Nothing much is going to get rid of your freckles. Chemical peels or bleach like MJ. Both are probably very bad for your skin.
You should embrace them! Freckles are heaps cute.

they should sort of fade that way.
but honestly, my advice is to learn to love them. why do you want to spend sooo much time of your life trying to remove something that is almost impossible to control? trust me, one day you might not have time/forget to put on sunscreen & the second you get in the sun they may all come back. i tried to control mine but then i realized i was spending more time worrying about freckles then being out having fun!

I used to hate my freckles when I was younger, the good news is that they will eventually fade. They do not bother me at all anymore, but I know how you feel…
I would always put face lotion on in the morning that had 35 spf in it. The sun will make them darker without sunscreen. I’m not sure about the lemon juice…it may bleach your entire face meaning that your skin will get lighter & your freckles will get lighter but your freckles will still be darker than your skin. Does that make sense?
So I would just stick to the sunscreen & wear bare minerals foundation. It covers up freckles without looking like you have makeup on!

Silly girl! Lol
You CAN’T get rid of them, no matter WHAT you do !!!
It’s part of you & your gene/DNA structure, so it has obviously passed down to you from your mother or father, so basically it runs through your family! And of course “lemon juice” aint gonna remove it!
What’s stronger, your DNA structure that runs through your genes & has been passed down to you from your family or “Lemon Juice” ???
EXACLTY!!
And it’s not THAT bad, in fact, it’s considered to be a sign of beauty!
Unfortunatley, it’s one of those things that you can’t change, like your skin colour.
You can’t get RID of your freckles, but perhaps, you can try HIDING them??? Like apply some foundation/bronzer & it might not be seen that much. Good Luck!

One of the most time tested methods for fading freckles is the application of lemon juice. You simply need to apply a small amount to the freckles you desire to disappear. Leave on your face for 15 minutes. (You will likely feel a burning sensation, but the effort will be well worth the discomfort). When the time is up, gently rinse the juice from your face & apply your favorite moisturizer, as the lemon juice tends to dry out your face.
Applying sour milk to your face acts as a gentle peel to lessen the contrast of freckles scattered about. Lactic acid is the active ingredient here, & it may be used in combination with the lemon juice method.
Here is a method for those adventurous souls. Mix parsley juice with equal amounts of lemon juice, orange juice, & red currant juice. Apply the mixture to your face, underneath your favorite cream. This concoction will help to camouflage freckles.
