Just as you exfoliate the skin on your face, you need to remove the top layer of skin on your hands to reveal the fresh skin underneath. At home, you can use microdermabrasion crystals or even 1 teaspoon of sugar combined with coconut oil. While these treatments will not remove brown spots, they will leave your skin looking smoother and softer. The key is to exfoliate on a regular basis.
You can also try a professional chemical peel to exfoliate and remove dark spots; however sometimes these are too harsh for the skin on the backs of our hands. An at-home alternative is to apply fresh lemon juice to your hands for as long as you can tolerate and rinse off. The citric acid in lemon juice is a mild exfoliator.
