Answer 2

Lemon Juice or ask your pharmacist for what over the counter stuff you could use.

P.S. I have freckles myself. Have tried the Lemon Juice every night before bed with some results after about a week I think it was. I was in high school when I tried to lighten mine cause I have 1000's of them, if not more, and I totally hated them. That was around 20+ yrs. ago. I don't really notice them any more.

Answer 3

You can lighten freckles with lemon juice mixed with water (1/2 an 1/2)

rub the juice on your freckles with a cotton pad

Answer 4

You never use lemon juice on freckles, it just makes them worse because it increases you skins sensativity to sunlight, which is what causes freckles in the first place. Always wear sun screen when you go out and dont tan, these will make them even darker.

Answer 5

Stay out of the sun and wear a sunscreen with a high spf factor when you do go out. Staying out of the sun is the only way to lighten them. I have tons of freckles, but they begin to fade when I've been out of the sun for a few days, and all but disappear in the winter when the sun isn't as strong.
