How to Get Rid of Freckles
1. Got Freckles?
As you may know, freckles are nothing more than spots on your skin where melanin (skin pigmentation) has gone pigment-happy. They are common in children and usually fade as one grows into adulthood. Usually.
2. How to Get Rid of Freckles
While many people find freckles cute or attractive, some of us just want them gone.
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.

Freckle Removal Cream Recipes:
Use the following home remedies by mixing them with yogurt, your favorite cream, or by applying directly to the skin. Most of these concoctions will make you more sensitive to sunlight, so be sure and use sunscreen when you go outside.
- Lemon juice
- Parsley juice
- Onion juice (Or crushed onions) - not a very pleasant solution...
- Cucumber juice (you can also crush a cucumber into paste and use the resulting material, want to propagate cucumbers? Learn how to plant cucumbers)
- Fenugreek oil (Dilute in cream or yogurt)
- A mixture of 2 oz. Lemon juice, 2 oz. rum, 1 tsp. glycerin, and 4 tbsp. buttermilk - let the mixture set on your face for 30 minutes and wash, no more than twice a day.
- A mixture of 1 tbsp. yogurt and a dribble of honey. Apply this directly to your freckles and it let set for 30 minutes before washing.

Okay. So I mixed lemon juice with cucumber juice and peach weight watcher yogurt, and applied it to my face and left it on for approx. 37 minutes. Then I washed the cream off my face. My pores were cleaned out and moisturized. I have been using it 2-3 times a day and see a little change in my amount of freckles. This cream I created has moisturized my pores, faded my freckles & made me feel fresh. I recommend doing the same!
I hav rele dark freckles all over de left side of my face nd i HATE dem sooo mch!!!! Der HORRIBLE!!!! i cover dem up wit my hair nd my frends are always lik we cant c ur eye tie up yur hair nd i say no i’m cold.. does ny1 no how to get rid of dem?? PLZ help me!!!!
I had a face full of freckles. I still have freckles but they are very light now that I am older. I have found using invisable zinc every day has made them fade. I also put on fake tan, it reduces the contrast of freckles on pale skin.
One lesson I have learnt, is that you cant change your skin type. People will love you for who you are and not what your skin is like.
Hey i have freckles all over my face & i hate them.
ive been looking into fade creams and ive heard about lemon juice & sour cream masks but i wanna know what really gets rid of them or just fades them ? HELP?!
Hmm well i have like freckles all over my cheeks and nose, and im really pale too so it shows. i’m eleven. and the worst part is that im really tall, people think i’m like 15 and say ‘how many 15 yr olds have freckles’? and also i have a lisp too. lolz/ NOT funny.
My friends say that sunscreen helps but im not sure it might can someone tell me if it does and is there anything that wont make ur skin more sensitive?
Hi
try mixing green tea(the bags not bottles) with papaya sprinkle a little bit of lemon juice and sour milk. it should be like a mask. apply it to your face. keep it on thier for at least 15 min. or mor. wipe it not rinse it off until two hours have gone by. let me know if this works because this is what i use on me.
Papaya is really good at getting rid of freckles. just apply to your skin(after you cleaned it) don’t even wash it off.
I’ve had freckles since I was young and I’ve always been so envious of those with clear skin. For a while, I saw my freckles as a flaw and refused to accept that they were part of my physical appearance. However, I don’t want to try any of those home remedies for fading them as I’ve heard that they only result in the skin being more sensitive. & Well, my skin is sensitive enough to the Sun as it is already. I have a lot of mild freckles and a large group of dark ones as well. I think I may see a dermatologist about my darker freckles soon. For the past years however, I have been using papaya soap and have recognised a difference with my milder freckles. Some of my milder freckles have faded whilst the darker ones remained. My skin looks better overall, as well. So, at least it is something. I guess freckles do add to an unique sense of character. Plus, I love pale skin so I at least feel fortunate to not tan and keep my pale skin and just acquire freckles instead. I’ve discovered that a lot of people love freckles and many guys find them sexy, haha. Some people have told me that freckles are “angels’ kisses” and well, I guess they can be regarded as a very special gift which not many end up having.
I have a REALLY bad case of freckles and i need help? ive tried the cheese grater, then I thought to make it extra affective, I added lemon juice on it afterwards, it KILLED!My mum had to ring the hospital, after she found me on the floor with a cheese grater and lemon in my hands. The hospital was shocked and bandaged my whole face! Thank you so much, now I look like a lesbian!!
