I have found a very simple way to remove freckles and even out skin tone..Before going to bed at night I would take a lemon and rub the cut lemon over clean skin where the freckles are or uneven skin color is..I try to saturate the skin and let it dry I do this every night it is a slow process but after two months almost all the freckles that covered my chest have faded away..If you use it on your face it helps shrink larger pores too Try this on elbows, knees and heels of feet.. It has made my skin look younger and at age 52 many people take me for wbout 10-15 years younger.

just curious about the lemon juice when it got dry, did you rinse it out or leave it overnight? ching

I would also like to know if it should be rinsed off, (same for ACV) or should I just let it dry and then go ahead and apply my moisturizer. Any direction here is appreciated.

ive been using a mixture of equal parts of ACV, lemon juice, and honey on my face and neck to lighten freckles (which does and is working for me), but since its sticky i remove it after about 15-20 minutes. somenights i sleep with some on my face and rinse it off when i wake up.

and i have a question: ive heard that once your freckles have been "bleached," when you go into the sun they return darker and bolder than before (i do where sunscreen daily though). does anyone know anything about this?

Hi to answer your question about if being in the sun makes freckles, age spots darker. I'd say no... I went to the beach just recently and my little freckes didnt get bigger. I use lemon juice daily and walk in the daytime when its sunny and I feel more energy and the freckles are going away. best of luck to you.

Does anyone know if I can use lime instead as that is what we have readily available here in the carribean. Lemons are expensive here and by the time it gets to the stores they are old and wrinkled, and not fresh.
