ages spots those little brown spots on the face and hands starts to show themselves around the age of 40 aren,t caused by age at all.they are caused by the sun (exposure)to ultraviolets rays stimulates melanin a coloring pigment in the skin that also cause a tan.over time,permanent clusters of melanin appear on areas repeatly exposedto the sun like your face and hands.to erase age spots ,dad on some lemon juice.it has citric acid an alpha hydropy acid found in may antiaging creams.loosen dead skin and accelerate your skin so it can regenerate new skin over time.

Thanks for sharing this information. I live in a country when I am exposed to sunlight especially in summer. Your information might come really handy later one. © ronaldinu 2008

That is a good tip there, I am not sure if age spots are the same thing that some people call liver spots, they call them that because from what I believe the spots are cause from the liver, I am not sure if they are the same though maybe someone can enlighten us...
