"Red-haired, red-haired, freckled, killed grandfather with a shovel!» - this is a tease that has haunted many of us since childhood. And although it is related to the male gender, it has hardly bothered anyone since nursery age. After all, this is what all owners of luxurious, golden freckles were called - both boys and girls. As adults, we are much calmer about these "sun kisses" on our faces, but every now and then we dream of seeing our face perfectly smooth, without a trace of red spots on it. What should we do, how to remove freckles and get closer to our own ideal of beauty, drawn in our imagination? We can reason that freckles are a normal phenomenon that only makes girls beautiful. But if you thought the same, then you probably would not be reading these lines. After all, sometimes it seems that everything you've worked so hard to achieve - a thin waist, clear skin, well-applied makeup - is worth absolutely nothing while there's this nasty scattering of freckles on your face. Anyone who sees this every day in the mirror will understand. So let's figure out where these freckles come from and how to fight this scourge.

The cause of freckles

Many girls get small frecklesin early childhood, and this is a matter of genetics. Most often, funny freckles appear in fair-haired and red-haired people. And the lighter their skin, the more freckles of different sizes are scattered on their faces. Unfortunately, the genes responsible for the transmission of freckles "by inheritance" have not yet been identified, and doctors consider them to be just an incorrect skin color. Freckles are called "the kiss of the sun" quite deservedly: the activity of sunlight is one of the reasons for their appearance. Each of us has a special substance in our skin - melanin. It is responsible for the appearance of a tan, for a dark skin tone and for protection from the negative effects of ultraviolet rays. The more melanin - the darker the skin and the more effective the tan. Fair-haired and red-haired girls, as a rule, have thin and white skin, and melanin with great diligence protects it from the dangerous effects of direct sunlight. But, unfortunately, they have very little melanin, and it is distributed unevenly, so it is not able to color the entire skin brown. All it is enough for to protect us from ultraviolet radiation is to place small red pigment spots on the face, which we call "freckles". As a rule, in the summer, when we are all under the hot sun, freckles "bloom" on the face, become larger and their number increases. As soon as the cold weather comes, we stop being constantly exposed to ultraviolet radiation, and our freckles "hide", decreasing in size. The color and number of freckles directly depends on how much melanin a person has.

Prevention of the appearance of freckles

As we have already understood, these harmful freckles areare waiting for us to expose our faces to the bright sun so that they can crawl out and ruin our mood. What can we do about it? Take control of this process! If they love the harmful effects of ultraviolet rays so much, then all we can do is carefully protect our skin from the bright sun.

Skin protection from ultraviolet light

This way, we will not only prevent little redheads from blooming on our face, but also protect the skin from premature aging.

By following this simple rule, you will protect your skin from many diseases - including cancer. Do not go out into bright sunlight without sunglasses. The skin around the eyes is very thin, it especially needs protection. In addition, with properly selected glasses, any of us looks sexy and attractive. In addition to glasses, you can choose a suitable headdress - a cap with a visor or a hat with a brim - the main thing is that part of the face is in the shade. This way you will reduce the chances of your freckles sparkling merrily on your skin.

Changing the diet

It may seem strange, but the appearancefreckles also depend on what we eat. As soon as the skin no longer has enough vitamins, it stops pleasing us with a beautiful, even complexion, and also becomes much more susceptible to the effects of heat and sun. So it is not surprising that a lot depends on proper nutrition - and the intensity of the appearance of freckles too. Therefore, if you want to reduce freckles, focus on foods containing vitamin C. It is found in citrus fruits, apples, sauerkraut. In fact, the list of tasty and healthy foods with this vitamin is very wide. As soon as your body begins to receive useful microelements in sufficient quantities, your skin will immediately "wake up" and stop upsetting you with an unhealthy color and a rash of red freckles all over your face.
