Can You Prevent Age Spots?
Yes and no! Unless we confine ourselves to our homes forever (which we do not suggest…at all), we are going to be exposed to the sun one way or another.
The best thing to do to avoid rampant, large, or dangerous age spots is to be aware of how much time we spend outside. Cover up with long-sleeved shirts and long pants whenever possible and ALWAYS, ALWAYS wear sunscreen.
Even in the winter. Even if you’re just running outside for a minute. WEAR SUNSCREEN.
Also, stay away from strong UV lights, like in tanning beds. These beds, while they give you the tan you crave, are nothing but severely harmful to your skin.
And, as always, if you have any concerning age spots, make sure to bring them to your doctor right away. Stay protected and stay smart about your brown spots!
