When we were young we found having freckles on our nose, cheeks, and forehead pretty cool and something cute, especially for those with red hair. Others may have wished for freckles.  But now that we are grown ups we want to get rid of freckles. They are now disgusting! We want them gone.  The problem now is on how we remove freckles naturally.

What is Freckles ?

Freckles are small spots that cluster on the skin.  They occur on skin that has been exposed to the rays of the sun.  It occur because of a group of cells in the skin that make more melanin, a dark pigment, than surrounding cells.  They appear in different colors like yellow, red, tan, dark brown or light brown. You cannot feel them unlike moles. Freckles are different from liver spots that appear as a sign of aging.

How to Remove it Naturally

Some people who have the means pay big bucks for laser removal surgery and treatments.  These procedures are fast ways to get rid of it.  There are home remedies that can help to lighten. You will need things found in your kitchen such as lemon juice, orange juice, parsley juice, sour milk, red currant juice, and moisturizer.

• One of the most effective natural ways of fading freckles is the use of lemon juice.  Apply a small quantity of lemon juice to the spots that you want to disappear. Leave it on for 15 minutes. You will feel a burning sensation but it will be worth it. Gently rinse off the juice and put some moisturizer.
• You can also try sour milk application. It contains lactic acid. It can lessen the contrast of freckles.
