Freckles can form naturally or appear under the influence of sunlight. Freckles are not harmful to the skin, but many people want to lighten or remove freckles to have even-colored skin. This article will show you how to use natural methods to fade blurring and some tips to prevent the appearance of freckles.

Steps

Method 1 of 4: Natural method of blurring freckles

1. 

   Use lemon juice. Lemon juice with its natural bleaching properties can be used to fade or remove freckles. However, lemon juice is more effective at treating freckles naturally, as freckles formed by the sun are often dark in color and inconsistent in appearance.
   • Buy some fresh lemon and squeeze the juice. You can use pre-squeezed lemon juice.
   • Soak a cotton ball in lemon juice and apply it to the freckled area of ​​the face. Let the lemon juice soak into your skin for 10 minutes, then rinse with cold water.
   • Apply lemon juice every day to lighten freckles.

2. 

   
   
   Use a milk mask. Another natural method to fade freckles is to apply a milk mask to your face and let it penetrate the skin. The lactic acid in milk will peel off the surface layer of skin, making freckles fade. This method will treat freckles naturally more effectively than those that appear from the sun.
   • Apply ¼ cup sour cream to freckled areas. Let the sour cream soak into your skin for 10 minutes, then rinse it off with water and pat dry.
   • Use whole milk to wash your face. Just pour some whole milk into a bowl and apply to your face. Wait about 10 minutes, then rinse with cold water and pat dry.

3. 

   
   
   Peeling with fruit. Combining a variety of fruits to apply to the skin of the face and let dry is a natural way to clean the surface layer, helping to fade freckles. The fruit's stickiness on the skin will gently remove the surface layer of the skin.
   • Mash strawberries and kiwi in a bowl. Rub the mixture over your face, focusing on the freckled area. Then, let the mixture dry completely, it will take about 20 minutes. Peel off the fruit and rinse it off with cold water.
   • Use cucumbers or peaches as a substitute for strawberries or kiwi.

Method 2 of 4: Freckle removal therapy

1. 

   
   
   Use a skin lightening cream. Cosmetics stores have skin-lightening products with a variety of ingredients used to remove freckles and dark spots. Skin lightening cream is effective in treating freckles naturally and freckles that appear from the sun. For best results, you need to apply the cream every day.
   • Choose a cream with licorice extract, a substance that has been shown to lighten your skin.
   • Aloe vera is another popular ingredient in skin lightening creams. It helps brighten and moisturize the skin without damaging it.
   • Many creams contain chemicals like hydroquinone and oxybenzone. These ingredients help lighten the skin, but they can also cause damage. Find out the side effects and try the product on less sensitive skin before deciding to use a cream containing these two ingredients.

2. 

   Treatment of super abrasive skin (Microdermabrasion). This method uses tiny particles to remove the skin on the surface, helping to fade natural freckles or freckles formed by the sun. Super abrasion treatment is usually carried out in several sessions.

3. 

   Chemical peels. Removing superficial skin is an effective way to reduce the appearance of freckles and remove light colored freckles. Chemical peels are usually done on the face, but can also be done on the arms and hands.
   • Chemical peels have 3 different levels: shallow grade, where alpha or beta hydroxy acids are used to exfoliate the skin on the surface; medium level, using trichloroacetic acid to penetrate the skin and clean many layers of skin; For a deep level, use trichloroacetic acid or a highly concentrated phenol to remove more layers of skin.
   • After performing chemical peels, skin takes 2-3 days to heal. You should not perform chemical peels as often as they are harmful to the body.

4. 

   Get laser therapy. Lasers are used to burn blood vessels under freckles, reduce the appearance or completely erase freckles. This does not cause long-term damage but can cause temporary bruising, redness and swelling.
   • Laser therapy is done about 3 times, each time from 10 to 15 minutes.
   • The skin will be pre-treated with cold spray to ensure the laser's heat is painless during the treatment.

Method 3 of 4: Lifestyle changes

1. 

   Protect your body from the sun. Some people are born with freckles, but others have them as a result of sun exposure. Freckles will fade in winter, but will become darker in summer if you don't pay attention to protecting your skin in the sun.
   • Use plenty of sunscreen. Remember to wear sunscreen every few hours when outdoors and more often when swimming. In addition, you should also use a cream that has a strong sunscreen effect on other parts of your body as freckles can appear anywhere.
   • Wear a hat and sunscreen clothing. Sunscreen helps protect skin from the sun. However, wearing more layers of clothes will be more effective at preventing freckles from forming. Wear cool, thin long-sleeved shirts with pants in summer to stay cool while still protecting your skin.

2. 

   Supplement with vitamin C. Vitamin C helps fade freckles, so always remember to add a lot to your daily meals. Citrus fruits, kiwis, spinach and other green vegetables all have a lot of vitamin C.
   • Start your day with lots of vitamin C with a veggie smoothie. Put one kiwi, peach and one cup of raw spinach in a blender. Use a little extra almond milk or another healthy liquid when blending
   • Vitamin C supplements are another option for getting enough vitamin C in your body. Take vitamin C supplements or a multivitamin with vitamin C.

Method 4 of 4: Solution for makeup.

1. 

   Choose to use natural mineral foundation. Mineral foundation helps to conceal and give freckles the same color as your skin. Talk to someone experienced in using mineral cosmetics to find out what color foundation to use for your skin.
   • Choose a foundation that is somewhere between your skin tone and the color of your freckles.
   • Apply a mineral foundation powder to your face with a kabuki brush to create a natural and flawless makeup, which is the advantage of mineral cosmetics.

2. 

   Use foundation. The foundation is suitable for people with dry skin. You should choose a color that is slightly lighter than the color of the freckles. Apply foundation with a sponge or makeup device and smooth evenly for best results.
   • Apply a thin layer of powder over the foundation to keep it from dripping throughout the day.
   • Avoid applying multiple layers of foundation as you will focus your attention on the area of ​​the skin you want to cover.
