We all have brown spots, otherwise known as age spots, somewhere on our skin. Whether it’s on your face, legs, arms, shoulders, or hands, you’ll be able to find brown spots somewhere on your body.

But where do brown spots come from? Is there a way to stop them before you even have to resort to this two-ingredient solution?
Absolutely. Read on to learn why you have so many age spots, if they can be dangerous to your health, and other ways to remove and prevent them.
Why Do We Get Age Spots?
There are a few reason you have these brown spots on your skin, the first and foremost reason being over-exposure to sunlight and UV rays. This can be either from spending a lot of time outside (especially without wearing sunscreen) or from spending time in tanning beds, which give intense UV exposure.
The more sunlight and UV rays we’re exposed to, the more quickly the process of melanin occurs in our bodies. Melanin is our bodies’ natural response to sunlight, and is responsible for the tanning and darkening of our skin.
Over the years, our beach tans will fade, but areas of our body that have been seriously exposed to UV rays over the years will retain some brown splotches. This means the melanin was overactive in these areas, resulting in unsightly age spots.
