Please don't try to lighten moles by yourself the only way to get it taken off is either surgery or by laser. Im sorry but its true you don't want to start putting stuff creams,lemon etc and start messing with the chemistry it can irritate your mole. The only thing you should be putting on them is sunscreen everyday to protect it from the sun's harmful uv rays which can cause skin cancer and skin ageing you especially have to be careful with moles and pay attention to the shape color and if its itchy which can be a sign of skin cancer.
As for your freckles some are caused by genetics eq: red hair/light hair blue eyes/light eyes/ pale skin and the other is all caused by sun damage. The sun has uv rays that penetrate deep into the skin this can possibly cause skin cancer if not wearing protection.
UVB rays are bronzing which gives you that tanned skin.
UVA rays are what ages you fast... they are responsible for freckles, aged spots, brown spots, broken caperlies, saggy skin because it breaks down collagen and of course wrinkles.
Stay away from the sun if you are not wearing a broad spectrum sunscreen which means it protects against both UVB and UVA rays. Some sunscreens only protect against UVB.
As for lightening.. look for this ingredient HYDROQUINONE this is one of the most effective skin bleaching agents its used to lighten areas of darken skin such as freckles age/brown spots any kind of hyperpigmentation on the skin.
Along with HYDROXY ACIDS meaning it contains glycolic acid and gluconolactone. It removes build up of dead cells reducing the darkened surface cells. Together they lighten very well.
If you want there are a whole line of lightening whitening products containing these ingredients in Neostrata. And its safe enough for all skin types, men/women, and all ages.
So start wearing sunscreen to prevent getting new freckles from forming and also the sun's uv rays make freckles more dark especially during summer time when rays are at theyre strongiest.
