The appearance of spots on the hands is a common phenomenon caused by the passage of time, daily stress, an unbalanced diet, and especially by sun exposure, which penetrates deep into the skin and accelerates the loss of collagen and elasticity.
The skin becomes thinner, less firm, and prone to discoloration such as age spots. These spots, also called lentigines, develop when melanin production becomes irregular. Natural skin aging contributes to this phenomenon: the skin weakens, regenerates more slowly, and becomes more sensitive.
While these spots are not dangerous, it is important to monitor for changes in shape, color, or consistency. Those seeking simple, natural remedies can prepare an effective home remedy using three readily available ingredients: a vitamin E capsule, a tablespoon of organic honey, and a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil.
