Age spots can also be caused by smoking, lack of vitamins, or a diet that has large amounts of refined sugars or fats. These factors added to over exposure to the sun will almost definitely speed up the process of age spots. The age spots are formed when the body produces too much Lipofuscin. Lipofuscin is a substance that is darker in color and helps color your skin pigment. Too much Lipofuscin in one area and your skin starts showing the spots of buildup on the outside. Age spots are thought to be very unsightly and can form in anyone as early as their late twenties. But most commonly sun spots or age spots occur after the age of 55.
