We are constantly keeping up with the different trends so you don’t have to! Remember when we all used to use full coverage foundation to hide our freckles? Not any more! Freckles are SO in right now and here are a couple of ways you can help to bring out your natural freckles with a little help from the sun.
Enhance Your Natural Freckles:
Step 1: Exfoliate!
In order to help darken your natural freckles, you want the sun to able to reach them with ease, so scrub away any dead skin that is in the way! Make sure you are using a gentle exfoliating scrub made for your face and not specifically your body, as this may be way too harsh on your skin. However, for tanning the rest of your body, it is CRUCIAL to use a good body scrub to give you a long-lasting, glowy tan. Use our Majestic Pure Arabica Coffee Scrub – All Natural Body Scrub for Skin Care. Luckily, you can use this scrub on both your face and body!
Step 2: Apply Suntan Lotion
You might think this will prevent your freckles, but in reality it really won’t make much of a difference to them. More importantly, it will protect your skin from the damaging UV rays of the sun. We all love cute freckles and a good tan, but we want to avoid damage to our skin and health at ALL costs!
Step 3: Relax!
Sit in the sun for no longer than 30 minutes at a time and remember to stay hydrated! Simply sit back, and let the sun do it’s thing!
Faux Freckles:
