Luckily, you can do many things to help fade them. The freckles likely occurred due to many years of sun exposure. Don’t expect them to fade away overnight. You will have to be dedicated to the fading process. If you work hard and have patience, you can achieve the results you desire. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Protect your shoulders from the sun. Wear shirts and tops that completely cover your shoulders. Choose UV-resistant fabrics if possible. If your shoulders are exposed to the sun, fully cover them with broad spectrum sunscreen.
2. Wash your shoulders with a cleanser that contains Vitamin C. If you do so regularly, you'll notice the skin becomes brighter and more even toned.
3. Wash your shoulders with a loofah and body scrub. Regular scrubbing aids in skin cell regeneration. New skin cells are then seen more quickly. The new cells contain less sun damage (and fewer freckles) than the older skin cells.
4. Apply a lightening cream to your shoulders. You can find various bleaching creams available over-the-counter in drug stores. For faster results, talk to your dermatologist about prescription creams.
5. Get microdermabrasion on your shoulders. A professional technician will use a small buffing device to remove the superficial layers of skin there. The skin below will be younger-looking and less damaged. Your freckles will look significantly lighter.
6. Rub lemon juice on your shoulders. Allow the juice to remain there for half an hour before rinsing it off with cool water. The lemon juice's acidity will react with the freckles. Over time, this process is known to lighten the freckles.
7. Soak a cloth in sour milk and rub it on your shoulders. This home remedy has been shown to fade freckles.
