Age spots, also known as liver spots or sun spots, are flat, brown, or grayish patches that appear on sun-exposed areas of the skin over time. While they’re usually harmless, many people seek ways to fade these spots and achieve a more even complexion.
The good news? With the right safe, dermatologist-approved strategies, you can minimize the appearance of age spots and brighten your skin without harsh treatments or risky procedures.
