Get Rid of Freckles

Many people with freckles are looking for ways to get rid of them. On the other hand, they are also becoming a fashion trend as people add fake freckles to their makeup looks. However, CellaBeauty has laid down easy ways you can manage your freckles if they interfere with your confidence or bother you in any way. Continue reading this piece if you want to get rid of your freckles through simple, easy methods.
 
What are Freckles, Exactly?
Of course, you can recognize freckles on your body, but do you know what they really are? The term freckles refer to tan-colored or light brown spots that begin appearing on the skin, usually in clusters. Even though freckles may be genetic, no one is ever born with freckles. This suggests that they appear as you age, with factors triggering their appearance.
 
Freckles are made out of skin cell clusters that contain the common skin pigment called melanin. They are quite similar to moles in appearance, except being flat and inside the skin. While freckles are neither painful nor harmful, they are often a result of sun exposure.
 
Like open pores, acne, wrinkles, blemishes, and patchy skin, it is hard to get rid of freckles completely. They are as stubborn as they could possibly get. However, following a few simple steps can start showing results in some time.
 
Get Rid of Freckles
If you want to get rid of freckles on your face, chest, or back, here are a few easy ways to consider.
 
Sunscreen
As we already mentioned, freckles are a result of overexposure to the sun. While sunscreen can’t help get rid of freckles, it can definitely prevent future freckles.
 
Make sure you always wear your sunscreen before stepping out of the house, even on days when the weather is cloudy. According to the American Academy of Dermatology,

  • You should wear sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or above
  • It is important to apply sunscreen at least 15 minutes before going under the sun
  • Reapplying sunscreen every 2 hours is necessary

 
Laser Treatment
Laser treatment focuses on targeting melanin, a skin pigment. It uses pulses of intense, focused light of specific wavelengths on affected areas of the skin. According to studies, a laser can effectively treat freckles by reducing their appearance or even completely eliminating them at times.
 
According to a study conducted in 2015, laser treatment was successful at lightening more than half of the freckles in 62% of participants. It is a generally safe and painless treatment with few side effects. Although quite effective, laser treatment only starts showing results after a few sessions.
 
Topical Creams
Topical creams can also be helpful in reducing the appearance of freckles and lightening their color. You can use fading creams (creams with bleaching agents) if you want faster results. These bleaching creams contain ingredients like hydroquinone that suppress melanin production.
 
However, bleaching creams can have some side effects, including skin discoloration, burning, inflammation, etc. If your skin is sensitive, you might want to go with restoration and repair creams like the Facial Regeneration Cream by CellaBeauty. This cream does not pose any skin damage risks and shows effective results.
