3. Grate some Cucumber, squeeze it to extract the juice and apply it to your skin. Works best if you mix 1 tbsp of Honey and 1tbsp of Lemon.
4. Natural Parsley Juice mixed with equal amount of Lemon Juice and Orange Juice will help fade freckles.
5. Papaya Juice helps remove skin blemishes and lighten freckles Apply it to 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.
6. 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 Repeated 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.

This is a great site! I will try a few of these for sure, let you know how it goes.
hey Jamie,
thanks a lot for visitng my site, u can post any beauty query here, i’ll be very happy to reply to it.
thanks
If I rub a lemon on my face…how long will it take for the frekcles to disappear? and do I have to do it regulary?
Hi Jesse,
It depends. You can use it every alternate day for a month and see the difference. Don forget to use sunscreen before steppin out in sun because lemon contains AHAs which will make ur skin photosensitive.
Well I am trying an onion…After my skin got a tiny bit red and then in a few hours some my really light hard to see freckles sort of disappeared…Do I still need sunscreen with onion? Because I sort of am allergic to some types of sunscreen…
Hi Jesse,
Onion doesn’t contain AHAs but its always better to use sunscreen while steppin out. But if u r really allergic to sunscreen then its better u consult ur dermatologist.
With The Lemon Juice,
Do You Use An Actuall Lemon And Rub It On Your Face Or Do You Buy A Carton Of Lemon Juice?
And How Long Do You Have To Wait Till You Can Rinse It Off?
Love the site!!! I have been rubbing red onions on my freckles for twice a day, how long will it take for them to disappear? Thanks, Jade.
Fabian, I apologize for replying late, looks like I missed out your comment. You should always use fresh lemon juice because commercial juice contains preservative which is not good for your skin. You can rinse it off after fifteen minutes.
Jade, Freckles take some time to fade but onions are really effective on freckles. You can rub it every alternate day until you achieve a desired result.
Out of all these which one works best?
Hi Julie,
Try lemon or onion if you are looking for a quick result.
ok thanks. one more question. using the lemon juice how long will it take them to disappear? when will i start to them clear up? about?
You should be able to see the difference in less than a week. Since Lemon contains AHA(Alpha Hydroxy Acids)it makes your skin photo sensitive so make sure that you wear sunscreen before stepping out.
is this permanent. will my freckles ever come back or will they be gone forever?
Once it becomes less visible you can do it once or twice a week but it can become visible if your skin is overexposed to the sun.
ive been doing the lemon juice for about 2 weeks. theyre not lightening at all. am i doing something wrong? could u give me really detailed instructions or is there some sort of lemon in particular?
Hi Stacie,
Any Lemon will do, all you have to do is rub it directly on your skin and make sure you rinse it off after ten minutes. Do not step out without sunscreen.
i have quite a few really dark freckles and i’m not really sure if i want to get rid of them or not. will rubbing the lemon on my face lighten all of my skin and make me paler?
Hi Judy,
Rubbing lemon will lighten your freckles and give you a radiant complexion. If you don’t wanna use it on your whole face just apply it on dark freckles.
Does lime work?
Yes it does
If i do any of these remedies, will it damage my skin in anyway, or make me paler than i am already?
No,it will not damage your skin in anyway. Make sure you use sunscreen religiously while using these recipes because some of these ingredients make your skin photo-sensitive.
what sort of onion do you use?
and does sour milk really work?
how long do you have to use it?
thanks.
You can use red onion which is used in cooking. Sour milk does work but it takes some time. You gotta use it until it fades.
My freckles just started appearing more and they are Really dark..and it’s winter. I haven’t been in the sun or tanning…do you think the lemon method will help mine too as dark as they are? Should I try something else?
Oh..and should I just try to keep the jiuce on the freckles…I wouldn’t want a huge whiter spot on my chest or face area?
Hi Sasha, lemon will help you but it might make your skin dry. Moisturize well if you want to use lemon in winter. You can mix it with honey and apply, honey moisturizes.
Hey Leon,
This site is amazing! I’m 15 and I have always envied girls who didn’t have freckles and could tan. I always feel that my freckles make me less pretty but I did not realize that there was a natural way to lighten them. Thanks so much for all your help. Oh and one question? Can you use these things everyday or does it have to be every other day?
Hey Brittany, Thanks for the nice words:)
I personally think freckles are pretty:) You can use it everyday for about fifteen days and then go for every alternate day. But if you are using lemon or orange be extra careful as they tend to make your skin a bit dry. Moisturize well and apply sunscreen before stepping out.
Hope it helps:)
Okay thanks
hey, this site is one of the best so far!
i was just wondering, i just used the lemon juice for the first time after reading this then, is it okay to leave it on? or do i HAVE to wash it off?
also which is the fastest method?
and one last thing, with the onion one, do you just cut the onion in half and rub it on your skin?
thank you !
