Hi there,
Ok here's some fact about frackles:
Being outside in the sun may help cause freckles or make them darker. Some people's freckles fade away almost completely in the winter and return in the summer. Other people's freckles don't change much with or without the sun and can be seen year-round. Freckles also tend to fade as people get older. Always be sure to wear sunscreen and follow other sun-safety rules.
These are options that you could take to treat your freckles.
**Sunprotection
**Hydroquinone-a kind of skin lightening gel/cream that could decrease unwanted spots like, acne, or frackles (may cause irration)
** Kojic acid is a natural product derived from fungi. It is gentle on the skin and very effective in treating skin discoloration. Penetrating upper skin layers, it inhibits the formation of the pigment.
**Alpha hydroxy acids help to shed the old cells faster, therefore they will be helpful as well. By removing the outer skin cells, which are usually darker, you will make your freckles or age spots lighter and less visible.
Be sure to consult with your physician.
------Natural treatments-----
-Wash your face with sour milk. Lactic acid will provide gentle peeling effect without irritating or drying your skin.
-Lemon juice is a time-proven freckle fighting remedy. It is not necessary to rub your skin with a piece of lemon. Applying the juice with your fingers will do the job.
-Fruit and vegetable masks (apricots, strawberries, cucumbers, red currant).
-Sour cream mask. Do not rinse this mask completely, just remove gently with a facial tissue, then apply a moisturizer. For oily skin - use lemon juice before applying the mask.
-Natural parsley juice (or parsley infusion) mixed with equal amounts of lemon juice, orange juice, and red currant juice under your favorite cream will help you keep your freckles invisible.
-Increase your Vitamin C intake! It makes your skin less sensitive to the sun. Foods rich in vitamin C include citrus fruits, apples, green onions, black and red currant, rosehip tea.
Tell me how its going. Take care.
