Once more the only remedy is TO
resort TO bleaching.
Among the preparations we have
Tor bleaching freckles. are found
lemon juice. buttermilk. peroxide,
peroxide and ammonia and the many
already prepared blcaches offered by
manufacturers OF cosmetics.
Pure lemon juice Is the mildest OF
these bleaching agents and IL used
consistently Will work. However. it's
a matter OF applying the lemon Juice
several times each day. at least night
and morning. and this should be
done for a week or 30 before ex-
pecting results. The same Is true
with buttermilk. although either Of
these two mild preparations are the
safest and best to use. for. although
their action is mild and go slow
there need be no fear Of iniuring the
skin.
Peroxide frequently bleaches the
freckles more quickly than lemon
juice and buttermilk and IL may be
substituted without harm. Its
bleaching action Is stronger and
quicker than lemon juice and butter
milk and for this reason care should
be exercised in using It, Not that
II Is harmful IN the least but because
IL may leave tiny spots. which are
whittier than the general coloring Of
the skin. necessitating the entire
bleaching OF the face and throat
Other than that IL Is safe and sane.
Peroxide and ammonia. sometimes
used In cases where the freckles are
or long standing and are unusually
stubborn. Is reliable as a bleach. but
extreme caution should be used in
applying this preparation 10 the
face. To two tablespoonfuls OF water
add an equal amount or peroxide and
three drops OF household ammonia.
Beat the mixture until II Is cloudy
and then Il IS ready for use. BE
very careful however. not 10 apply
peroxide and ammonia too close TO
the eyes for the ammonia-sven the
fumes-is apt TO prove distressing.

beaches comes with each package

cry In the knack OF blending
two kinds OF the same type

makes It more appetizing to eye and
