Caring for freckles
Posted on 23 April 2008 by admin
Freckles are tiny, black spots that tend to be sprinkled over your face, especially the nose, cheekbones and forehead, usually occurring in fairer people, due to excessive exposure to the sun.
For individuals vulnerable to freckles, the first thing to do is to avoid the sun. Use a heavy sunscreen whenever exposed to the sun, besides wearing a protective veil or sunglasses to shield yourself. To cure and lighten the freckles, it is also helpful to use face packs in a combination of lemon and turmeric, as both of these are lightening agents.
In addition, a freckled skin also needs intensive moisturizing. A generous combination of cleansers, creams and face masks containing extracts of aloe, cactus and seaweed need to be used. Besides, some beauty therapists have also found products like anti-freckles lotions and ointments to be highly effective for the treatment of freckles. Lastly, the most important step of keeping the skin dust-free is also equally important.
