Brown spots on the face are known as liver spots and are caused by sun exposure, according to the Mayo Clinic website. Although they are common among the elderly, younger people also can suffer from them. Most brown spots are harmless; however, if they bother you, they can be removed at home or in a doctor's office. To avoid more brown spots from forming, use sunscreen whenever you're outdoors. Consult a skin care professional about any home remedies you're considering.
Lemon Juice
Lemon juice is touted for its ability to help diminish the appearance of brown spots. Squeeze lemon juice and apply it using a cotton ball or your fingertips. Leave it on for 20 to 30 minutes before rinsing. It may take several applications to fade the spots as much as you want, but lemon juice is natural and harmless to apply directly to your skin.
Apple Cider Vinegar
HomeRemediesWeb.com recommends a mixture of apple cider vinegar and onion juice to remove dark spots from the face. Finely chop an onion or run it through the blender. Strain the pulp to get the juice. Mix equal parts onion juice with apple cider vinegar. Using a cotton ball or your fingertips, apply it to the spots. Leave it on your face for 30 minutes and rinse. You should notice the spots fade in six weeks. This process is safe to continue for as long as it takes to fade the spots.
Aloe Vera
Fresh aloe vera gel or a gel from the drugstore may help fade the brown age spots from your face. After you break off the leaf, rub it on the discolored parts of your face. Repeat this process twice a day and leave it on for about 45 minutes before rinsing. You should see some significant fading in about a month.
Almond and Egg
Grind a couple of almonds and mix it with one egg white. Add a few drops of lime juice and mix well. Apply this mixture in a thin layer over your face and leave it on until it dries. Rinse it with warm water followed by a cold water rinse.
Buttermilk
Pour some buttermilk into a small bowl. Using a cotton ball, dab buttermilk on the spot. Leave it on for 30 minutes, then rinse. You may repeat this process as often as you want.
