Prevention is Possible
Preventing age spots requires sun avoidance and sun protection. Most of the sun damage we receive occurs while we are driving. Car window glass protects us from 100% of the UVA light (the light which causes a burn) but none of the UVB, the light responsible for sun damage and aging skin. I advise all of my patients to have UVB-protecting film installed on their car windows. This may be tinted or clear. This will help prevent much of the sun damage which causes age, liver, or brown spots.
Sunscreen All Day, Every Day
The second thing I recommend is to wear sunscreen ALL THE TIME. Even if you already have sun damaged skin, it’s never too late to start. This will help prevent further damage and age spotting.
