The Fascinating Science Behind Freckles
1. Freckles also go by the medical term "ephelides," from the ancient Greek "éfilis," which translates to "rough spot on the face." In reality, freckles are not rough or raised. They are well-defined brown spots that show up in sun-exposed areas, most commonly on the face, arms, chest, and neck.
2. Typically, freckles don't appear until two to three years of age 👶 (cause babies and young toddlers are usually shaded from the sun and don't accumulate enough UV radiation for freckles to form duh)
3. If you are born with naturally red hair 👩‍🦰, you are likely to get freckles because they are caused by a genetic variant of the MC1R gene that also gives you red hair
4. "Beauty marks," such as moles, can turn into melanoma over time, but freckles are innately benign. Well, the presence of freckles can signal your susceptibility to developing skin cancer, as if your skin is saying to you "Hey, look here! I'm very sensitive to the 🌞"
5. Sun spots, while also are formed from sun exposure, tend to be larger and more irregularly shaped than freckles and take many years to fully develop after repeated sun exposure. Sun spots are seen on a wide range of skin types and tones, and "most commonly begin to appear around age 40
6. Unlike sun spots, which won't go anywhere without treatment, generally, freckles fade during the winter and are more prominent in the summer. Also, freckles tend to fade as you get older, they usually stop developing after you turn mid 20s. And that is one of many reasons that create freckle make-up trend 💄👁👄👁, they make you look more youthful and some people find freckle really cute despite it is consider as an insecure factor for many young girls.
