Facial scraping, as a method of facial beauty, is well known among beauty lovers. Some people also use it to remove freckles. So can facial scraping really remove freckles? And if so, what is the correct way to perform it?
Can facial scraping remove freckles?
Facial scraping can indeed remove freckles.
Moderate facial scraping (not every day) can improve the circulation of facial blood vessels, increase the circulation of blood, lymphatic fluid, and body fluid, accelerate the blood circulation of facial cells, and reduce the deposition of melanin in the face, thereby removing facial spots caused by the deposition of melanin.
The reason behind facial scraping for freckle removal
Although facial spots come in many different types, they are often related to the inability to eliminate melanin. When melanin cannot be eliminated, it will deposit on the face, forming dark spots, freckles, melasma, etc. Facial scraping can stimulate many important acupoints on the face, improve the circulation of tiny blood vessels under the facial skin, accelerate cell metabolism, nourish the entire face with blood, accelerate the shedding of dead cells, and achieve the effect of removing accumulated melanin in the face, naturally reducing and even eliminating facial spots.

Precautions for facial scraping for freckle removal
