What can cause the appearance of age spots?
In case you aren’t an older person and you still have brown spots, they can also appear because of UV rays and too much exposure to direct sunlight. It’s very important that you have a good UV protection on you or use a safe tanning bed.
Melanin appears in our body faster the more we stay out in the sun. This is what makes our skin darker and with brown color.
If you have brown spots on some areas, it will mean that the melanin has reacted the most in those areas.
