How To Get Rid of Liver Spot (Age Spots ) on Hands

s we age, our hands may develop liver spots (or "age spots"), which are blemishes typically caused by overexposure to damaging UV rays from the sun.

Liver spots can be removed by lasers in a doctor's office. To prevent liver spots, use hand creams with SPF protection. Your hands will give away your age as you get older, even if your face is as lineless as that of a 20-year-old's.

Great hand lotions with SPF protection include Ole Henriksen Hands Forward SPF 15. It contains kojic acid, which prevents brown spots.

Another great option is Kiehl's Creme de Corps, which is SPF 30.

Here's a list of hand creams with SPF from $5 to upwards of $30.

Self-Tanners and Age Spots on Skin

Whenever I write anything about self-tanners, I get a flurry of emails from readers wondering how the self-tanner will affect their age spots.

According to editor Valerie Monroe, in the July, 2007, issue of "O the Oprah Magazine," if you have hyperpigmentation (dark spots), you should avoid self-tanners, which tend to darken age spots. If you have hypopigmentation --or light age spots -- tanner will help even out your skin tone.

Age spots are caused by sun damage. According to Monroe, you can treat them by applying a topical prescription bleaching agent like Solage, have them removed with a chemical peel or treat them with laser OR intense pulsed light (IPL) treatments.
