1.You can fade freckles by rubbing Lemon on your skin or by applying Lemon Juice using a cotton ball. Lemon has a natural acidic power to lighten skin.
2. Another way is by rubbing Onion on your skin, onions have the same exfoliating power like lemon but the only problem is the smell.
3. Grate some Cucumber, squeeze it to extract the juice and apply it on your skin. Works best if you mix 1 tbsp of Honey and 1tbsp of Lemon.
4. Freckles can also be treated with proper Vitamin supplements.
People with freckles should increase the intake of Vitamin C. Foods rich in Vitamin C are Oranges, Grapes, Apples, Strawberry, Lemon, Guava etc.
5. Natural Parsley Juice mixed with equal amount of Lemon Juice and
Orange Juice will help freckles fade.
6. Washing face with Sour Milk is also a very beneficial remedy
for freckles.
7. Papaya Juice helps remove skin blemishes and lighten freckles Apply it on your face with the help of a cotton ball or you can even rub it on your skin directly. An enzyme called Papain in Papaya fades scars and freckles. The result is wonderfully smooth, soft and glowing skin.
8. Applying Vitamin E Oil also helps fade freckles, its the gentlest way to fade freckles , takes a little time but it won’t dry your face.
Based on Similar Comments I have prepared some FAQs please read these FAQs before posting a comment
How long should I keep these masks on for?
You can keep these masks on for about fifteen minutes.
How Long Does It Take To See the Result?
It depends on how dark your freckles are, if they are light you will be able to see the result in less than 2 weeks but if they are dark it might take almost a month.
Should I use Sunscreen if I am using these recipes?
You should use sunscreen 365 days a year, it doesn’t matter whether you are using these recipes or not, its just that some ingredients might make your skin photo sensitive so you should be extra careful. Sunscreen protects your skin from harsh UV rays and these rays are present all year around.
Can I use Bottled or Canned Lemon Juice?
No, you should always use freshly squeezed lemon juice for this recipe. Bottled and canned juice have preservatives, artificial colorants and artificial fragrance which can do more harm than good.
How long should I use these recipes for?
You can use it everyday or every alternate day for the first fifteen days and reduce it to twice a week after that.
What if I don’t see any result?
Same recipe can do wonders for some and do nothing for some, its because we all have different types of skin and our skin needs different type of treatments. So if one recipe is not working try the other one, keep trying until you find something that works. These are all natural recipes so there’s no harm in experimenting.
What is the best time to use these recipes?
You can use these recipes in the evening or night because some recipes make your skin photosensitive so you should not go out in sun immediately after using those recipes.
Which Is the Best Recipe?
There’s nothing called best recipe, one recipe can work wonders on some whereas same recipe might irritate some people’s skin so you have to try and see which one works for you. If you have sensitive skin try and avoid lemon.
Do I need to Wash These Masks?
Yes, you should only keep these masks on for about 15-20 minutes and rinse off after that.
What Kind Of Honey Should I use?
You can use Organic Honey, Raw Honey or Manuka Honey, if nothing is available you can use your plain regular Honey.

Hi Toray, Its not good to try everything together. Why don’t you try one of them and see if it works for you and if it doesn’t then you can experiment with the other recipes.
Can I apply lemon juice on my face first and use sour milk mask on the same day?

Hey Everyone! I ran across this page about three days ago and i think its amazing! When i was younger [im 20 atm] i HATED my freckles and have always wanted them to be less noticable…well GONE, and iv even told myself when i got older I would go into surgery to remove them if that was possible, of course now I am older and i dont mind them all that much BUT after reading all these ways that i can make them fade, whats it gonna hurt to try? SOOO i had my husband go out and buy me lots of lemons and this is day two for me! What Iv been doing is cutting the edge off of the lemon and squeezing it little by little onto a plate, and i just dab a cottonball into the lemon juice on teh plate and apply it all over my face, onto my shoulders and onto my arms, yes i kno..iv got LOTS OF FRECKLES! my husband loves them and thinks im silly for trying this but i dont care. iv lived with them all my life, id love to see if i can actually make them fade. So after applying them, I leave my face alone for 20-30minutes and it feels like iv got a tight film all over and it is sticky! but thats okay, because after 20-30minutes i hope in the shower and wash it all off. I have only been doing this once a day, and like i said beofre this is my second day, i started yesterday. So far no results but i do want to keep everyone here updated. im going to start doing it twice a day, i jsut dont want my skin to get really dry, because that is a problem i have sometimes. I do apply a moisturizer after i get out of the shower. And i hvnt been outside at all in the last two days, i have a newborn baby so Im stuck in door taking care of her =D which works out great, because i dont need to see the sun. but i am prepared to go out there. iv got my sunscreen waiting for me on my bathroom counter haha Well alright, Il keep everyone updated, thanks!
Hi Kitty, Thanks for sharing your experience, would love to hear your feedback soon:)
hi lean,
ive just started rubbing onions in my face how long will it take before i start noticing any improvements
i have used the one out of the bottle and it has seemed to work a bit, is that ok ?
Or shall i start using a fresh lemon ? xxxxx
as soon as i applied the lemon, i felt a strong sting and my skin turned a bit red. is this normal or should i stop all together ?
hello…i reallyt love this website.. its da BEST… i’m going 2 try the onion and the lemon..
could i use both of them at da same time??
Thanks for the wonderful job you are doing.
Thanks for the wonderful job you are doing.I am really impressed with the ingenious idea of an interactive column. Is it necessary to use a sunscreen cream when my body lotion already contains sunscreen although it is not specified whether it is up to SPF20? And would the addition of natural honey to my body lotion lighten my facial freckles? I am unable to use onion because it makes my face awash with tears and lemon is very difficult to come by in my locality.
hey, this site is awesome, so glad i found it.
i want to try the lemon one and i will as soon as i get some lemons, but i just wanted to know,
cause obviously you dont use 1 lemon per day.
what can you do with the rest of the lemon,
like can i put it in gladwrap and put it away OR squeeze as much as i can out of the lemon into a container?
hey
just started using the lemon juice and am thinking of using the onion aswell..is it a good idea to use more than one method at a time? Thanks again 
thank you so much for all the tips
Hi Julia, Its better you use one recipe at a time, using everything together will not help.
You might be allergic to lemon, do not use it if it stings.
Jess, I would appreicate if you could read the full article before trying out any recipe. It clearly says you should use fresh lemon juice and NOT Canned or bottled.
I just tried the lemon stuff on I hope it works! do you have to do it everyday?
Also, can you get photosensitive by using the cucumber recipe?

This is a beautiful website. I would love to try out these recipes to improve my skin. I will try the lemon and honey first, at the same time eat alot of fruits rich in vit c. I can’t wait for my freckles to fade and dissappear. Can I see the difference in one week? Can it dissapear eventually?
thankyouu soo muchh for all the help. i have just started using lemons. reallyy hope it works. i hate my freckles. all i have wantedd to do is gett rid of them. the lemon stings a little but nothingg i cant deal with. i would do anything too get rid of them. i was considering surgery but if this works i wont need too. thankyou so muchh xx
Omg I almost cried when I found this website :’( thanks so much for making this website!! Iv had freckles all my life
I got a little stinging at first but then it went away, I hate my freckles so much I can handle it but ad long ad it doesn’t do any damage. So can I squeeze the lemon and put it in the container or will it lose it’s goodness? I also have very pale skin and don’t wanna look like a vampire will it make me super white? If I miss sections or put heaps on 1 part of my skin and not so much on others will my skin go blotchy?
Thank you xxx
