Moreover, applying a sunscreen lotion daily will help you prevent the appearance of fade dark, age, and liver spots. Also, it's very important to protect your skin from sun exposure. Wear a wide-brimmed hat and tops with long sleeves.

If you plan to spend most of the day outdoors, use a more powerful cream. And because water and sweat can remove the cream, make sure you apply it regularly.

Castor oil proved to be extremely beneficial for people with bladder and vaginal infections, age spots, hyperactivity, hepatitis, upper respiratory infections, sebaceous cysts, alopecia, abdominal stretch marks and skin keratosis. Apply castor oil on the spots in the morning and in the evening.
Creams with retinol, a derivative of vitamin A, are can be used to reduce age spots intensity. These creams stimulate the development of new skin cells. For a stronger effect, mix them with bleaching solutions such as hydroquinone. The disadvantage is given by the fact that retinol may have an aggressive effect on certain types of skin (darker skin tones). If a hydroquinone formula is used, it is imperative that the treated area is completely protected from the sun.
Make sure you follow a healthy diet rich in fruits, seeds, whole grains and green vegetables. This will help you fade age spots and reduce hyperpigmentation. Drink plenty of water throughout the day and eat foods containing glycolic and citric acids, vitamins C and PP and beta-carotene.
Eat tomatoes, peaches, strawberry, raspberry, peas, cucumbers, lemons, peaches, apples, grapes, plums, apricots and eggplant. Grapefruits, papaya and pineapples contain a significant amount of glycolic acid- an effective depigmentant.
