"My child can get freckles on a snowy Christmas day! I do know what you're saying but some people are just predisposed to freckles and they're almost impossible to avoid. I had her smothered in factor 50 every vaguely sunny day for ger early childhoos and still she got them.
Call it sun damage, call it genetics.. Your attitude doesn't reflect the reality of many redheads in this country."
Huh???
I am a redhead in this country.
When did I say freckles could be avoided? I wear factor 50. I wear hats and cover up. Every day in summer, I come home with a sunburnt chest and face. I burn through clothes, I burn through sunscreen, I burn when sitting by windows, I burn (via reflected light) when wearing a hat.
I am absolutely covered in freckles. I would have thought that would have been abundantly clear from my last post.
My point is that nobody is born with freckles. It's as simple as that. The people you see with freckles got them from the sun and yes, they are genetically predisposed to do so. I don't know what point you thought I was making, but you definitely missed it.
By the way, do you think that the sun isn't out on Christmas Day? Just because it is cold and grey, sunlight is still there. If you step outside your front door and look around and you can see stuff - ie. it's not pitch black - that's sunlight. So yes, people who are predisposed to freckles can get them on any day of the year.
Has nothing to do with how hot it is, either, though people in this country don't really seem to understand that either
