Brown spots begin appearing on the face due to age or liver issues. Also known as solar lentigines, these spots normally start arising after the age of 50 on fair skinned people. Excessive exposure to the sun can lead to an increase in these spots. With the help of a few home remedies, you can get rid of brown spots on the face.

 

  • Use lemon juice to fade the spots. Lemon juice is acidic and breaks down the melanin pigment in these spots within a months usage. Vitamin C in lemons act as bleaching agents. Cut a lemon in halves and apply directly to the face. Leave the juice on for 30 minutes.
