Jessical Biel

It’s been said that a face without freckles is like a sky without stars. Stars such as Jessica Biel, pictured, Lucy Lui, Julianne Moore and Lindsay Lohan certainly show that a smattering of freckles can be quite irresistible.

Simple solutions:

  • Always protect your exposed skin with a broad-spectrum sunscreen. Look for ones that contain zinc oxide and titanium dioxide.

  • Mineral make-up can cover freckles or give a wonderful natural, even tone to the complexion without feeling heavy or looking cakey.

  • Creams such as Cosmedix Lightening Serum, $120, help fade or reduce intensity of freckles over time.

What do you think about your freckles? Or, do you have any great solutions for minimising the appearance of freckles? Tell us below...

I have freckles, everywhere.... but I do not go in the sun at all now so they have faded a little but still definitely there, they don't bother me and never really have. The only bad thing is that I did used to go in the sun and my skin is definitely worse for it. I find a lot of fair skinned people with a freckly complexion can age more then most other skins.... I tend not to really even notice the freckles now... just my ageing skin !!!! Wished we had had factor 30 when I was growing up.... I also have no desire to use any creams to fade them and find a lot of beauty counters to automatically think I would by telling me about their product that makes them fade....
i have freckles even though i have olive skin, sometimes i wish i didnt have them at all, but i am slowly starting to accept them as a part me.ive learnt u can still have healthy skin that glows and looks fresh as long as u look after it. what u eat is most important and to love yourself. looks like im stuck with them or should i say stuck on me.
My grand-daughter has many freckles on her face. To us it adds to her charm and suits her personality. She is a very active young girl who enjoys outdoor pursuits and sport. Am not sure if it will bother her in years to come, but in the meantime we make no negative comments.
