Answer 1

you could always use makeup, like lindsay lohan. you should see her before and after pics. one with a ton of freckles, and the other a beautiful face with no freckles. u could zap them too. ask doctor about that. i'm just like u. i have freckles from the sun, and right, it looks weird on an asian like me ;)

Apparently This Can Work :] : How to Reduce Freckles: Things You’ll Need: . Yogurt . Honey . Lemons Juice . Sunscreen Suntan Lotion Step 1: Mix 1 tsp. plain yoghurt with 2 or 3 drops of honey. Apply to freckles and leave on for a half hour, then rinse. This works as a mild bleach. Step 2: Use lemon juice as a natural bleach unless you have sensitive skin. Step 3: Apply alpha-hydroxy lotions and products containing retinol to even skin tone and lighten freckles. Step 4: Stay out of the sun and use sunscreen. Freckles will return with exposure to the sun. Hope This Helps!!

Bleaching agents, the most conventional treatment for freckles, have limited success in masking the appearance of freckles. Bleaching agents attempt to fade the freckles to a color approximating that of the surrounding skin. However, they can sometimes lighten or darken the skin surrounding the freckles, calling even more attention to the spots. Occassionally, bleaching agents cause rashes or chemical burns. Some people have had success using alpha hydroxy acids on a regular
basis, combined with sun avoidance and the use of sunblock. Some dermatologists recommend prescription-strength retinoids for the treatment of freckles. Modern treatments for lightening freckles include freezing them with liquid nitrogen, and the use of strong acid peels or ablative laser treatments. Freezing, chemical peels and ablative laser treatments, while more effective than conventional treatments, can damage healthy skin, cause scarring and require lengthy recovery times. The use of Intense Pulsed Light is a new treatment option for those wanting to fade their freckles.
Freckle removal is easily achieved with lasers. Before lasers, it was difficult to remove freckles because the lesions are so small. But with laser, the treatment can be pinpointed at even a very small spot. Other methods used to remove freckles include laser resurfacing, Retin-A, and chemical peels. Laser resurfacing is a pretty significant procedure to recover from, so it is usually done only when there is severe sun damage or undesired wrinkles to remove as well. Retin-A is a good treatment, but good results take several to many months of use of the product. Chemical peels are of two main types, superficial, and deeper. The superficial peels, such as glycolic peels, are able to remove freckles, but usually with many repeated treatments. The deeper peels will get rid of freckles all at once, but recovery is more significant.

freckles are color pigments in your skin. you arent going to get rid of them. you can use a high # spf sunscreen and help prevent them. a good make up will also cover them up.
but just so you know from what ive learned having a best friend whose a freckled redhead.. boys did freckles.

Answer 5

the lemon juice and vinegar doesn't really work. Not to mention any time you are even remotely in sunlight you are bound to break out a new freckle here and there. Learn to love them, they are a part of you. Besides I know alot of people who think freckles are cute or sexy.

Answer 6

I am in my 30's and I love my freckles. Embrace them!

The only thing you can do to reduce your exposure to the sun and/or tanning. Make sure you use sun screen when you are out in the sun and make sure it is at least SPF 40.

Good luck!
