13 Reasons Why Freckles Are Really Beautiful
By Emily McWilliams from www.diply.com
I feel like most people have a love-hate relationship with their freckles. Yes, they can be a bit frustrating at times, and maybe you've even envied your friends and family for their freckle-free complexion. However, this article is going to focus on the love aspect of your freckle relationship. For starters, you love that your freckles are a part of your unique beauty. If you rock freckles on the daily but have forgotten to show them a little gratitude lately, then these reasons should jog your memory. Personally, I think we've been long overdue for a freckle appreciation article, so let's jump right into it! Here are 13 reasons why freckles are really beautiful. Feel free to share your own reasons with us in the comments!
1. They send a powerful message
Just like this photo of Demi Lovato taking off her makeup, freckles are a representation of the real you. Whether you choose to wear makeup or not, always let your true self shine!
2. Freckles tell a story
Some people have freckles their whole lives, while others develop them as they grow older. Either way, freckles are a part of your unique story and growth.
3. Freckles can share an important reminder, too
Rashida Jones knows that freckles can be the ultimate beach accessory, but these tiny dots can increase or change with sun exposure. Freckles can be a good reminder to cover up and wear sunblock to prevent sun-related illnesses. Thanks for watching out for us, frecks.
4. They can help us with our insecurities
Instagram user @badgirltrix posted this photo with the caption, "I have freckles all over my face and arms. š I really don't like wearing not a lot of makeup but my skin hates me at the moment!". Even though she wasn't sure about sharing this photo, @badgirltrix received tons of positive feedback from her followers who loved the freckle selfie. Embrace those freckle selfies!
5. Freckles are honest
Emma Watson is known for speaking her mind about issues that affect women worldwide. When the actress graced the cover of Porter magazine with a fresh-faced style, she was praised for not covering up her freckles in an industry that heavily alters cover models' appearances.

6. They shatter stereotypes and are a symbol of diversity
Many people associate freckles with fair skin and red hair, but freckles are visible in all skin tones. Models like Adwoa Adoba are trying to rewrite the "freckles narrative" by making freckled women of color more visible in the fashion and beauty industries.
7. Freckles are unique to you
Sure, there are a few Olivas in Hollywood, but Olivia Munn's freckles set her apart from the rest.

9. They take #nomakeup selfies to the next level
People who were self-conscious about their freckles might have avoided social media phenomenon like no-makeup selfies. However, with stars like Kylie Jenner embracing their freckles sans makeup, it looks like freckles might be taking over Instagram soon enough.
10. Freckles are magical
According to Quebec folklore, having freckles on your arm is a sign of sensuality. Hmmm... should I put this fact in my Tinder profile

11. You reveal your freckles when you are most relaxed
If you're like me, beach days, or even just lazy Sundays at home, mean that I don't put on any makeup. It's a way to break from my usual weekday routine, relax, and wear my skin just as it is.
12. Freckles are the ultimate accessory for a natural look
Freckles and beauty marks have been a symbol of natural beauty for decades. Think about channeling Marilyn Monroe or Cindy Crawford when your look at your freckles and beauty marks.
