Freckles seem to be a part of life. For some, it is just a few here and there, but for others, freckles can seem to take over your face arms and other parts of the body. Freckles are a sign of skin damage and are most common on fair skinned individuals. If you happen to be a little sensitive about freckles, do not worry. There are plenty of ways to reduce the appearance of your freckles with a few natural and technologically advanced remedies.
Honey
The use of honey offers a two-fold relief system. Honey provides both a moisturizing quality along with enzymes that help to lighten the skin. The method for using honey involves slightly heating honey and water and applying warm to the skin. Leave it on for a few minutes and rinse thoroughly. For a more intense treatment with honey, mix warm honey and wheat germ to create a paste. Apply the paste to the affected area and leave it on for 10 minutes. With this method, you will have to repeat the process a few times each week for a couple of months to see a drastic reduction in the appearance of freckles.
Sour Cream
One of the best natural methods for reducing the appearance of freckles is with the use of sour cream, sour milk, or yogurt. It is the lactic acid within these products that provides relief. The only downside is that you must keep up with this daily routine and allow the soured milk substance to remain on your skin until it dries. You also do not wash this component off, but rather wipe it off with a towel and apply a moisturizer. You might want to invest in a scented moisturizer as the sour scent can remain on the skin after it has been wiped off.
Lemon Juice
One of the easiest and natural ways to reduce the appearance of freckles is with the use of lemon juice. This method calls for fresh lemon juice to be added to the affected area and massaged into the skin twice daily. You can also sprinkle a teaspoon of sugar onto a lemon half and gently scrub it into the skin for a more intense freckles. Lemon juice essentially bleaches the skin offering a more uniformed appearance, but you have to keep it up daily to maintain results.
IPL Photofacial
Technology has come a long way for non-invasive cosmetic treatments and if your skin is overrun with freckles, an IPL Photofacial can offer relief. Unlike natural remedies, an IPL Photofacial is not a daily regimen. With an IPL Photofacial, intense light is used to reduce the appearance of sun damage, such as freckles and uneven skin tone. Each treatment takes an average of 30 minutes to complete and the number of treatments recommended are based on the severity of freckles.
