How to Get Rid of Freckles at Home
Freckles are formed due to amalgamation of group of pigments called melanin on your skin. These pigments are responsible for providing color to your skin and hence their presence in clusters at one spot causes darkening of that area and appearance of freckles. Freckles are not a cosmetic disorder but it appears on the skin, which does not contain sufficient amount of photo protective melanin. Freckles that vanish with the reduction to sun exposure are called Ephelides. Freckles, which are formed after years of exposure to sun, are called lentigines and are common in aged people. Thus exposure to sun light causes freckles to form and can be controlled by avoiding such exposure or using sun blocks protecting from UV-rays. However, some useful and convenient home remedies are also available to get rid of Freckles.
