About freckles................ I am now 33 and the majority have severely lessened - I hated mine. Firstly, before a holiday (abroad) I always use Gatineux 'Tan Excelerator.' This is an absolutely brilliant product which gets your skin use to the sun and it also stops you burning (provided you of course use sun lotion whilst in the sun for a period of time) and stops my frecks coming out. It costs around twenty quid but gets you a tan so quickly and prevents freckles (the dot-to-dot type). Also, I have found by trial and error due to getting prickly heat, that Boots own brand stops the frecks really coming out. But I also think it is due to my age. They have certainly decreased and it could be due to the fact that you play out a lot when younger. I have also heard that fresh cut lemon squeezed on the face 'burns out' freckles and did try this, but be sensible and only do this for about 5 mins before applying sun screen. Also, just whilst on the subject of sun screen - I found out a fact which I never knew. If you burn in the sun, applying or reapplying sun screen DOES NOT STOP YOU BURNING FURTHER. I thought it prevented burning full stop - so be careful.
