What are Freckles? How to get rid of Freckles - DIY

Freckles are the dark brown spots on the face, specially on the upper parts like nose, forehead, upper cheeks etc. Freckles may appear on the other parts of the body as well, for example arms, shoulders, chest etc. For some people, freckles are natural but sometimes they appear due to the heavy sun exposure. It might be heredity due to which you can have freckles. Hormonal imbalance may also be the cause of it. Most of the times, people who have quite fair color are the victim of freckles.

There are different methods to deal with freckles but one should go for the safest side. Below we are mentioning to reduce or remove your freckles.

Removing Freckles using Laser Treatment

Laser treatments are commonly used nowadays as the beauty and glamour has become more worthy for people. For several face-related cosmetic problems, people go for the laser. Facial hair removal, sunburn solution, face lift etc. are the treatments for which people are rushing towards laser. But there are folks who think thousand times before going to the laser option. Physicians who use the laser treatment claim that they can remove the freckles from laser as well. They burn the blood vessels through laser which are there under the freckles. The complete process requires almost 2 - 3 sessions and each session of around 10 - 15 minutes. But the results are sometimes even worse instead of making your face better. There is a risk for scarring as well in case of something goes wrong during the treatment. Another side is that, some cases really go perfect and the patient gets rid of the pigmentation problem of their face. But there is no guarantee that for how long this treatment will work. Therefore I will always suggest you to go for Home Remedies.

Treating Freckles using Cosmetic Products

Cosmetic products always promise to give you the awesome results (though very few fulfill their commitment). There are many brands who claim that you can get rid of your freckles 100% using their products. First of all, 100% results cannot be achieved using any of the product but you can lighten your freckles using some high quality branded products. Use some skin lightening creams having an ingredient of Licorice or Aloe. These help skin to lighten its tone. Hence freckles may seem reduced.

Use a sufficient amount of a good sunscreen while you are ready for the direct sun exposure. Apply the sunscreen some hours before you are going out so that it fully penetrates into your skin and acts more effectively.

There are some foundations also available in the market. You may try a foundation containing natural minerals inside it. Choose the color of the foundation as a blend of your skin color and you freckles color so that it looks more natural. But remember that this is not a solution of getting rid of the freckles. This is just a matter of appearance, once you'll wash your face, your freckles will appear again. But this will help you when you are going out in some party or on any event, the foundation will help you in getting an instant neat look which you want. As a tip, please note that if you have a dry skin, you need to use a cream foundation instead of powder.
