Age spots on skin? what exactly are age spots?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Age spots: The term ‘age spots’, or lentigines, refers to the brownish spots that, over time appear on your face and body as a result of overexposure to the sun. As we age our skin is subjected to more and more sun damage.

Caused By Sun: Age spots are actually caused by the sun (not age). So, the best way to reduce them is to avoid sun exposure. Daily use of a sunscreen with spf 30 or higher is required (at a minimum). If you work or play outside for more than 2 hours, re-application of the sunscreen is essential.
