Sandalwood
Sandalwood is believed to contain effective anti-aging properties, and is often used to reduce the appearance of age spots.
- Massage a drop of pure sandalwood essential oil directly onto the age spots.
- Alternatively, you can mix a pinch of sandalwood powder with a couple of drops each of rose water , glycerin and lemon juice. Apply this paste onto the age spots and leave to dry for 20 minutes before rinsing off with cold water.
You will need to have patience when using these home remedies. The brown spots will not disappear in a week or two, so you need to follow the remedies for several weeks to notice positive results.
Buttermilk
Buttermilk is often used to reduce brown spots and skin pigmentation because it contains lactic acid which tends to lighten the skin safely without causing any irritation.
- Dip a cotton swab in buttermilk and apply it on the affected area. Wash your skin after 15-20 minutes. If your’s is oily skin or acne prone skin, mix a little lime juice or tomato juice to the buttermilk before applying it to your skin.

Castor Oil
Castor oil is known for its skin healing properties and has proven effective in the treatment of age spots.
- Apply a little castor oil directly onto the age spots and massage into the skin for a minute or two until absorbed. Do this once in the morning and once in the evening, and you should start to see an improvement in about a month.
- If you suffer from dry skin, you can mix a little coconut oil, olive oil or almond oil in with the castor oil for added moisture.
