II. Age Spots Prevention:
The only way to prevent age spots is to use liberal amounts of sunscreen before the age of forty, avoid the sun, and wear protective clothing. These measures will also help prevent the formation of skin cancer and wrinkles.
While age spots are largely unavoidable, you can help reduce them by avoiding prolonged exposure to the sun and by protecting your skin with sunscreens when you are in the sun. Yesterday's beach goddess tan is tomorrow's blight of brown spots and leathery skin -- or worse, skin cancer.
