The whole world
appears happy when spring comes. All is blooms and revives to life. However,
the spring brings visible, yet unpleasant surprise for some girls. This is freckles.
How come they appear? What for? Some experts believe that freckles are the
defensive reaction of the cutaneous skin to the high concentration of UV rays.
Most often freckles are found with people who have pale complexion. As a fact,
blondes and red-haired people abundantly enjoy freckles every spring unlike dark-haired
people.
What are freckles?
Is it good or bad to have them? How they look like, attractive or so-so? The
opinions differ, indeed. Some people find freckles attractive, naïve as with
children. The others believe that freckles spoil even the most beautiful face
making it hopeless. There is a particular group of people who do not mind of
the freckles though these spots do not add special charm to their professional
image. Yet, you'd better bear in mind some recommendations if you think that
freckles spoil your image anyway.
So, you
strongly believe that your face and freckles is two things that do not match,
then you go and take some steps to prevent freckles. What you need is good and
quality sun cream. Sun creams are suitable for both women and men. The lighter the
skin, the higher is SPF, the numerical factor of the sun cream which tells the
extent to which your skin absorbs the ultraviolet rays. In case if the skin strongly
tends to freckles, you start using the sun cream since March or April depending
on the climatic factors of the region where you live. Apply the cream 30
minutes before you go out, not less. As an alternative, have a wide-brimmed summer
hat on you. This is good only for women, surely, though the hat will make a
woman charming and elegant.
Any type of
skin suffers from strong solar radiation. Thus, if you reasonably need to go
out in the sun, you go but consider the recommendations above. If you have the
option to sit up in shadow during the high solar activity (from 11 a.m. till 15 p.m.) then it
is the best solution. On the top of it, the specialists recommend that you consume
more Vitamin C containing foodstuff which suspends production of melanin, the
pigmental substance that freckles consist of.
Let's
assume that the sun was strong enough and it left its marks on your face. What to
do then? The wide assortment of current bleaching lotions and creams is good to
experiment with. And you need to know the type of your skin and be patient to
have the effective results. It takes time for freckles to fade, sometimes up to
several weeks. You need to consider that every bleaching procedure decreases
the resistance of the skin to sun burns, thus make sure you do not go out in
the day time once you applied creams and lotions, and otherwise do it in the
evenings.
There are also
folk remedies widely used in the public that effectively struggle with
freckles. Broth made from fresh parsley drawn within three hours at least is
one of the effective things to remove freckles. Soak a cotton swab into the
broth and wipe your face in the morning and in the evening. Also the broth from
the dandelion roots proved to be very effective in practice. Such herbs as
milfoil, licorice and bearberry are also known as effective. Slices of fresh cucumber
applied to the face definitely bleach the spots. Cucumber juice is more effective,
though. Citric acid has a good bleaching effect but it can cause irritation to the
skin, thus wash the mask out in half an hour or less and apply nutrient cream. Many
girls struggle with their freckles with the help of berries. They apply the juice
of the redcurrant and strawberry to the problem zones twice a day and wash them
in ten minutes.
Also the
specialists recommend that you visit the dermatological salon and beauty salons
at some time. The beauticians will advise on how to remove freckles and will
give you some recommendations how to treat with your skin. In case if you applied
all possible procedures and folk remedies without any visible effect, then you
might want to apply for having chemical peeling procedure, phototherapy or
laser procedures.
