Freckles

Whilst in the sun my freckles begin to clearly show for obvious reasons, is there a point the number of or rather density of the freckles show that is telling you you are really doing damage to your skin?

Re: Freckles

Hello,

there is no a cut off point to answer your question. We know that people with frecles, fair skin and blue eyes are more susceptible to sun damage and need to be more careful with sun.

with best wishes,
