Home Remedies to Fade Freckles
For those who prefer to fade your freckles with natural home remedies, there are many things you can try. Since the sun's rays enhance freckles and dark spots, stay out of direct sunlight whenever possible and use a sunscreen with the highest SPF available.
Vitamins A & C should boost your defenses to the sun's dangerous rays and might reduce the darker pigment over time. If you have a light skin tone, there are many fade creams available for freckles, age spots and liver spots. Use with caution. If your skin is medium to dark, the creams can cause hyper-pigmentation and darken the spots you're desperately trying to get rid of. Alpha-hydroxy acids can increase the turnover of your skin cells and lighten freckles to an acceptable shade.
Other things to try are lime juice, lemon juice, and fruit and vegetable masks, such as apricot and cucumber. No one method is sure to work on everyone. Similar procedures may include those that fade age spots.

Staying out of the sun, and wearing a ton of sunblock while in the sun is the best way, I think. I started wearing sunblock religiously 4 years ago and my freckles have faded quite a bit.

there are some over the counter creams, but i used it and they never seemed to do anything.. So now that i got older i saw a dermatologist and he gave me some whitening creme. It works great. I even let a cousin use it for her brown spots on her face.. It is only used at night and its a must to cover from the sun and use sunscreen.. If u have insu its a good idea to just go ask a dermatologist in your local area....
good luck

I have heard that rubbing lemon on your skin and sitting in the sun does the trick... But personally, I have TONS of freckles and I wouldn't get rid of them for anything! It is one of the things that makes someone unique!

No.
Freckles are great anyways! I would try to learn to love them. I did! If you really hate them, you could always cover them with a good foundation, or concealer.

Embrace your freckles! I have them and everyone always comments on how cute they are! Play them up..!
If you trufully don't like them, draw to your eyes or lips instead and don't cover them up with cakey foundation.
