"Hi I'm Kim with Simply Beautiful in Austin, Texas and I'm going to talk about how to reduce freckles. I love freckles. I think freckles are beautiful. I think reducing freckles, I can show you how to do it but if you try to hide them with makeup you are just going to have too much makeup on so let your beauty show. Freckles are part of you, good. There are lots of products on the market that will help you to lighten the freckles. What I want you to do is first cleanse your skin. I'm just using a light toner on Alena just to demonstrate to you getting your skin clean. There are products on the market at all price points. You can get them at the drug store, there is Ambi at Fashion Fare they have one called Vantex that is also very very effective. You can get Clarence has a great one and Lancomme has a great one. What you will want to do is spot treat. Find the freckles that you are most concerned with, take a little bit of the product on your ring finger and just dab. That's it, just dab it on. Monitor it because those areas that you are putting the product on is going to get lighter than the areas that you don't put it on so you want to try to keep it in balance. It is going to be tricky but do it a couple of times a day and they'll fade gradually but I want to say to you it is very important that you keep a sun screen on while you are in this process. Well always keep a sun screen on your skin but if you don't keep a sun screen on your skin while you are lightening your freckles it won't do any good at all. Keep a sun screen on."
