Hi cutie1,

Applying alpha-hydroxy lotions and products containing retinol will help to even skin tone and lighten freckles. I know of one method that uses egg white only with lemon juice and normal plain flour.Mix them and apply to your face and limbs. It helps to lighten scars and smoothen the skin. Do be careful if you have sensitive skin as the lemon juice can cause skin irritation.

However the best prevention is still avoiding the sun at peak periods (10am-4pm).If you have to, apply a high SPF sunblock to your face as well as your body.As sunblock tends to be oily, choose one that is non pore clogging.

Yes, Lemon Juice is good for lightening the skin. All you have to do is apply the juice onto your face, leave it for about 15 minutes and then inse off. You should do this every other day.

However, if you have sensetive skin...this may not be the best.

Aw, you should learn to love your freckles But anyways, I tried lemon juice for freckles on my arms before, and it worked alright. It faded them enough, so I'd try what these girls are saying
