Freckles look amazing.

But like the girl said below me, the sun enhances them. So if you go tanning, or lay out in the sun, you will get 10x more.

Also, makeup does help.

But other than that, you can't get rid of them.

Well the sun is what really makes them pop out so you could stay out of the sun. But that really not any fun. Freckles arent that bad. You will have to just live with them.

Rubbing a little bit of lemon juice with a cotton ball or with your fingers over your freckles will help fade them. Be careful though, because lemon juice causes your skin to be sensitive to the sun, and you will sunburn easily. Use sunscreen when you go outside. Applying alpha-hydroxy lotions and products containing retinol will also even your skin tone and lighten freckles.

Avoid the sun.

Sorry, but there's really no other option apart from that or make-up. I'm a redhead myself (or used to be, back when I had hair), and freckles are part of the fair-skinned package for most people. It's genetic.

While it's a good idea to stay out of the sun anyway, or at least use a lot of sunblock (freckles are produced by the same conditions that cause tanning), may I also suggest that you try to appreciate your freckles? They can be awfully cute. My little boy has quite a few freckles, so I know. :D

Seriously, you'll lead a happier life if you can appreciate yourself for what you are, rather than trying to match some impossible social standard of beauty. And honestly, people who accept and are happy with their looks - no matter WHAT their looks are - are seen as more attractive by others.

Really.
