#1 Prevent The Freckles From Appearing

This is probably the most effective way to eliminate freckles. Protect your skin from the sun. Wear hats with wide brims so your face is in shadow and wear long sleeved shirts and long pants. It’s not just your face you need to protect. Try to avoid going outside when the sun is high in the sky since this is the time when you get the most UV radiation. If you must go out, try to stay in the shade as much as possible. And wear sunscreens with SPF 50 – all the time, every time.

#2 Radishes

Radishes are another great choice for those wondering how to get rid of freckles on face naturally as these contain bleaching ingredients that work by lightening freckles and dark spots on the skin and making it look evenly pigmented.

To use this natural remedy, grate one radish and add some lemon juice or papaya juice, then blend until you obtain a paste. Apply this paste on the face and all the other areas affected by freckles and leave it on until it dries. Remove the mask and wash the face with cool water, applying a moisturizer. You can also add sour cream or milk in this mask, to obtain the desired consistency. Avoid leaving it on for too long if you’re using a large amount of lemon juice as it might irritate skin.
