Age spots are nothing but sun spots. They
are caused by being out in the sun, on
sun-exposed skin areas, usually, areas not
protected with sunscreen (on the forehead
and the back of the hands and arms)
Your mum, needs to apply good-quality
sunscreen of at least SPF 15 to keep them
from darkening and will help prevent new
ones.
The juice of a fresh lemon rubbed on with
a cotton ball twice daily where the age
spots are, in six to eight weeks, will
cause to begin to fade away.
Rubbing a piece of sliced red onion has
the same effect like lemon juice since has
the same peeling acid as fresh lemon
juice.
These spots are harmless, but if your mum
notice an increase in size or "bizarre"
color changes, she'll need to see her
doctor immediately.
