Love Your Freckles Day
November 22 · Level 1 · #2124 of 2238
This is a light, friendly day for celebrating freckles, those little spots some people hide and others adore. The idea is simple: accept how you look and smile about it.
How it is celebrated: people post photos with little or no heavy make-up, and freckled folks swap stories about learning to love them. Some even dot freckles on with an eyebrow pencil to join the club for a day.
Freckles are small clusters of the pigment melanin. They darken in the sun and often fade in winter, and they are commonly linked to variants of the MC1R gene.
