Freckles are tiny spots of pigmentation that appear on your skin due to over exposure to sun, especially if you have a fair skin that’s also sensitive. It’s easy to get rid of them and this article will tell you how.
Here are the top tips to get rid of your freckle problem and that too, naturally.
Lemon Juice
Lemons have citric acid which is a natural bleaching agent. Their juice has been used for centuries to get rid of skin pigmentation.
Just juice a lemon and apply that to your skin while gently massaging for 5-10 minutes and then use lukewarm water to rinse your face.
Do this two times a day to see results.
Honey
Believe it or not, honey is a natural bleaching agent too and it’s really good for your skin. It helps minimize the appearance of freckles. The natural properties of honey help it reduce the production of excess of melanin, the compound responsible for causing color pigmentation in skin and thus, it also prevents your skin from getting freckles.
Mix a tablespoon of honey with a tablespoon of water and warm it. Now apply this to your freckles and let it dry. Afterwards, rinse your face with lukewarm water and do this daily before going to bed. You will start to see the results with one or two months of regular use.
Red Onions
The sulphur in red onions makes it an excellent remedy. Like lemon, they have exfoliating properties. But, be careful to use only red onions and not white.
Cut an onion in 4 and rub it’s slices on your affected area twice a day. Be gentle.
Or, you can extract it’s juice and mix it with equal amounts of Apple Cider Vinegar. Soak a cotton pad in the liquid mix and apply it to your freckles and let it dry. Afterwards, wash your face with cold water and do this daily.
