Age Spots/Skin Tags-What they look like & Where They Appear
Age spots also called liver spots (even though they do not have anything to do with the liver) are a natural progression for skin exposed to years of sunlight. These spots darken with age.
Appearance of Age Spots
Age spots are flat, brown spots which are larger than freckles.
Where Age Spots Usually Occur
Age spots can usually be found on the face, hands, arms, back, and feet.
"Using a broad-spectrum sunscreen that helps protect against two types of the sun’s rays may prevent more age spots.
Skin tags are small, usually flesh-colored growths of skin that have a raised surface. They become common as people age, especially for women. They are most often found on the eyelids, neck, and body folds such as the armpit, chest, and groin.
Age spots and skin tags are harmless, although sometimes skin tags can become irritated" (NIH, 2017).

How to Avoid Getting Age Spots
There is no guarantee you won't get age spots or skin tags but you are less likely to get them if you do these things:
Wear a broad spectrum sunscreen with a SPF 30 or higher anytime you will be out in the sun, even on cloudy days (the sun's damaging rays can go through clouds), and when you are in the water (water reflects the suns rays). Apply sunscreen 15-20 minutes before going out into the sun and reapply every 2 hours.
Limit your time in the sun-Don't go out in the sun between 10 am-4 pm
Wear protective clothing-Wear a wide brimmed hat, and loose, light weight clothing preferably with long sleeves and long pants.
Avoid tanning-Don't use sunlamps or tanning beds. Tanning pills are not approved by the FDA and could be unsafe (NIH, 3017).
