A strange, but effective, remedy for eliminating freckles consists of hollowing out part of a watermelon and filling it with rice. Once the rice have soaked in the watermelon for a number of days, remove the rice, crush it into a paste and apply it directly to the areas of skin affected by freckles. Rice contains important starches and nutrients, while watermelon provides certain antioxidants and vitamins; when combined, they can reduce the appearance of freckles and keep the skin looking young and untouched by the sun!
