Natural health: How can I remove liver spots from my hands?  

Some topical solutions can help lighten the skin, but age spots can not typically be reversed. Prevention through the use of a mineral-based sunscreen will help to minimise existing spots and the development of new ones.

The term ‘liver spots’ is a misnomer since these flat brown or black patches of discolouration that form on our skin as we age have nothing to do with liver health.

I’m in my early 50s and have started to get liver spots on the back of my hands. Is there anything I can use to remove or lighten them?

The term ‘liver spots’ is a misnomer since these flat brown or black patches of discolouration that form on our skin as we age have nothing to do with liver health. They are generally a result of exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays over time, which is why they appear as we age.
