ive been using a mixture of equal parts of ACV, lemon juice, and honey on my face and neck to lighten freckles (which does and is working for me), but since its sticky i remove it after about 15-20 minutes. somenights i sleep with some on my face and rinse it off when i wake up.
and i have a question: ive heard that once your freckles have been "bleached," when you go into the sun they return darker and bolder than before (i do where sunscreen daily though). does anyone know anything about this?

age spots: the lemon juice absolutely works. I just cut a really small piece off a lemon each day-squeezed/ pressed as much juice as I was able to into a small bowk and rubbed it on my entire face twice a day. Within a week I notice the age spots fading -within 2 weeks they were gone. Now I use it once a day after washing my face just as a preventative measure. Its easy to do and it really works.

I have found a very simple way to remove freckles and even out skin tone..Before going to bed at night I would take a lemon and rub the cut lemon over clean skin where the freckles are or uneven skin color is..I try to saturate the skin and let it dry I do this every night it is a slow process but after two months almost all the freckles that covered my chest have faded away..If you use it on your face it helps shrink larger pores too Try this on elbows, knees and heels of feet.. It has made my skin look younger and at age 52 many people take me for wbout 10-15 years younger.
