Sun Spots or Age Spots

What Causes Sun Spots and Age Spots?

Skin pigmentation cells can bunch together, which is why sun spots look like freckles rather than resembling even, tanned skin.

The development of sun spots is most common in light-skinned individuals, especially those who have a history of frequent sun exposure.

Sun Spot and Age Spot Prevention

To protect your skin from developing sun spots, it’s a good idea to avoid excessive sun exposure. When spending time outside, take precautions:

• Wear sunscreen
• Put on a sun hat to protect your face, head, and neck from sun exposure
• Wear a thin, long-sleeved shirt to keep your arms covered
• Try breathable, long pants to protect your legs
• Limit the time you spend in direct sunlight
• Age Spot / Sun Spot Treatment
