Use a blow torch to remove them. Sure it's gonna be painful, but just watch those freckles melt away!

I'm pretty sure freckles are connected to your brain. If you remove them, you die

Freckles are actually caused by too much exposure to the outside world. Solution: build a bubble and live inside it. This will also remove that annoying need for social interaction.

 

[Pluvia's other account]

Buy a really big umbrella. Stay under it for about a week, then rub lemon juice on your face.

A few years ago, some Australian celebrity said in an interview that she used to have lots of freckles but something happened where she had to stay inside for a long time (long time illness or something) and her freckles slowly went away. The interviewer even had a photo of her a few years younger in which she had a fairly moderate amount of freckles to compare with her current appearance which was crystal clear skin.

So yeah, just play WoW for a few months and your freckle problem should go away.

Ask Lindsay Lohan, she had a ton of freckles but I guess the drugs and alcohol made them abandon ship.

Soak yourself in Rum for 2 months. I'm glad I don't have freckles

My arms and face are littered with them. People really don't care seeing as I have black hair, making it a bit of an anomaly. I forget I have them after a while. Getting the removed will be extremely noticeable though.

I have tons on my shoulders. You won't be able to find one on my face or arms, though.

Yea what really causes freckles anyway? People are saying being outside but I don't think that is 100%

A freckle is high concentration of melanin in an area, brought about and encouraged through exposure to the sun.

i.e. Being outside.

They'll slowly disappear as you get older but they'll never all go away.

Any treatment that removes them gives you cancer, so don't try. Home remedies are BS.

You don't get more freckles being in the sun because

1. sun doesn't highly concentrate melanin in an area

It just gives you a tan and darker freckles.

Freckles are hereditary and stem from your genealogical background.

The nature of having freckles AT ALL is hereditary, but exposure to the sun WILL increase the appearance of freckles.

Sun rays trigger the production of melanin in skin layers. So, obviously, as Sun exposure increases so does freckle count.

I have several very large, visible freckles on my face. They're the bumpy kind, and they're mostly on one side, making my face seem unbalanced. In fact, they're more a cross between birthmarks and freckles. Actually, I think they are birthmarks. I've always thought of them as freckles before this moment.

Wow, epiphany on Smashboards.

But I don't mind them at all. I don't know why you would want to get rid of them. For me, they're not just a part of me, they just don't exist, because they don't matter, if you get what I'm saying. I guess that once you start just being fine with the way you look, you won't feel unattractive, and you won't feel a need to do things like remove freckles.

I'm not saying you're vain or overly concerned about your appearance. And there's certainly nothing wrong with trying to look better. I'm just saying that my system seems to work for me.
