With the arrival of adolescence, various parts of a girl's body undergo changes. Especially the face, besides the appearance of acne, there are also freckles. Freckles, although not painful or itchy, can affect a person's appearance and often cause distress for teenagers, especially girls. Many girls are afraid of their fair faces being covered in freckles. Therefore, people who have freckles hope to remove or reduce them. So, what are freckles?
Freckles are common pigmentation on the face, usually yellowish or brownish in color, appearing as round, oval, or irregular spots. They mainly concentrate on the face, especially on the area from the eyes to the cheeks, often appearing after the age of 6 or 7, and are most noticeable during adolescence. The degree of freckles can vary under the influence of ultraviolet radiation. Sun exposure in summer intensifies the color of freckles, while they tend to lighten in winter.
Freckles are a skin condition that is difficult to cure and is closely related to genetics and endocrine factors. General medication or cosmetic freckle removal methods are difficult to achieve complete eradication, so medication treatment is not necessary. Freckles occur due to an increase in melanin in the body, which accumulates in the basal cells of the skin. This melanin is derived from tyrosine and is oxidized and polymerized under the catalysis of tyrosinase. The formation of freckles may be related to factors such as genetics, constitution, and exposure. Whether freckles appear congenitally or acquired, they are closely related to genetic factors. Ultraviolet radiation in sunlight is also the culprit for aggravating freckles, so some patients may find that their freckles are more pronounced in summer and lighter in winter.
In general, drugs used to treat freckles do not affect the development of girls. However, the effectiveness of medication in treating freckles is generally limited and does not have a significant impact. The most effective method for treating freckles is laser freckle removal. However, even with this method, freckles will reappear after a period of time. It is just a feasible and effective method compared to other methods.
Although treating freckles is not easy, they can be prevented or controlled through a series of methods to avoid their worsening. When people find that they have freckles, especially when children develop freckles on their faces, attention should be paid to facial hygiene and care to prevent freckles from increasing with age.
How to prevent freckles from worsening?
(1) Take sun protection measures. Girls should avoid direct sunlight. When going out in spring and summer, they should wear sun hats and apply sunscreen. Excessive use of topical medications should be avoided to prevent skin damage.
(2) Regular routines and a positive mood help prevent freckles from worsening.

At the same time, girls can also learn some skincare tips. For example, using clean eggplant skin to apply on the face can make freckles less noticeable after a period of time. Lemons contain a large amount of vitamin C, calcium, phosphorus, iron, etc. Drinking lemon juice with sugar water can not only whiten the skin but also help remove freckles.
Even if freckles cannot be completely cured, girls don't have to be upset. Freckles can be cute too. In fact, true beauty comes from within. Filling oneself with knowledge is the fundamental way to make oneself beautiful!
