We love freckles… unless they turn into dark spots.

There are freckles you are born with (if so, lucky you — cute!), and there are those that appear from sun exposure. The latter of the two eventually lose their summer charm and turn dark and dull. A little brightening goes a long way! No harsh chemicals are needed: the new Bright Skin Masque by Eminence uses nature’s best brighteners such as bearberry, licorice (yum!), stone crop, and a plant-derived concentrate called Gigawhite.  

Keep only the ones you were born with. —Anya Georgijevic
