Overview
Age spots on your face are brown areas, generally larger than freckles, and are typically harmless, according to the National Institutes of Health. They occur as a result of exposure to the sun over a long period of time and are the normal part of aging, especially if you are older than 40 years. Age spots are frequently cosmetically unattractive, but you can fade them with a variety of treatments at home. Common treatments for age spots include lemon juice, borax and avoiding the sun.
Step 1
Obtain borax from a store that sells cleaning supplies. Buy pure glycerin from a pharmacy. Mix 2 tsp. of glycerin, 1 tsp. of borax and ¾ of a cup of water, according to the Bliss Plan website. Pour this mixture into a jar; let it stand for a day. Stir the mixture thoroughly, and allow it to remain undisturbed for another day. Dip the tip of a cotton swab into this mixture. Apply it to your age spots. Allow the mixture and to dry on your face and stay for 10 to 15 minutes before removing it with soap and warm water.
Step 2
Squeeze the juice from a fresh lemon into a bowl. Add 4 parts water for each part of lemon juice. Stir this mixture thoroughly to obtain a solution of diluted lemon juice. Apply the lemon juice to your age spots with the tip of a cotton swab. Keep the lemon juice on your age spots for 10 to 15 minutes per day. Remove the lemon juice from your face with soap and warm water.
