Fading A Freckle

[smurfchops]

On my face, lemon juice or what?? 

[Old_Geezer]

Why bother.

Maybe you can get it cut out and a skin graft applied.

[Redhelen72]

No in my experience you cannot fade freckles

[Huderon]

Why would you want to do that ? As my grandfather said, a face without freckles is like a sky without stars.

 

[Redhelen72]

My nana used to call them sun kisses when I complained about mine

 

[Old_Geezer]

If you have only just aquired it, are you sure it's a freckle ?

Just found this smurfchops.

Buttermilk: Apply buttermilk directly to your skin. You should leave it on for 10 minutes before rinsing it off with warm water. You can also create a mask by combining buttermilk with oatmeal. Buttermilk has lactic acid, which could potentially help lighten your freckles.

Sour cream: Apply sour cream directly to your skin, and then wash it off after a few minutes. Like buttermilk, sour cream contains lactic acid.

Yogurt: Apply yogurt directly to your skin and leave it on for a few minutes. Yogurt also contains lactic acid.

Patsy - they don't work - honestly believe me - my other nanny thought freckles were evil and tried everything including those mentioned above to get rid of my freckles!

[Smowball]

Why? Freckles are pretty.

^^^^^^^ not on a 60 year old man !!

[bednobs]

Didn't you have skin cancer? I would be very wary about putting anything on freckles but can't you just use makeup

[Countrylover]

Surely freckles are small and in my opinion freckles are pretty.  My freckles now have been replaced by age spots  - not so pretty!  

[smurfchops]

Had it removed, it was benign, came back, used Efudix, peeled off, come back again but not as dark, Efudix didn't work this time.  Just vain, sorry.  I also used Efudix on another larger freckle which was pre cancer, the Efudix scabbed over and this 'freckle' has now gone.  Too much sun damage when I was young.... Thanks all.

Lemon juice won't help, better buy a product that includes AHA toners, or trichloroacetic acid, it may help, but it's never 100 %, better consult with a cosmetologist
