Introduction
- There are a number of remedies designed to get rid of freckles, and even a few surgical treatments. If you're fair of skin, and tend to freckle in the spring and summer, have no fear. The following information will offer you tips to help get rid of freckles, so you can enjoy clear skin.
Step 1: Surgical Removal
- There are several different types of surgical methods that can be used to get rid of freckles. Two of the most popular methods include:
- Cryogenic freezing
- Laser removal
- Both of these are a bit extreme, but if you are really sensitive about your freckles, one of these options just may be right for you.
Step 2: Avoiding Sunlight
- Freckles are more enhanced by exposure to sunlight, so one way to get rid of them is to minimize their appearance by avoiding exposure to the sun. Sunblock is another important factor. The higher the SPF you use, the more likely you will be to protect your skin against freckle outbreaks.
Step 3: Home Remedies
- There are a few natural home remedies that are great for freckle minimization, including:
- Lemon juice
- Sour milk
- Sour cream
- Yogurt and honey
- Onion juice
- Cucumber juice
- While some of the above mentioned things may not seem like something you want to apply to your face, people have been using them for years to get rid of freckles.
Step 4: Bleaching
- You can use skin masks to bleach your skin, which will also help reduce the appearance of freckles. Bleaching does not mean using chemical bleach, but juices like lemon, parsley, black currant leaf and horseradish, for example, to dilute the natural color of the skin. This method takes time, and will not appear to work immediately. Sometimes two to three applications a day for several weeks may be required.
Step 5: Freckle Free Diet
- Changing your diet is one easy way to ensure that you nip freckles in the bud before they begin to resurface. Foods high in Vitamin C have been known to make skin less sensitive to sunlight, which in turn, lessens freckles.
Conclusion
- Freckles tend to be a problem for people with less melatonin, in particular blonds and red-heads. While they aren't harmful, many people find them annoying, and would do anything to get rid of them. Following one of the above methods, whether surgical, or natural, will help you on your way toward freckle-free skin.
