Melanin is the natural pigment that determines skin color. Over the years, aging, insufficient sun protection, and long-term UV exposure can throw off this natural pigmentation, causing uneven skin tone and dark spots.
These spots frequently show up on the face and hands. While older adults are more prone to them, anyone can be affected. The following remedies offer natural ways to help prevent and minimize them.
