The hormone that causes freckles is estrogen.
As the estrogen decreases it can stimulate the production of melanin which causes freckles and other skin pigmentation as you age.
Freckles suddenly appear due to the overproduction of melanin which is a pigment that gives the skin, eyes and hair it's color or complexion.
The melanin is made by the skin cells that are called melanocytes which protects the skin from sun damage by absorbing and also reflecting ultraviolet light.

A mixture of baking soda and castor oil can help to fade the freckles and works as a natural skin exfoliate.
Most times as you age and get older the freckles usually get lighter on their own and in some cases go away fully.
Freckles are inherited from a variant of a gene known as MC1R which alerts the body when it's exposed to harmful UV radiation.
The dominant gene means anyone with at least one copy of the freckle variant from either of the parents will have freckles.
Freckles are dominant and not recessive as freckles have a dominant inheritance pattern.
Parents that have freckles also tend to have children who also have freckles.
The fruit that is good for freckles is Pomegranate, Papaya, Mango, Gooseberry, Avocado, Apricot, Apple, Watermelon, Kiwi, Tomato, Strawberry, Oranges, Lemon, Cucumber and Bananas.

You can use apple cider vinegar and coconut oil to help fade freckles but they won't permanently remove your freckles.
Apple cider vinegar does fade freckles some and lighten the appearance of the freckles as well due to the malic acid that exfoliates the cells which are darkened due to accumulated melanin.
The freckles ease with time and get lightened with time with the use of apple cider vinegar.

Freckles and even sun spots are not harmful although they can cause self esteem issues.
Freckles are most often caused by the exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun.
Other causes of freckles include Genetics.
Several genes are associated with freckling.
Freckles are small brown spots on the skin and are often in areas that get sun exposure.
In most cases, freckles are harmless and most freckles form as a result of overproduction of melanin, which is responsible for skin and hair color (pigmentation).
