I don't know what the girl below me is talking about, but if its freckles that you've had all your life you can't make them go away. There genetic. It would be like scrubbing away your skin color. i suggest just a coverup formula. I know mac has a really really good set. Get the natural foundation, and mix it in a sponge with another foundation of your choice. Apply it to the areas and give it five minutes. Then apply the powder cover up and you should be good to go. You can't get rid of what you have but you can make it seem invisible.

To help fade freckles you really need to stay out of the sun as much as possible, but when you DO go out where a good sunscreen.
Some ways to fade freckles: Lemon Juice.
It may take a while, but I've heard that it really works.
I found these on a website about getting rid of freckles, never tried them, been meaning to. But they may work. :)
"#1)You need:
* 4 tb. buttermilk
* 1 t. grated horseradish
* 1 tb. finely ground oatmeal
Mix to form a paste. Apply to affected areas and leave on for thirty minutes. Rinse off. Note: try not to get in eyes!"
The next one is:
"#2You need:
* 1 oz. Venetian soaps (alternate: plain, unperfumed white soap)
* ½ oz. lemon juice
* ¼ oz. oil of bitter almonds (hard to find.. poisonous! alternate: sweet almond oil)
* ¼ oz. deliquidated oil of tartar (hard to find... alternate: cream of tartar - used in cooking)
* 3 drops oil of rhodium (perfume, not essential)
Dissolve the soap in the lemon juice. Add the two oils and place the whole in the sun until it acqures the consistance of an ointment. Add the oil of rhodium. Anoint the face at night with this unction, then wash off in the morning with pure water."
Another one:

And the last one:

1. Got Freckles?
As you may know, freckles are nothing more than spots on your skin where melanin (skin pigmentation) has gone pigment-happy. They are common in children and usually fade as one grows into adulthood. Usually.
2. How to Get Rid of Freckles
While there are several available ‘invasive’ methods, I would urge you to see your doctor rather than reading an arbitrary web site. Among the more popular medical options are laser freckle removal and the cryogenic freezing of freckles. Over-the-counter bleaching creams are also available.
Freckle Removal & Minimization Tips
* Stay out of the sun whenever possible and wear sunscreen when you do go outside. Your freckles will tan just like the rest of you, causing them to become more obvious.
* Apply lemon juice directly to your face twice a day and let it sit for at least 15 minutes. You can also apply it at night before retiring and wash it off in the morning after rising. This will also increase your sensitivity to sunlight so wear sunscreen when you go out.
* Rinse your face with sour milk.
* Apply sour cream over your entire face, let it sit for 15 minutes and then wipe it off with a towel or tissue, but don’t rinse.
* Use a cosmetic cover-up.
Freckle Removal Cream Recipes:
Use the following home remedies by mixing them with yogurt, your favorite cream, or by applying directly to the skin. Most of these concoctions will make you more sensitive to sunlight, so be sure and use sunscreen when you go outside.
* Lemon juice
* Parsley juice
* Onion juice (Or crushed onions) - not a very pleasant solution…
* Cucumber juice (you can also crush a cucumber into paste and use the resulting material)
* Fenugreek oil (Dilute in cream or yogurt)
* A mixture of 2 oz. Lemon juice, 2 oz. rum, 1 tsp. glycerin, and 4 tbsp. buttermilk - let the mixture set on your face for 30 minutes and wash, no more than twice a day.
* A mixture of 1 tbsp. yogurt and a dribble of honey. Apply this directly to your freckles and it let set for 30 minutes before washing.
