
