Lemon juice does fade freckles if used properly

Submitted by draydan

Lemon juice does fade freckles if it is used properly. Below is a detailed list to help

The rules 

1 Try it out first
apply a little to the patch of skin just below the ear lobe twice a day as outlined by later rules do so for at least a week if no reaction froms you sre safe to continue

2 No more than twice a day 
(self explanitory)

3 Fresh is best but any will do 
Fresh lemon juice is best but bottled will do if you can try to use preservative free (lime also works but is very harsh and more prone to cause bad reactions)

4 The procedure outlined 
Apply the lemon juice to the effected area using a cotton swab (carefully when near the eyes) leave this on for no less than an hour but not longer than twelve 
rinse and moisturize.

5 Balance
In total your treatment hours per day may never exceed 12 out of 24

6 Effects
Effects may vary if you have been using for 1 month and noticed no change then chances are you never will. Normally effects can be seen within two weeks

7 Pale people don't fret
Lemon juice does fade skin tone but even skin looks more radiant than blotchy skin (if the tone) of your skin really is too light try using a tinted moisturizer instead of you regular one

Hope I cleared the air if you have any questions post or email me [email protected]

Comments By: Beth on 2010-06-04 Hello I am a 13 year old girl and I have freckles all over my face. On my cheeks forehead chin and especially my nose and I have noticed that they have appeared more in the summer.For some time I used nur76 skin lightening cream however I found no results so I did some research and found that many people use lemon juice!I hate my freckles so much and think that they make me look unattractive. Although I use foundation I am dying to have that natural effortless and clear look that all my friends have but that is impossible wiv freckles. I have been using lemon juice for a short amount of time and I have already seen some results. I am going to keep using it for another month to see where it takes me. Also I think that it makes your skin much smoother! I will keep you posted! Thank you!   zomg it works<33 Comments By: insertyournamehere on 2010-07-03 i just squeezed out some juice from a lemon, left it on overnight then washed it off in the morning,they looked kinda faded.. unfortunately i'm too lazy to do it everyday but im pretty sure that if you do it every day it'll fade freckles..good luck(: .!   question... Comments By: gabrielle on 2010-07-23 do you have to apply it twice a day?? and what if you use aveeno radiant skin moisturizer (to even out skin tones) at the same time? will that effect it negatively?   i hate my freckles Comments By: amyb on 2010-07-26 i am 13 years old and i hate my freckles i have them all over my face. i try to cover them with make up but it doesnt work. i am going to talk to my mum about them and see what she says about using it. i hope it works. i will keep you up to date with them. lol xx   Grr freckles Comments By: Anon on 2010-08-04 i have like a few hundred big freckles all over my face and arms and the backs of my legs i hate them they make me look ugly!! ive been sleeping with lemon juice on my face hope-fully it will work. it makes my skin feel silky and nice! =D   answer Comments By: answer on 2010-08-11 i used to have loads of freckles but thay do fade as u get older also best best best way 2 cover them is............ fake tan, honestly it does wonders just keep rubbing it in so its not steaky, ul be laughing.x   FRECKLES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But i have about 7-8 really dark ones on my face and one huge one on my forehead. i hate them very much and have tried almost everything. the dermotoligist said no cream works and even laser is not 100% effective. im really depressed and searching for anything that will fade them, HELP PLEASE!   Doesn't Work! UGH! Comments By: may on 2010-12-15 I absolutely HATE my freckles!!!! I don't really have many but i still hate them. They look cute on other people but NOT me. At least, in my opinion. I also have a little bit of acne so it makes me look even worse. It lowers my self confidence like, alot. Laser Freckle Removal is too expensive and i'm only 13, so i can't pay for it yet. I just pray i find another idea that works, or i'll have to wait till i'm older. Ugh. xP   how to get moles to go away Comments By: lalalalaalz on 2011-01-06 sry but there is no way to get a mole to go away at your house. It must be removed by a doctor. sorry.

Comments By: Anon on 2011-05-14 Alright.. so i've researched a little bit about this. the freckles only work on some people's skin. So that's why they wrote that if you don't see results for a month, then it probably won't work. IF YOUR ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO CAN'T GET RID OF YOUR FRECKLES.. [like me] then don't keep using this because it'll be useless, and since lemon's are very acidic, then once u go out in the sun u'll get them bck unless sunscreen is applied. Those who can't get rid of them.. unfortunately, have to try buying cream. Well good luck to everyone.. hope it works out for you? :D   i have freckles, lemon juice made 5 DISSAPEAR Comments By: Laurenn on 2011-06-29 hi, im 13 years old and have bleach blonde hair , i have about 20-30 freckles under my eyes, luckily i can coer them with foundation, i use rimmel london 25 hour, it helps alot. i tried this lemon juice technique and 5 of my freckles have dissapeared under my eye, im so happy and i look forward to keep using this techinique as it does really work , <3   well didnt help me Comments By: lolo on 2011-07-30 i have light brown freckles and i want my ones on my arms and well i have not got any on my hands but i might get them i tried it and it didnt work so really anoyed i suppose i just got to except them as there a sign of beauty right hope it works for you ! pleeaasse discover something else thanks
