I know that she takes lemon juice (as wierd as it sounds) and applies it to her face where the freckles are for about 20 minutes everyday or every other day. Also there are some simple home creams that you can make from vegetables and various fruits that can get rid of them, my friend used a little bit of lemon juice, some lime juice, chopped up avocados, and some cut up papaya all mashed together and applies it to their face.
Stay out of the sun, if you do go in the sun, try to cover them with hats or sunglasses (depending on where the freckles are.) Sunblock will help the freckles not tan in the sun. Also, I know you said you didnt want to buy anything, but there is this almay tlc truly lasting color (16 hour makeup) with skin nurishing long wear and spf 15 that I use that is absolutely amazing. Its a liquid cover up that is in a glass bottle, it lasts all day and wont rub off and I completely approve. Its not expensive either, less than 10 dollars (US) at target. Just an optional thing if you want :-) I use mine all the time, and it works for pimples and other non flattering features such as bags under your eyes.
Good luck!!! [ xosodapopx3's advice column | Ask xosodapopx3 A Question ]

One of the main pieces of advice I can give you is to try not expose your freckles to the sun too much.
I'm not sure if you have any of that stuff at home, and I don't know if that is what you would consider a 'natural' way to get rid of them, but hopefully it helped. [ JordyB's advice column | Ask JordyB A Question ]
