Summer days in the sun can make freckles and age spots more pronounced–at least, they‘ve sure done that to me. I now have a lavish amount of both, so I looked for a good natural way to lighten them that wouldn’t contain harmful chemicals. And I found one!
Wise beauties have used this one kitchen-cupboard ingredient for centuries to make their skin look smooth and flawless. Find the secret to lightening age spots and freckles naturally here.
Lemon juice is the key to lightening age spots and freckles. Its powerful acid action really does the trick. Here are two methods for using lemon juice:
1. To exfoliate dead skin and diminish the appearance of freckles and age spots, gently rub a cut lemon and 1/2 teaspoon sugar granules over the skin for a few minutes. Repeat at least once a week until the darkened areas fade.
2. Or–simply sit with a slice of lemon applied directly to the area for ten minutes. Repeat once a week until spots fade.

+ add your ownWhat the hell is wrong or amiss with freckles or other spots, or blemishes on skin? There is NO consistent, single tone of skin on the human body, unless you're a work of plastic...
Thank you for sharing.
Will give this a try!
Have heard of this but want to know the time involved first.
Umm thanks . NOT too sure I will bank on this one ...but much appreciated regardless.
Has this worked for anyone ? Has anyone seen a difference ?
Does it take over a year to see the difference ?
I bought a very expensive skin cream and have not noticed any improvement.
Interesting! TY
