How do I prevent freckles?
Lately, I've been getting more freckles because I'm in the sun. I try to stay out of it, but when we go out for recess at school, there is no shade. I use an acne medication that includes benzoyl peroxide, so it increases my sensitivity to the sun. I can apply sunscreen, but if I apply it in the morning, it wears off before we go out which is about 1 o' clock. The sunscreen also clogs my pores, so I get even more breakouts. What can I do to prevent freckles from appearing on my face? How do I get rid of the freckles already there, or at least fade them?

Try a moisturizer that contains sunscreen. These are made for your face and should be less likely to clog your pores. I know that since you are at school, you probably can't bring a hat or anything, but you should ask. Its a little irresponsible of schools, now that i think of it, to not allow you to protect your skin and also not offer some place out of direct sunlight...
Don't prevent them or get rid of them. When you're older you'll realize that freckles are quite attractive. I assume from the "recess" part you're 12 or under. Wait a few years. Then you'll see what I mean.
i have heard that if stay out of the sun that they you will see them less. since there is no shade at recess you could bring like a hat to wear. that would block the sun.
try noncomodegenic sunscreen. it wont clog ur pores! i think theres good oil free ones by clean and clear. the SOFT line looks good
invest in a really good sunblock. get one that's non-cosmonogenic, non oily, with a high factor spf thats designed to be used on your face. clinique does good ones. reapply throughout the day. also, wear a hat.
