Dark sun spots on your face go by many names, including age spots, liver spots and solar lentigines. According to the Mayo Clinic, these spots are harmless and don't require medical treatment, although you should always have a doctor look at any changes in your skin. As you use these natural remedies to lighten your sun spots, also apply sunscreen regularly and avoid direct exposure to sunlight. This will help prevent further spots from developing. The results of any home remedy will vary from person to person. Try each remedy for a month before switching.
