    Default freckles and raw food

    I have noticed that lately I have been getting these dark brown freckles on my arms. I also looked at this freckle that "appeared" a long time ago and it is almost faded. I am rarely in the sun. Do you think this could have anything to do with being raw?

    Where do freckles come from?

    Skin pigmentation...usually from the sun. But you would know if you're getting enough to cause freckles. That's okay tho- freckles are so cute!! I wish I had them.

    I have never in my life heard such positive affirmations about freckles!

    That really makes my day, as I have tons of them and always have. Used to get teased that I stood behind a screen while the person on the other side spray-painted red paint across, LOL.... how silly is that?

    Since going raw last year, I have noticed my freckles getting more pronounced, while the skin around them is more of a cream color, rather then red-sunburned color.

    So, don't despair, there are alot of us red-headed freckly skinned people in this world.

    I haven't noticed anyones' freckles becoming more pronounced since going raw, but if yours are, it could be because your skin is becoming more clear, as you said, more cream, less red, I think that sounds like a good thing.