Hey Leon!
I just wanted to say I love this site! I never knew that there was a way to remove freckles naturally! Thanks so much!
Some questions:
I dont have a huge amount of freckles, but I do have some noticable on my cheeks and nose. How long will it take for them to dissapear comepletely?
How often should I use lemon juice on them?
Thanks so much again!
Hey Krissy and Lucinda, Welcome to my blog:)
Lucinda, You have to rinse it off, you can keep it on for about 10-15 minutes. Lemon works faster but if you don’t apply sunscreen it could have an adverse effect.
Krissy, You can start seeing a visible result in less than 10 days but make sure you don’t expose your skin in sun because sun tends to make it more visible. Use it everyday for about fifteen days and then go for every alternate day until it fades:)
Okay thannks! So do we wash it off with just water?
annd its the winter now so i dont have to wear sunscreen, right? also, in the summer if i go out to get a tan without sunscreen, will they come back, and if i wear sunscreen, wll they also come back? THANKS!
Yes Krissy, You should use sunscreen even in winter. And yes you gotta wash it off with water. Tanning always makes freckles worse so if you don’t want them to come back you would have to avoid it:)
Would applying the lemon juice and washing it off more than once a day make it worse, no difference, or remove the freckles faster?
More than once is not recommended as it will only make your skin dry and itchy.
Should I try to keep the juice just on the freckles? I don’t want to have huge white areas on my face or chest? Thank You
with using the lemon you said you have to apply sunscreen when you go into the sun.
when can i stop applying sunscreen after use of the lemon
Hi Daniel, Sunscreen is something whch u need to apply everyday . Its just that you have to be extra careful while using Alpha Hydroxy Acids based products.
Hi i love this site iam so anooyed of frekals i just wondered if i should use the onion because i dont wana put sun screen on my face every day.
Leon,
wow this site is really great.. thanks for all the amazing tips.
i just have a few questions
1. does the onion method also make your skin photo sensitive.
2. if i have a natural tan under my freckles will that fade as well with either of these remedies
3. will taking vitamin c and eating more vitamin c enriched foods allow me to tan while limiting the ammount of freckles.. or will this method also make my skin photosensitive?
thanks a bunch
Hi Josh, you must apply sunscreen everyday. Onion works on freckles but do not skip your sunscreen, it protects ur skin from harmful UV rays.
Glad you liked this blog:) Onion doesn’t make your skin photosensitive but sunscreen’s highly recommended to prevent any skin damage.
Yes, your natural tan will also lighten with these recipes.
Vitamin C rich foods can lighten freckles and give ur skin a healhy glow so you should include foods rich in Vitamin C to fight freckles. Only topical appliaction of Vitamin C makes your skin photosensitive.
does any type of onion work???? because i got really dark frekals and every day i wake up and look in the mirror more is coming out.
Yes any type of onion works but red onion is the best option. Don’t worry, try rubbing onion everyday, apply a good sunscreen and you’ll see a positive result soon:)
how u ment to rub it do u cut it in little pecies?
Hey as a professional beauty therapist I am impressed with your blog.
keep up the good work. i am pretty sure these people are really annoyed with freckles and I am glad theres some one who can help them.
and does also eating fruit make it naturally go away?
and if it does what type? and how long
Hi Josh, just slice it up and rub it on freckles, no need to cut it into small pieces.
Elin, thanks for the nice words:)
Jack, yes eating fruits will help a lot. Eat citrus fruits and berries like strawberry, blueberry, cranberry, Lemon, Oranges etc.
What is better to get rid of freckels faster rubbing lemon or onion I really hope this works .
Hello i was just wondering if sour cream works the one you buy as nacho or chip diping and if there is a way to make home made sour milk?
thanks-Karen
Hey Karen, don’t get confused between sour cream and sour milk. I am not talking about nacho dip here.Here’s how you make your own sour milk-
Add 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Mix well and let it sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes, sour milk is ready, you can also use buttermilk which is easily available in the market.
Hope it helps.
Shim, Lemon and onion both are great for freckles, if yuo are not sensitive to citrus fruits then lemon could be a better bet.
does lemon and milk together work as sour milk?????
i might try onion….
and what happens if u r sensitive to the sun?
Yes Karen, you can use lemon to make sour milk. You have to try and avoid sun as much as possible and sunscreen should not be skipped.
what is the safest thing to use? because i dont want to be photo sensitive to the sun.
thanks.
Hi Anton, you can mix cucumber and honey, it might take a little longer to fade but it won’t make your skin photo sensitive.
Can u tell me if cumcumber juice works and how long it would take to get my dark frekals off and how i would get the juice from the cucumber.
