Freckles Are SO Trendy Now… But Where Was This Energy When I Was 12?
You guys. Freckles are officially in. Like, so in that people are out here drawing them on. With actual freckle pens. Because apparently, what once got me weird looks and unwanted skin-care advice is now the pinnacle of effortless beauty.
And honestly? Love that for us. But also… WHERE WAS THIS ENERGY WHEN I WAS A KID?!
Let’s take a trip down memory lane, shall we? Back in the day, freckles weren’t seen as cute or trendy—they were mystifying. I cannot tell you how many times people looked at my face and said things like:
💬 “What did you do, stand behind a cow?” (?????)
💬 “Have you tried lemon juice? I heard that gets rid of them!” (Because obviously, my goal in life was to erase my own face.)
💬 “You’ll grow out of them.” (Plot twist: I did not. And now people are literally buying them.)
But fast forward to today, and suddenly, freckles are the ultimate beauty statement. People want that “I just spent a dreamy summer in the sun” look—without, you know, actually spending a summer in the sun. And you know what? I respect the dedication.
So, in the spirit of embracing this freckle renaissance, I’ve rounded up some of the best Amazon finds to help you get those perfect, trendy little sun kisses. No cow-related incidents required. 🐄
