2. How to Get Rid of Freckles
While there are several available 'invasive' methods, I would urge you to see your doctor rather than reading an arbitrary web site. Among the more popular medical options are laser freckle removal and the cryogenic freezing of freckles. Over-the-counter bleaching creams are also available.
Freckle Removal & Minimization Tips
- Stay out of the sun whenever possible and wear sunscreen when you do go outside. Your freckles will tan just like the rest of you, causing them to become more obvious.
- Apply lemon juice directly to your face twice a day and let it sit for at least 15 minutes. You can also apply it at night before retiring and wash it off in the morning after rising. This will also increase your sensitivity to sunlight so wear sunscreen when you go out.
- Rinse your face with sour milk.
- Apply sour cream over your entire face, let it sit for 15 minutes and then wipe it off with a towel or tissue, but don't rinse.
- Use a cosmetic cover-up.