Yes Stephany , Cucumber juice does work. Grate some cucumber and squueze the juice, apply and rinse off once it dries. Do this everyday until it fades.
ok i will also try the cucumber how long do u think it will take to get rid of my dark frekals and if i should apply on my whole face or just frekals
It might take around 3-4 weeks for ur freckles to fade if they are really dark.
Should i buy ones from the super market or planted ones because i got planted ones. and another question do i rub of whole face or just frekals
Do u rub on whole face or just on frekals?
Hi Chaz, I am not too sure which ingredient you are referring to.
Hi Anton, you can rub it on the whole face.
cucumber
Oh sure, home grown is much better
really ok thx i will try it and tell u how it goes
hey! i love your site, its awesome
well im asian and when ever i see an asian person, i see beautiful skin…but for me…freckles everywhere! ive never really tried using lemon juice or onion because im scared they will leave those white spots which make your face a lot paler and i dont want that to happen to me! so are lemons and onions safe for my face?
Hi Natasha, thanks for the nice words:)
If you are looking for a gentler option then you can go for cucumber juice and honey recipe and skip lemon. Let us know the result:)
omg!! i tried the cumcumber juice and it works amazing! i didnt want to use honey cuz i just wanted to try the cumcumber first and ive noticed my freckles fading away. but my face is starting to get a little red and i think its from the lemon juice i tried first but i didnt like it so i switched to the cucumber juice. What should i do to get rid of the redness?
heyy leon…
ur site is one of the best recently…
but i have a big problem here..
i have freckles on my cheeks and they are ugly
and im a runner so i often expose to the sun..
what am i supposed to do if i wan the freckles to fade?
between lemon or onion work the best?
Hey Rachel, Thanks for the nice words:) use onion if you are exposed to sun everyday. You can also use cucumber juice and honey.
umm…alright…the only problem is i dont like the smell of onions…what am i supposed to do?
Oh then you could go for Cucumber and honey recipe. It also works well.
can i use lemon method then put on sunblock?
Yes, you can do that:)
twice a day or once a day??? and should i put sunblock straight away after i rinse or whenever i want to go out?
Once a day is fine. You can rinse your face, apply moisturizer and follow with your sunscreen. Its good to apply sunscreen even if you are at home and reapply before stepping out. You should re-apply sunscreen every 2-3 hours.
is it normal too feel a little itchy?
Yes Rachel, Lemon makes your skin itch and red, so if you are sensitive to lemon don’t use lemon.
for me it does not turn red but a bit itchy at the 1st few minutes
Oh thats pretty normal but if it feels too itchy, stop using it
heey
ive tryed removing my freckles by using lemon juice everyday for about 2 weeks , and nothing has happended , if anything changed , i have MORE freckles.
why isnt it working?
the lemon juice ive used is lemon juice from a jar , its pure lemon juice. will it still work?
what else can i try to do?
and if i constantly do it everyday , will they eventually COMPLETELY fade away?
thanks.
Hey Natasha, I am sorry, I dunno how I overlooked your comment. Great to hear that cucumber juice is working for you. You can use chamomile tea to reduce the redness. Brew some chamomile tea and apply it on your face using a cottonball. No need to rinse.
Hey Krissy,
The reason could be the canned lemon juice, why don’t you try fresh lemon? Commercial lemon juice will have synthetic preservatives so its never a good idea to use canned one. And if you don’t use sunscreen lotion and expose your skin to the sun rays your freckles might get darker.
So the best option would be to use fresh cucumber juice with honey. It is very mild and it won’t cause any irritation.
heyy this site is amazing, today i have started using the lemon recipe for the first time and ill tell you the results.
this by far is the best the site to go too. your advice and teh questions asked have helped alot.
just one question. do you apply the lemon juice to your face twice a day or just once a day?? and ive ehard sour milk works as the lactic acid in the sour milk acts as a peeler which GENTLY peels away yuor skin is thsi true??
thanks again for all your help and ill keep updating whats happened.
x
Thanks for the nice words Amy:)
You can use lemon juice once a day. Yes sour milk works on freckles. Please let us know how it goes.
I’ve tried it for about 3 weeks and it doesn’t exactly seem to be fading.Could I try to use it 2 times a day?Does that have better effect?I really want to remove/fade my freckles asap because i dont like them!
Hi Elaine, Sad to hear that, could you please tell me which recipe you used?
uh.well,i used the lemon juice recipe =]
Elaine, did u use freshly squeezed lemon juice or the bottled one? Bottled one will not work, it does more harm than good, always use freshly squeezed lemon juice and moisturize well after you use this recipe because lemon is very drying. Make sure you use good sunscreen, re-apply every 2 hours and its best to use lemon juice recipe before going to bed.Hope it helps:)
hey leon!
nice site!
i wanna use the lemon juice recipe to get rid or freckles, but will it cause white spots to appear? please answer!
thanks!
