Can garlic really remove freckles?

In the eyes of many people, garlic is not only a good condiment, but also a health product with great nutritional value due to its own characteristics. Not only that, garlic contains a variety of ingredients that are somewhat irritating, so many people believe that using garlic to remove stubborn spots on the face is also very effective. But can you really use garlic to remove facial blemishes?

1. Can rubbing your face with garlic remove spots?

Rubbing garlic on your face can help remove freckles. Garlic is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that contains about 2% allicin, which has antioxidant properties and, like vitamin E or vitamin C, has anti-aging properties. Therefore, using garlic to rub the spots and chloasma on the face can help lighten them.

2. How to rub garlic on your face to remove freckles

1. Garlic and mung bean mask

Take 3 cloves of garlic, 3 spoons of mung bean powder and appropriate amount of purified water. Peel and wash the garlic, then squeeze the juice directly. Mix the garlic juice and mung bean powder and mix with purified water to make a thick paste. Apply the garlic and mung bean powder mask directly on the cleansed face, leave it on for 15 minutes and then wash it off.

2. Rub your face with garlic

Take a few cloves of garlic, peel them, wash them and cut them. Apply a little saliva on it, stick it on age spots, and rub it repeatedly in irregular directions. Rub until the local skin becomes red and hot, three to five times a day.

3. Precautions for rubbing garlic on the face to remove freckles

1. Some people with sensitive constitutions may have contact allergies to allicin. If they use raw garlic to rub their face or apply garlic juice on their face, they will experience redness, swelling, itching, and even allergic urticaria and other uncomfortable symptoms. Therefore, for these people, it is not suitable to use garlic to rub their face to remove spots.

2. Applying garlic on the face to remove freckles only has the effect of assisting in the removal of freckles. It can only lighten pigmentation and age spots, and it is only effective with long-term use. Therefore, you cannot rely solely on applying garlic on the face to remove freckles. You need professional freckle removal products or the services of a beauty salon to do so.

3. The allicin contained in garlic is somewhat irritating. If you feel discomfort when using it on your face, you need to stop using it immediately and wash it off.

4. The skin around the eyes is more fragile and easily irritated or damaged, so garlic and mung bean masks and garlic facial scrubs should be applied away from the area around the eyes.
