Are Freckles like Dark Spots where they are skin damage? ?

Question

Trying to figure out whether to use skin damage cream/revitalizing/antiaging creams. Are freckles an aging thing or is it simply a skin dark spot in which what cream is good to LIGHTEN them???

I tried lemon juice it didn't work. To high of SPF suntan lotion gives me a rash since my cheeks can get flushed quickly. Any advice please?

And NO freckles are not HOT (I've read other posts on here) if you seen my freckles you wouldn't think so.

And I don't want it costly so won't go to do laser cosmetic surgery. I just want to simply lighten them or even my face skin tone out so it doesn't look like patches everywhere.

Answer 1

Freckles aren't the same thing and those cosmetics will not work on them.  There are much stronger things but if you think sunscreen burns, forget about it, and they're only available through a dermatologist, like the Obagi line.

Answer 2

Freckles are not damage, they're in your genes.

Answer 3

I'm sorry, but I have NEVER seen freckles on a girl's face that were not HOT!  The more noticeable the freckles, the HOTTER they look.  If you don't believe me then you'd better check out the web site dedicated to women with freckles and the guys who love them.  There's tons of pictures of freckled women there, and I bet they have even more freckles than you do.  After reviewing how much us guys love freckles, then decide whether or not you even know what you're talking about!

Oh, and to answer your question, freckles are NOT skin damage, they are in fact, a skin tone just like being Black, or Brown.  Freckles tend to increase as you age through your teenage years, then began to fade through adulthood.  The sun will make your freckles darker, because freckles are simply an uneven tan, and darken as any tan will when exposed to the sunlight.

If you have dark spots that do not act like this, then they are not freckles, and us freckle-lovers may not like them, but you have to determine if they are freckles or not first.  Now check out the web site:

Answer 4

Some freckles are genetic, some are actually scarring and some are the result of sun damage.  Any darkening of the skin caused by the sun is skin damage.

Most of the products that work are going to cost you.  DDF Lightening Gel, PCA Skin Pigment Gel are all over $50.  Japanese lighteners are apparently really good.

There are any number of natural "cures" that people claim work, like lemon, but there are no guarantees.
