Freckles are a distinguishing facial characteristic usually seen on the fair-skinned Irish. We find freckles to be beautiful and unique - and in honor of our lovely Heather Hinckley’s one year anniversary at LKRE, we’ve decided to dedicate a blog post to these fantastic beauty marks.  Scientifically speaking, freckles are essentially clusters of melanin which tend to deepen with sun exposure. Those blessed with the freckle trait must be extra careful in the summer months to protect their skin due to extreme sensitivity to UV rays. Interestingly enough, when we flip through the pages of Vogue, Bazaar and W, we find a shortage of freckled faces which we believe is a true shame. We’d like to celebrate the distinctive feature of freckles- to rejoice over stepping outside of the mold and to embrace individuality!
