Getting rid of age spots may seem like a daunting task. Whether you call them age spots, liver spots, solar lentigines, or senile lentigines, those brown marks are a common problem as we age. Skin damage from sun exposure will make those spots appear seemingly out of nowhere, and getting rid of age spots becomes a top priority for anyone concerned with aging. Before you run out and buy the most expensive treatment, consider your options.

• 
  Stay out of the sun. This may seem like a given, but sun exposure increases melanin, a pigment in the skin. Pigmentation's main function is to protect our skin from the sun, and age spots are a result of the body's ability to protect itself. Never go outside without wearing sunscreen or SPF moisturizer.
  
• 
  Be patient. Natural beauty products that will reduce the appearance of age spots generally take longer than prescription or popular over-the-counter beauty aids. Your skin didn't create age spots overnight, so neither should you expect to cure them that way.
  
• 
  Use a natural age spot remover. Natural beauty products are free from damaging fragrances, parabens, alcohols, and mineral oil. Look for a product that contains natural ingredients like Vitamin E, CoQ10, grapeseed oil, tea tree, Xtend-TK, phytessence wakame, and aloe vera. Your skin will thank you for choosing a more natural option.
  
• 
  Don't buy just any CoQ10. Most of the products on the market today contain some form of CoQ10, otherwise known as Coenzyme Q10. It's become so popular in recent years that you can't see a beauty commercial on television that doesn't boast of its healing properties. But many of the commercial products containing CoQ10 also contain harmful ingredients that can irritate and damage your skin. Although you may see immediate or fast results with commercial products, the underlying damage may not become apparent for long after you stop using the product. Treat your skin with only the most natural CoQ10 by buying a product that combines it with natural ingredients. Anyone getting rid of age spots will see results, although it may take a little time.
  

Getting rid of age spots is quite simple once you're armed with the knowledge to approach the problem. Select the product you're most drawn to and give it a try, keeping in mind that you should consult your doctor if your age spots darken, change color, or bleed at any time as this could indicate cancer.
