Natural Treatment Sun Freckles

Natural Treatment Sun Freckles

The sunspots can be darker or lighter than your normal skin tone and can occur in different shapes and colors. They usually occur on areas of the skin that get regularly exposed to sun, and particularly appear on your nose, cheeks, upper lip, ears, forehead, neck, arms, back of your hands. They might look like raised warts and cause slight itching. They may also look like scaly or rough skin lesion, and sometimes can be flat even.

Tips for Sun Freckles

1. Lemon Juice to remove sunspots

 Lemons contain mild acid which helps in lightening the skin spots that are dark, contributes in getting rid of dead skin cells and facilitates regeneration of new skin cells. You can either lightly rub fresh lemon slice or even lemon juice directly on the affected areas, a couple of times a day. Both work as skin lightener. Let the lemon juice sit on the skin sunspots for twenty minutes, then wash it off. A word of caution here is that lemon juice makes your skin extra sensitive to sun, so never go out in sun with lemon juice on your skin, rather be sure to cover the affected areas when you’re going out in sun. Also if you have dry skin then it can make your skin feel drier, so moisturize your skin after applying this home remedy.

2.Tomato Juice For Freckles

Take a large ripe tomato and clean it under running water. Wash the tomato well so that the skin is completely clean of dirt and germs. Mash the tomato to a pulp and apply the pulp generously all over the areas affected with freckles.
Now using the tip of your index finger start massaging the skin to allow the juice better entry into the skin pores. Leave the juice on the skin for 15-20 minutes and then wash the skin using water. Do not use soap on the treated part for at least a couple of hours. The treatment with tomato juice should be done twice a day for two weeks. By the end of the two weeks your freckles would have lightened considerably and your skin will acquire an even tone and a healthy glow.

3. Sour Milk and Sour Cream for Removing Freckles

As common an ingredient as sour cream or even sour milk can remove freckles from your skin, as long as they are not genetic. This wonder is done by lactic acid present in sour milk or cream. Lactic acid works by inhibiting tyrosinase to lighten your skin. Tyrosinase is an enzyme responsible for producing melanin and other pigments in your body. There are, of course, synthetic tyrosinase inhibitors too that are used in the commercially made skin lightening cosmetics. However, natural is always best. Lactic acid is one of the many natural tyrosinase inhibitors. It prevents the overproduction of tyrosinase enzyme and thus help you prevent hyperpigmentation of skin. Freckles are also a form of hyperpigmentation.

4. Sake (Rice Wine) for Removing Freckles

If you read labels of skin whitening cosmetic products carefully, you notice that many of them contain Kojic acid as one of their ingredients. Kojic acid is a by-product which is obtained during the fermentation process of malting rice. Sake, native to Japan, is an alcoholic beverage distilled from rice. It contains kojic acid as kojic malt is used in its fermentation process. Thus, sake is the rice wine, and can be very useful in eliminating freckles due to its high kojic acid content. Kojic acid, just like lactic acid, is tyrosinase inhibitor. It can reduce the production of melanin by inhibiting tyrosinase enzyme. You can use Sake for making a facial mask that will not only remove freckles but also deeply moisturize your skin along with its anti aging effects due to antioxidants that are also there in kojic acid!
