No, freckles aren’t! But people with freckled skin have to be more careful in the sun, because their skin has less melanin in it (they are often pale behind the freckles and burn easily). So they have less DNA protection from the melanin, and are more likely to get damage that could turn into skin cancer than someone with darker skin has.
Thank u sarah i woz worryed bout my freckles cuz im covered head to toe in freckles and have very very very pale skin but i dont have ginger hair i have dark brown hair, i wear moisturiser than has suncream in it so im always protected against burning. The only problem is i can never get a natural tan!!!
