  This method may take about six weeks or so before you notice that your age spots are fading.

  Get the juice out of an onion by putting it in the blender or finely chopping it. Measure one part onion juice and one part apple cider vinegar. Apply it to your age spots with a cotton swab. Repeat twice daily until the age spots have faded. This process will take a couple of months, so make sure you give it enough time.

  Squeeze a lemon and use the juice to apply to your age spots. With a cotton swab, rub the lemon juice over the affected area two times a day. This process also takes about two months to see visible results.
