I have freckles on my arms and I want them gone! They bug me so bad I was wondering if anyone had a solution on fading or lighting them?Would fading creams that are used for brown spots, ect. work on freckles?
I personally think freckles are adorable...
But no fade cream would not make your freckles go away, in fact it can make them worse in the long run. People who get freckles easily tend to get more in the sun, and fade creams make your skin more vulnerable to the sun's rays, meaning your freckles are more likely to get darker and it is likely you'll get more if you're out in the sun.
reduce future freckles by using sunscreen all the time!Would fading creams that are used for brown spots, ect. work on freckles?
I鈥檓 a beauty therapist and only know of one way of removing freckles and that is by using laser (IPL, VPL, SPL etc.) this is a pigment remover (it is also a permanent hair removal system) that works on the pigment in the skin by heating up the cells and killing them off. The only down side is the cost and that it doesn鈥檛 always work and can also make your freckles worse
But I think that freckles are beautiful; don鈥檛 get me wrong when I was in my teens I hated mine but now (23 years old) I have grown to love them, I hope you will be able to also.
Hope this helps you ;-)
what might work for you is the lemons. try this
1Squeeze one whole lemon into a small bowl, be sure to strain out the pits.
Step 2 Add one tablespoon of powdered borax and one tablespoon of sugar to the mixture.
Step 3 Mix thoroughly and set the mixture aside for three days.
Step 4 Apply the mixture to the face (or area that has freckles) with a brush.
Step 5 Wash the lemon bleach off of your face after twenty or twenty five minutes.
Tips %26amp; Warnings
Moisturize the face before and after the treatment to prevent excessive drying of the skin!
there are also aveeno ';anti-aging'; products, meant to reverse things like freckles and dark spots.
hope this helped :)

Spots all over my face! How do I get rid of them by saturday?
Hello, I'm going out with the guy of my dreams on saturday and he's going to run a mile when he sees my face.
How do I get rid of my spots by then?
I really need your help!
Thanks :]Spots all over my face! How do I get rid of them by saturday?
I am a Registered Nurse and I specialize in skin care and teen acne.
After 12 years in this profession I find that most of my patients who deal with acne or brekout problems DO NOT SEE RESULTS from commercial products sold at drung stores or the mall. They usually contain too much benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid or sulfur which tends to OVER DRY the skin and cause itching or irritations.
Also, home remedies such as lemon juice or alcohol or toothpaste SHOULD NEVER BE USED because they cause small tears in the skin and leave the skin more susceptible to bacteria that causes pimples or acne.
Your question is very broad and you need to get professional advice. I will explain why it's a broad question!
Your age plays a role! Do you always have breakouts?
However, acne can result from several factors such an increase in hormone levels. In males testosterone or androgens. In females, androgens respectively. The increase in androgen levels can stimulate the oil glands to become enlarged and thus more oil production is produced. An increased oil production can clog the pores with oil or sebum ( white thick substance) which cause the cell walls of the pores in the skin to breakdown. This process allows bacteria to form and thus breakouts develop.
Genetics may also be a cause. It is a myth that greasy food or chocolate causes breakouts.
However, using make-up sponges that are not changed or washed often can contaminate the pores with bacteria which may develop into acneic breakouts.
Teenagers going through hormonal and growth changes are prone to acne.
If you have severe breakouts than you might need medication. There are many factors.
The most important thing is that you need products that are AGE APPROPRIATE! Every age group has different products appropriate for them. If you are young than you need milder products as to not dry out your beautiful young skin.
The problem with commercial skin products is that they are manufactured for MASSES OF PEOPLE and are not specifically made for different peoples' needs.
Your skin type is different than mine and your age differs from mine so how is it logical that we both use the same skin product for breakouts. We need different strengths of cleansers and toners. Do you kind of understand what I am getting at?
Here is my STRONG SUGGESTION for you. I refer all my students and patients to this website:
www.aboutyourskincare.com
You need to consult with professionals and on this website YOU CAN ASK QUESTIONS FOR FREE AND A SKIN EXPERT/PHYSICIAN WILL ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS. It would be a shame if you dont take advantage of this free service.
Lastly, they have incredible products for breakouts and they make them specifically for every kind of skin type. That means that if your breakouts are more severe than mine, than while we both will buy the same product yours will have stronger ingredients than mine will.
They have a mild glycolic acid cleanser that's great for your type of skin and also a DRYING LOTION ( I have 3 bottles) that you put directly on your breakouts and the next day it's gone. It's truely magic in a bottle.
A basic guideline for properly taking care of your skin is this ( now if you're a young girl you will need fewer products than this):
Night time:
1. Exfoliate the skin
2. Mild Glycolic Acid Cleanser
3. Mild Glycolic Acid Toner ( cleans off the excess debris and balances the PH level of the skin).
4. Drying Lotion used only on breakouts
5. Moisturizer
Morning:
1. Mild Glycolic Acid Cleanser
2. Moisturizing cream
The above is a standard you may need to only use one or two products. Visit: www.aboutyourskincare.com

