The Skin Nerd: What's the difference between pigmentation and freckles? 

Know the difference between freckles and hyperpigmentation, and what you can do.

When are your freckles just freckles?

Love them or hate them, freckles may be unavoidable for you. Well... True freckles will be, but not all “freckles” are created equal. 

Bear with me for a moment while I get nerdy: True freckles are known as ephelides, and they often appear or become more noticeable during times of increased sun exposure. When the sun bids us adieu at the end of summer, they will begin to fade, and the cycle continues.
