There are several ways to reduce freckles, and using lemon juice is certainly one of them. However, you would be better off trying to prevent the formation of freckles rather than getting rid of them once they have arrived. The best way to do this is to make sure you stay out of the sun. Freckles are a direct result of the sun's rays hitting your face directly. You should make sure that you keep your skin protected from the rays of the sun by using sunscreen lotion on a regular basis. This alone will be very useful in gradually fading away your freckles. Using lime juice is always better as opposed to using lemon juice. The reason for this is that lime juice is more citric in nature and will be very useful in lightening your skin color generally as well. But you should be very careful with the use of lime juice. Try and use it only in the evenings, after sunset. The reason for this is that if you mistakenly expose your skin to the sun once there is lime juice on it, it may turn even darker. So you need to be really careful and make absolutely sure that your skin will not be exposed to sunlight after using lime juice. Also, make it a point to use it diluted for better results.
You can also use a basic face pack made with egg whites and a few drops of lime juice. This can be left on your face for about 10 minutes after a bath and will be very useful in removing freckles. Alternately, you can also use fresh tomato pulp. It is better to chop a tomato and use a large piece to scrub out your face. This will be extremely useful in evening out your skin. Try and do this while having a shower for best results. Another very effective face pack to utilize is a paste made with sandalwood powder and rose water. This should be left on your face till the skin dries out and then simply brushed off. You can also leave this on for as long as you are comfortable with it being in contact with your skin. You can also make runny buttermilk with fresh yogurt and use this to scrub out your freckles. Do keep in mind that these methods will take time to show results. You will not be granted miraculous overnight results.
