Well it's that time of year again when my freckles show up with the sun. Freckles are just melanocytes that produce pigment and are bunched together, rather than being spread evenly on the skin. Maybe we notice them more as we trade in our long sleeve shirts for short sleeved ones. Some people think they're cute on a speckled pup but a beauty flaw on their own skin. I say it's a matter of perspective and beauty lies in the eye of the beholder. Who decided Cindy Crawford's mole on her face was a 'beauty mark'?
What bothers you will manifest itself into a needless worry and distraction. How many lemons have been used to lighten our freckles? It is what it is, so let them highlight your natural beauty. Just as the stars give a twinkle to the night sky, let your freckles give an inner sparkle from within you.
As a kid I had lots of freckles and hated them. I put all kinds of stuff on my face trying to get rid of them. I haven't worried about them for years. A little makeup w/ sunscreen is all you need to cover them up. Mom
ReplyDeleteWhen Rebekah was 6 years old, she came home from school and started scrubbing her face with soap and water. Someone at school told her that she could get rid of her freckles that way. I looked astonished and said, "Why in the world would you want to get rid of something that God let angels put on your face with their special paintbrushes?" She never worried about them again! Go figure.
ReplyDeleteI personally love freckles.

Yup, I've always loved freckles. I had a friend in junior high that was very fair complected and had lots of them. I was envious.
