Le lentiggini non sono mai state così cool

In recent years freckles are a real trend: a fortune (often unaware) for those who have them and a detail to copy for those who, instead, do not have them. It is a particular feature, which testifies to the delicacy of the skin of those who present them and that often becomes a real particularity, if not, even, a weapon of seduction (so much so that Meghan Markle - champion of the skin positivity - has made a story from DNA beauty inclusive entitled "A face without freckles is a night without stars"). But what are they specifically? Freckles are tiny patches of skin, originating from small accumulations of a substance produced by our body, melanin. This, in some people, instead of lying evenly under the skin, collects in specks, a characteristic typical of those who have light skin or red hair, but not only.

Always a champion of French pride, there are many models and influencers who proudly exhibit freckles and who have never wanted to cover them with foundation and, on the contrary, enhance them and turn them into the strength of their beauty. In Spring/Summer, then, it takes very little to see them shine. Thanks to the tan yes, but also a bright make-up that puts them even more at the center of attention. Proof of this are the super models Ashley Graham, Emily Ratjkowski and Elsa Hosk who on Instagram showed up with their sexy Freckles enhanced only by a touch of enlightenment.

But do you really need a skincare targeted for freckled skin? The answer is yes. Where the skin is thinner, it needs more nourishment. Therefore, to counteract dryness you need to adopt a strict skin care routine focused on hydration. An example of the perfect skincare is: face cream with SPF in the morning, extra rich night cream before going to sleep and a facial treatment once a week as a nourishing mask. Special attention should be paid to UV rays: being in fact like little moles, freckles should be protected from the sun (yes, even in the city!) both in summer and in winter to avoid problems.

And what about make-up? You have to unify the complexion, uniforming the skin tone without covering too much. Opt for a light finish with a BB cream and some concealer in targeted areas, such as dark circles and small skin imperfections. Finally, a veil of illuminating. If, instead, you do not possess them naturally, the most consolidated and used means to have freckles even when you do not possess them is - without a doubt - make-up! To create them you just have a little patience and a brown eye pencil, better if not too dark, especially if you have very light skin.
