Age spots are browning or colored spots that can appear on your skin after
long periods of time exposed to the sun or UV rays. As we age our skin is
subjected to more and more sun damage. Our skin has what is called ‘melanin
pigment’ which absorbs sunlight and helps naturally protect our skin from UV
rays. However as we age, our skin's natural ability to fend off UV rays from the
sun begins to deteriorate. As a result, we see the development of age
spots. |
