There are times when I suddenly notice my freckles more when I wash my face in the morning and look in the mirror, or when I'm applying makeup. I used to have almost no blemishes, but at some point, I started noticing the pale brown shadows that had settled on my cheeks and around my eyes.

At first, I tried covering it up with makeup, but as time went by, it seemed to get darker and darker, which stressed me out.

So today, I'm going to explain everything from the causes of freckles on the face, to home care and prevention methods for freckle management, and even dermatological procedures to remove freckles!

1. Causes of facial freckles

According to Severance Hospital's health information, melasma is a pigmentation disorder that causes brown or gray spots to appear on the skin. These spots typically appear on the cheeks, forehead, and nose, and are typically concentrated in the central part of the face. The causes of melasma are as follows:

 

1) UV rays

UV rays are identified as a cause of facial freckles. They stimulate the cells that produce melanin, the dark pigment found in the skin, which in turn causes freckles. These freckles can become even more pronounced during the summer months, when UV rays are particularly strong.

 

2) Hormonal influence

It's said that hormonal influences can also cause melasma. Pregnancy or taking birth control pills can cause melasma because female hormones increase and melanin production increases.

 

3) Other factors

Besides these, melasma can also be caused by genetic factors, and certain medications can worsen melasma. Furthermore, environmental factors like stress can also trigger melasma.

2. Home Care Facial Freckle Management and Prevention

If you're concerned about your facial blemishes, it's important to take steps to manage and prevent them at home. Here are some home care methods for managing and preventing blemishes.

 

1) UV protection

The most important thing for managing and preventing freckles is UV protection. Because sunlight exposure contributes to freckle development, it's crucial to diligently apply sunscreen and use parasols, hats, and other protective gear to block UV rays.

Using a melasma ampoule for home care can also be helpful. Meladuce Brightening Ampoule contains niacinamide, a whitening ingredient, which can help manage dull skin tone.

3. Facial Freckle Removal Dermatological Treatment

If you find it difficult to remove facial freckles with home care alone, you can seek help from a dermatologist. Here are some dermatological procedures that can help manage freckles.

4. Q&A

1) Why do freckles on my face keep appearing and getting darker?

Facial freckles aren't a one-time problem; they can become more pronounced with repeated exposure to UV rays, hormones, or skin irritation. It's especially important to be cautious, as the darkening can occur if you don't protect yourself from UV rays.

 

2) Is it possible to remove facial freckles with home care alone?

: Using freckle ampoules and the like can help manage and prevent freckles, but if freckles are already deeply ingrained, concurrent dermatological treatment can help improve them.
