Do you have freckles?

[Graham]

Tons, unfortunately I burn easier than most people. Living in Somerset now and the start of the good weather this week, have noticed I am even more vulnerable. #sunfactor50

Not at all, thankfully (I think they're a feminine trait). And many whites do not have them anyway.

I don't think having freckles makes you "whiter". Heck, there are olive-skinned people with freckles.

And? Olive skin is whiter than pale yellowish skin. True nordics are olive skinned.

Yes I do. I got them from my father. Not surprising as his mother had red hair. I get sunburnt easily too. I dont leave the house without sunscreen on even in winter.

Some in my back, shoulders and neck.

Happy and proud not being white then

Not a single one.

I have, even my mulatta grandmother (half portuguese) had.

Yes, but I want to have them lasered off. I use fading creams and make-up to conceal and fade them and high 110 SPF sunblock helps to keep them down in the summer months, but I want all the ones that stay with me all year round to be surgically lasered off. It's impossible to count them all but I hate my freckles.

People who don't have freckles are lucky. It's a myth that people grow-out of their childhood freckles when we're adults and I've also seen other adults with lots of freckles too. Some of them fade away by the time some people are adults, but others keep them for life unless they're surgically lasered off.

I have a few on my legs, some on my hands, a lot of small on on my arms and especially a lot of small light ones on my shoulders, and some small freckles on my face too.

I've seen black and mixed race people here with them too.

There's even special make-up pens sold in department stores and boutiques to paint fake freckles on people who like them and who find them as 'cute' and who want to have them.

(For people who have them and who don't want them, there's gentle fading creams sold in stores to fade their freckles, concealer make-up to conceal them, and also laser sessions to permanently remove them.)

But I've seen genuine freckles on black and mixed race people in real life whilst walking past them in the street that weren't painted-on.

My biracial son doesn't have any and he just has a lovely golden brown natural tan colour to his even skin tone.







It's not that common in darker skin types though and is seen a lot more frequently in pale skin types, such as with this Swedish model example (Elsa Hosk.)


This redhead model example from England (Lily Cole) has lots of small ones on her face. They're also common in Ireland and Scotland too.
