Who doesn't love a nice day at the beach or a dip in the pool on a hot summer day? You may even leave the beach with a nice tan. Chances are you have come to pay for all those hours spent with your skin exposed to the sun. Age spots (Lentigines) and Freckles (Ephelides) are tan, brown, or black spots that appear over time on sun exposed areas of skin. These spots are common on the backs of the hand, face, and legs.
Age spots are superficial collections of skin pigment called melanin which have accumulated within the top layer of skin. Freckles are common in lighter skin types that sunburn easily. The best tip is to use sunscreen and clothing to prevent age spots and freckles from ever occurring, but there are ways to treat these discolorations and pigmentations already on your skin.
