- 1). Fade your freckles with lemon juice. Lemons are a natural bleaching agent. Cut a lemon into thin slices and place them on the backs of your hands. Let the lemon slices sit for about 10 minutes, and then remove them. Rinse your hands with warm water and pat dry. Repeat once a week until freckles fade away.
- 2). Purchase an over-the-counter fade cream for your freckles. Most fade creams contain hydroquinone, which lightens dark spots and fades freckles. Apply the product twice a day for several weeks to your freckles for noticeable results.
- 3). Apply some alpha hydroxy acids to your hand freckles. These powerful acids shed old cells faster, which allows new undamaged skin cells to appear. Freckles will appear lighter and less noticeable. You can find alpha hydroxy cleansers, serums or lotions at most pharmacies.
- 4). Buy some sun protective gloves. They come with or without fingers and are made from special light weight UV protective fabric. Wear them whenever you are exposed to the sun for long periods of time. You can purchase sun protective gloves from many stores online.
- 5). Talk with your dermatologist about removing your freckles. If you are still uncomfortable with your freckles, your doctor can discuss treatment options, like laser surgery, to permanently remove them from your hands.
