Natural Treatment for Freckles
Freckles usually result from genetic factors and exposure to direct sunlight exacerbates the condition. Also artificial tanning solutions like tanning beds can also worsen the pigmentation.
One thing you could try is rubbing the affected area with lemon juice. It has skin lightening properties. However avoid exposing your face to sunlight once you have applied the juice. Another over the counter solution is cream containing hydroquinone, which also has lightening properties.
The UVA and UVB rays can really lead to emergence of latent freckles so you could try a sun block with at least 30-45 SPF. Most sun blocks nowadays provide protection against both UVA and UVB rays so the chances of sunburn and other skin conditions are lowered. Do not neglect to use sun block on days when it is overcast or cool as the suns rays are still getting to your skin. Reapply it after a wash, swim or few hours outside.
Use a hat or a scarf to shade your face from the sun. If you are able to do so, avoid direct sun exposure during parts of the day when the sun is at its strongest. This is usually between ten in the morning to about four in the early evening.
