How to get rid of freckles
Use lemon juice.
Lemon juice is a natural bleaching agent that can be used to make freckles look lighter and disappear. It works best on natural freckles, rather than freckles caused by sun exposure, since those tend to be darker and less uniform in appearance.
Buy a few fresh lemons and squeeze the juice into a bowl. You can also use pre-squeezed lemon juice.