Hey Anna, no it won’t cause white spot. It will only lighten the freckles.
thanks so much for these tips!
but is there anyother fruits i could use? we dont usually by lemons or onions.
again thanks so much!
Hi Kelsee, You can use cucumber or orange.
What kind of honey do i use? just the bottled sticky one?
Hey Leon,
I have 4 questions
1. Which one works the best without making your skin photo sensitive?
2. Do you have to wear sunscreen with all the recipes all year round?
3. Which ones wont make my skin lighter? because I already have very pale skin and i dont want it any paler
4. And how many times should you use it per day?
Thanks xx
P.S love the site by the way
i like this site it work wonders and im gonna try this i hope it works cause i really dont like my freckles and yea my name really is aquamarine my mom named me it cause she really likes that jem but i dont care but yea whatever im gonna try this tho =)
hi I really love this site i just started using lemon to fade away the frckles and i can see some results. Iv had freckles FOREVER and i really hate them and i finally found a safe way to try to remove them
thanks – Maddy
does it matter what type of onion u use? thanks
-maddy
with the lemon recipe can i just use a cotton bud and apply the juice where the freckles are? or do i have to rub the lemon all over?
do you wash the onion first because it makes my eyes water real baad.lol
thanks
when they have faded do you still have to keep using lemon/onion or once they have faded can you stop.
Hi uhm i was wondering, would i use ALL of the things at onces, like onion once a day and lemon the same day?
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.
btw i love this site, it helps the most so far thanks so much for the help :]
Can I apply lemon juice on my face first and use sour milk mask on the same day?
leon,
Which recipe would you perfer more?
If i used the lemon recipe more than once a day, would my freckles fade quicker?
Which recipe works the best and gets great results?
Thank you
-Samantha
Beside having freckles on my face, I also have them on my arms. Can I apply the lemon juice on my arms too?
Hi, I love the site, I also have freckles on arms and legs, do the recipies work on other place but the face?
Thanks heaps
hey, i was wondering if you had to wash off the onion afterwards?
thanks
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?
x
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
hey leon i have used the cucumber for 3 weeks now and it is neally 4 weeks and i can see lots of diffrence ….i couldactually see the diffrence on the 2 week early but i thought that i should carry on more to completely fade it away …thanks that was really healpfulll to get rid of my Freckles…:)

Hi
I have TONNES of freckles so I was going to use some of your solutions but then I remembered: I have very sensitive skin! So I was wondering if any of the solutions will hurt/affect my skin? Thx 
Jess you can try Cucumber and honey recipe
I have freckles and i am going to try this to get rid of them. I hope It works
I have wondered so long how to get rid of my freckles and now I’ve found a way! I have to go buy some lemons!!!!
Hi, I personally do not have freckles (!) but my friend does, and she is asking whether she has to wear sunscreen all year round, even in the winter when the sky is covered with white clouds and you cannot really see the sun.
Please answer quick!
Thanks.
Sonia.
Yes, sunscreen is required 365 days a year
Can i use lime instead of lemon? Tnx
I’m 15 and I’m soooo glad I found this website! I’ve had freckles all my life and each summer I just gain more and more!!! I mean it looked so much better when I only had like 5 freckles. Now I have hundreds! I can’t wait to start trying this !!
so excited!
I just found a site to get rid of zits and now this?! This is amazing !!

No, don’t use it overnight
Hi Leon,
I have been looking for a cure to freckles for so long!
I am 14 and i have a lot of light freckles on my noes and cheeks. I want a fast reaction so i want to use the lemon but i do a lot of sports and will probably forget to put sunscreen on. i have fair skin and i hate my freckles. I want to use the lemon receipe because we have a lemon tree but would i be better off with the safe option of cucumber? also will the lemon make my skin paler than it already is or will it just fde the freckles?
Thankyou so much!
Ella
Hi Ella if you are outdoor most of the times then its better you skip Lemon and use Cucumber and Honey instead.
Oh and one more thing, I know you said that it is best to use one receipe at a time,but what affect would it have if i alternated between the cucumber and honey and the lemon to reduce the photo sensativeness?
thankyou again,
Ella
Hi there. If we use the onion, how exactly do we use it? Chop a wedge off and rub? Or do we need to do something specific?
@Collin:
You can grate an onion, squeeze the juice and use it. You can also rub a sliced onion directly.
I think I would prefer to use lemon juice over onions any day. You would probably end up crying too much anyway if onions were used. I didn’t realise all these other ingredients could be used to remove freckles. Thanks for the helpful insight
