Why do people love freckles so much?

When you have a face full of freckles, you already stand out in a crowd. Some people spend money on bold lipstick or dark eye shadow palettes – you already have an eye-catching feature, and it’s au naturel.

Are freckles considered beautiful?

Freckle-faced folk also have a special gene that our even-skinned counterparts do not, the MC1R gene, which balances skin pigment. While freckles are fabulous, they haven’t always been considered the trademark of a gorgeous person.

What does getting freckles mean?

Freckles are the result of an overproduction of melanin. Melanin is a pigment that gives your hair, skin and eyes (your “complexion”) its color. Melanin, produced by skin cells called melanocytes, protects your skin from sun damage by absorbing and reflecting ultraviolet light (UV).

What nationality has the most freckles?

Freckles occur in people with heritage from around the world. Because they’re often seen in people with red hair, freckles are commonly associated with Ireland and Scotland, where this hair color is common as well.
