Freckles often
fade or
disappear with
age, while solar lentigines become more common as people get older. You can help keep
freckles from getting darker, and reduce the likelihood that more will appear, by taking steps to shield your skin from sunlight, especially during the summer months.Others are most prominent in the summer due to increased sun exposure, but will
fade during winter or by avoiding direct sunlight.
Freckles that are hereditary may diminish as you age.
Freckles caused by sun damage tend to increase with age.
