Freckles
Freckles are light brown or tan in color. These flat and tiny (smaller than the head of a pin) speckles develop randomly on the face, cheeks and nose. Freckles are harmless and painless. They are most likely a sign of sun damage. As we age, freckles become darker and more prominent, turning into age spots (also known as "liver spots") on the chest, arms and hands.
Freckles occur frequently on light, fine skin - especially when it's exposed to prolonged sunlight. Although most freckles are small, they will grow and run together after years of exposure to harmful sunrays.

I only have two freckles on my face, but one of them is really embarassing to me ... it's on the tip of my nose, and it totally brings down my self-esteem level. I always think that people are looking at my freckle instead of my eyes....help mee!!!!

Lots of us have traits that we don't want: freckles, thin/thick hair, red/black/blonde hair, big feet, cricked nose, small ears, etc. There are some things that you can't change like the size of your feet, ears, or genetic traits. However, you can cover the up, make them less noticeable, or make them look better!
For example, if your ears are too big or small, hide them with your hair, or put really nice earrings on (or even get another hole)!
With freckles, remove most of them with lemon juice, and then put a tanner on & then put foundation on.

okay, well i heard the lemon juice works, you just take a cotton swab and put the lemon juice wherever there is a freckle but dont put it on your face where there is NO freckles or it will lighten up your face.. !

Ok, freckles are very annoying. If you are born with the trait or gene of getting freckles, then there is almost nothing that you can do. Just deal with it. We all have to--and we're not alone! We can't have perfect tanned skin and no freckles. It just doesn't work that way. Sorry to bring down your spirits. :(

I don't care for freckles. I think they distract the skin's origonal beauty. There is one way that I know to get rid of freckles: lemon juice. Take a cotton swab and put lemon juice JUST on the freckles or else it will lighten your whole entire face. If not, i'd see a doctor who could give you some good advice in getting rid of freckles.

I have feckles and I would like to get rid of them so my face can be clear. People tell me that the freckles look cute on my face but I don't see it. No one else in my family on my mom side has freckles. Just on my dad side! How do i cope with them? Is freckles hereditary?
