Those little brown spots on your hands and face can feel like they appear overnight. Most people spend a fortune trying to erase them but few realize the fix might already be sitting in their kitchen. Age spots, also known as liver spots or sun spots, are harmless flat brown marks that show up where the skin gets the most sunlight the hands, arms, shoulders, and face. They’re a normal sign of sun exposure and aging, but that doesn’t make them welcome.
Why they appear
Over time, ultraviolet (UV) light triggers your skin to produce extra pigment as protection. That pigment collects in tiny patches and slowly darkens. Factors like genetics, hormones, or tanning beds can make the process faster. Typical signs include:

- Appearing in groups on sun-exposed areas
- Gradually increasing in number with age
