Age spots or pigmentation appear on the most visible and exposed areas of our body such as our face, back, neck, chest, shoulders, and hands. They are usually harmless, but many of us want to get rid of them because they give our skin an unattractive look.
Sun exposure, aging, genetics and many other factors like stress, pregnancy, birth control pills, vitamin deficiencies or a weak liver are all possible factors that contribute to this problem. So make sure to wear sunblock when you go out, get your stress under control, and make sure to meet your daily need of vitamins and minerals to avoid them from appearing in the first place.
