Yes, that’s right. There are also several natural remedies to fade or get rid of freckles such as washing your face with sour milk because lactic acid provides a gentle peeling effect without irritating or drying your skin. Also lemon juice is a time proven freckle fighting remedy but do avoid the sun directly after application. It is not necessary to rub your skin with a slice of lemon, just apply the juice with your fingers like a regular lotion.
Fruit and vegetable masks made with mashed cucumbers, apricots, strawberries or red currant improve your chances to getting rid of freckles the same as sour cream mask, but do not rinse such masks completely, just remove them gently with a facial tissue, then apply a non-chemical moisturizer. If your skin is oily, use lemon juice before applying any mask and never leave to pay attention to control sun exposure.
Finally, a mixture of natural parsley juice or parsley infusion with equal amounts of lemon juice, orange juice, and red currant juice under your favorite cream will help you keep your freckles invisible while you get rid of them.

There are a myriad of home remedies out there..... but please be cautious about trying them out...
Anything with a high acid content can damage your skin, anything involving oils or fats applied directly to the skin can cause pore clogging, and anything involving the sun can cause skin cancers.
I say, if you're really curious, just try out the ones that aren't obviously false, or ridiculous claims.
Hey, a lot of people find freckles charming. In a day where the ideal woman is blonde, 5'9", 110 pounds, size 3 waist, and b-cup boobs, having freckles is something that'll definitely make you stand out from the rest of the wannabes.

I've never had a problem with my freckles. I quite like them. Anyway, they make cream that fade freckles away (its just like a moisturiser, you wont even notice it on you), probably better than your crazy old-wives-tale lemon juice thing?! Just go ask at the pharmacist, or look it up online.

Lol no my dear it wont help. But staying out of the sun and using a high factor sun screen could. Freckles fade with age.
