Freckles are small colored spots of melanin, a substance that gives skin its color. They usually result from exposure to sunlight. Freckles also have a genetic basis, meaning that if your parents or grandparents had them, you probably will too. Medical procedures designed to remove freckles can be painful and expensive, and many people simply don’t want to risk damage to their skin. As a result, many people instead try safer, effective and inexpensive home remedies to reduce their freckles.
A good first step is always to limit your sun exposure and use a safe sunscreen. Once freckles appear, however, these home remedies have been proven effective in diminishing their appearance.
• Add sugar to lemon juice and apply to the affected areas. Wash off after 15 minutes.
• Mix orange juice, parsley juice and lemon juice together and apply to the skin. This mixture often shows good results after just a few applications.
• Apply lemon juice directly to freckles until they fade.
• Apply castor oil or vitamin E oil to the freckles at bedtime and wash it off in the morning.
• Mix oatmeal with vinegar and apply to freckles. Leave on for 20 minutes, then wash off.
• Wash freckles with sour milk, which acts as a skin peel and also reduces dryness.
• Create natural beauty masks to fade the freckles using juices from cucumbers, apricots and strawberries.
• Mix wheat germ and honey together to treat freckles on the face. Apply generously and wash off after 15 minutes. Use warm water first, and then switch to cold water.
• Mix dry yellow mustard with milk and apply as a mask overnight. Wash thoroughly in the morning.
• Slice an onion and rub it on freckles twice a day.
• Wash freckles with buttermilk.
• Mix sesame seeds and turmeric powder in equal amounts to make a paste. Apply directly to freckles until they fade.
It is important that you avoid chemical-based creams or lotions which are meant to remove freckles. Chemical-based creams and lotions will only worsen the condition. Treat your freckles each day throughout the year, even in winter when they tend to fade. Use natural beauty products. You will save money and have only safe, natural products in contact with your precious skin.
