Some people think freckles are cute and they go so far as to paint fake freckles on their cheeks. Others hate their freckles and see smooth, unblemished skin as the mark of beauty. On this episode of All the F Words, Joanne and Gabi zone in on freckles – what they are, why some of us have them, and how we should take care of them, if we do. You’ll also hear about how Gen Z is all over the fake freckle craze.
