Freckles may be a warning to people who have them that their skin is highly vulnerable to sunburn and to skin cancer. It will be hard to remove freckles completely. However, there are ways to prevent them, lighten their color, and fade them considerably.
 Sunscreen for Freckles |
Apply Sunscreen
The Sunscreen should be able to block both UVA and UVB rays and contains one or more of the following active ingredients: Parsol® 1789 (avobenzone), titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. Apply the sunscreen every morning when you get up, and reapply every two hours or after swimming, sweating or washing your face. |
 Avoid Sunlight to Prevent Freckle Development |
Avoid Sunlight
If you can, don’t go outside during the peak sunlight hours. Sunlight will certainly worsen your Freckle problem. |
 A Brimmed Hat Can Stop Freckle Development |
Take A Hat With You
If you do need to go outside, wear a hat to keep the sun from directly hitting your face. This is a great way to take shade with you everywhere and prevent your Freckles from developing and darkening. |
 Use of Suntanning Beds May Cause Age Spots |
Don’t use Tanning Beds
Using these devices for one session, your skin are exposed to lots of pigment-inducing UV radiation which is equal to a whole day spent at the beach. This will darken your Freckles. |
 Some Chemical Peels Make Your Skin Vulnerable to Freckles |
Check Your Medications
Check with your dermatologist to determine if what you are using on your face or taking internally would make your skin more sensitive to the sun. Don’t stop taking any medications without your doctor’s advice. |
 Fading Cream May Remove, Fade or Lighten Freckles |
Try Fading or Lightening Creams
You can try fading or lightening creams that contains hydroquinone. Preferably, the products should come in a tube or pump so they are not repeatedly exposed to air and light which would cause the ingredients to break down and become ineffective. Also make sure you follow the directions and precautions on the package. |
