If you are of \u201ca certain age\u201d you probably have a few liver spots, age spots or sun spots on your face or hands. The fancy name for these is Solar Lentigines. Regardless of their name, when they appear as spots on your hands and face, they can give away your age.<\/p>\n
Dark spots on your skin are collections of pigment (melanin) that appear after cumulative exposure to the sun\u2019s UV and UVB light. This is why they most commonly appear on your face and hands. There are subtle differences, however. Freckles, which are also common, may have a genetic component, but like the other spots, they are most often caused by time in the sun, and they usually darken and multiply with increased exposure. Solar lentigines aren\u2019t typically genetic. But they do tend to become more prominent with age and additional sun exposure, giving them the name \u201cage spots.\u201d<\/p>\n