Snap! Well sorta...hehe i'm seeing my bf(dream guy) on tuesday :)
And i have VERY little acne like just tiny bits on my forehead and chin and what i've been doing for the past week has worked REALLY well!
1) WATER! key thing!! drink 6- 8 glasses every day!!
2) Don't touch your face! Pick or anything!
3) No junk food at all! Nothing salty or with alot of sugar, in other words stick to your veggies and fruits ( Anything with Vitamin C is great for skin :)
4) Wash your face twice a day!
5) Don't put any makeup on til the day if you really must
6) Stress is the WORST thing ever for skin so things like taking calm baths with lavender scent and doing things like yoga are great for relaxing
7) Use a mask every so often
Hope that helped :)

Dont buy anything it just empties your wallet most of them dont work atall.
Make sure you NEVER! pop it it will cause bruising or scarring.. Try a piece of ice. This reduces swelling and redness, and also makes it to where you are not able to see the pimple nearly as well.
Drink lots and lots of water. Water helps the skin to remove toxins that may cause acne. Also try using lemon juice to wash your face.
If you have honey and cinnamon then make a mixture of 1 陆 tablespoons of honey and 陆 teaspoon of cinnamon. Apply to face before going to bed. Wash it off in the morning. This may help to dry out a pimple. (Honey and Cinnamon have been linked to many different home remedies for many different ailments)
another thing is
Things You'll Need
- 3 or more cotton balls
- Lukewarm tap water
- Cup to hold the water in
- Salt
1. Salt the water thoroughly -- much more than you think it needs.
2. Dip one cotton ball in the salt water.
3. Wait for 30 - 60 seconds.
4. Squeeze out excess water out until it is damp, but not dripping.
5. Place the damp cotton ball over your large zit. If you have several of these grouped together, try to place the cotton ball over them all.
6. Glance at your watch/clock. Wait exactly three minutes.
7. Remove the cotton ball after the time is up. The zit seems to be nearly gone, but it is only the top that has dissolved. Your acne is still there.
8. Take the other two cotton balls and place them on either side of the despised pimple.
9. Slowly, move them closer together until the tiny bump is flattened. Congrats! You've just conquered that giant of a pimple -- forever!
10. Apply honey on the infected area %26amp; go to sleep!!
I didnt actually write that someone else told me but it works!
Hey in memory of gia 2007 you gave me that advice and if u readin i just wanna say thankyou because it helped :D
put a tab of tooth paste on each and everyone of ur spots (before u go to bed) do this for the next few days and by Saturday they will all be gone! ps. when you wake up the next morning make sure you wash ur face with warm water. and if this doesnt work try to cover them up with make up!
dab lemon juice over your entire face and go to sleep..when you wake rinse with warm water...if neeeded apply before you leave the house and put sunscreen on over after it dries

I over-plucked my eyebrows and there is a few bald spots. I need then to grow back in a month.?
I over-plucked my eyebrows and i need them to grow back in a month..there is some bald spots. what is a legitament way to make it grow back in a monthI over-plucked my eyebrows and there is a few bald spots. I need then to grow back in a month.?
There is none. grab an eyebrow pencil or powder and just fill them in.I over-plucked my eyebrows and there is a few bald spots. I need then to grow back in a month.?
really, none that im aware of anyways that really works. go to a drug store or makeup store and get a eyebrow liner pencil thats maybe 1 shade darker than your natural eyebrow color and make sure it doesnt out look the hair on your head! Other than that its just a waitting game!
Nothing, you will have to wait for them to grow back. What you can do in the meantime is get some waterproof mascara one that matches your hair color and brush your eyebrows with the mascara. I suggest waterproof in-case you sweat on your forehead or brow.
You can't. They'll have to grow on their own.
I'd try a clear eyebrow mascara--I bought some from E.L.F. for $1. Or if you want to be brace, you could use regular mascara on your brows...ask your sis or a friend for help but it's really not that hard.
there really is no way. if they look reallyy bad try coloring them in with eye liner. but make sure you do it when your alone so incase it looks bad, or you mess up, you cna wash it off and knowone will see
Rogain...you know the stuff that balding men use...apparently you can use it on eyebrows too.
Use a eyebrow filler or a dark eyeshadow.. if your a guy, since your name is kevin, maybe use your moms or something.
but they should grow back by thenn.
