Prevention of freckles:

Since the severity of freckles is due to a person’s genetic background, the magnitude of prevention is only aimed in minimizing the amount of melanin production by:

• Avoiding the peak sun hours which are from 10 o’clock in the morning to 4 o’clock in the afternoon (10 a.m.-4 p.m)
• Using sunscreen products. It is advised to atleast use products having an SPF (sun protection factor) of 30.
• Using sun-protective clothing such as long-sleeved shirts and long pants.
• Using wide-brimmed hates to protect the sensitive skin on the face.
