When you\u2019re young, it\u2019s endearing to have freckles. As you get older, if you\u2019re a woman, you\u2019ll likely use makeup to cover them up. Those who have never had freckles may find as they age that they\u2019ve developed age spots and they want to get rid of them. Here\u2019s how to lighten age spots with lemon juice.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Whether you have freckles or not, sunlight can darken age spots and make them more noticeable. Using lemon juice is a natural way to lighten age spots rather than using harmful chemicals to remove them.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

# 1 \u2013 Exfoliate your skin regularly to diminish the look of age spots or freckles. After exfoliating, rub a cut lemon and 1\/2 teaspoon sugar over the skin for several minutes. Do this once a week and you\u2019ll soon notice the spots are fading.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

#2 \u2013 Take a slice of lemon and apply it directly to the area you want lightened. Leave the lemon there for a minimum of ten minutes. Repeat this once a week will make the spot fade.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t try to rush the process when using lemon juice to lighten age spots. Any treatment, natural or otherwise, will likely take at least two weeks before you notice a difference. The age spots didn\u2019t appear over night, it\u2019s unlikely they\u2019ll disappear that quickly.<\/p>\n

Remember, while you\u2019re trying to reduce the appearance of age spots or freckles by using lemon juice, it\u2019s important to limit the amount of sun exposure your skin gets. If you go to the tanning bed or spend a lot of time outdoors, you\u2019re defeating the purpose of trying to reduce the spots. Give your skin a chance by staying out of the sun as much as possible<\/p>\n

Of course, the best way to lighten age spots is to avoid them altogether. Protect your skin by using a sunscreen throughout the year, not only during the summer. By putting on a sunscreen, you will protect your skin from the harmful UVA and UVB rays which lead to more serious conditions than sunspots or freckles.<\/p>\n
