Good news, redheads! The freckles popping up on your face this summer are actually in style. Makeup and fashion experts have used platforms like TikTok and the runway to show that freckles can be trendy. The message is about embracing natural beauty, but some experts born without the luxury of freckles are taking matters into their own hands. Freckles are a matter of genetics. The sun activates these patches of pigmentation, so they are most commonly noticeable in those who are pale. The good news is freckles aren’t a sign of any issue. For those not blessed with these genetics, a few hacks can help achieve this look. Among some of the most popular freckle trends is using L’Oréal Paris Magic Retouch Temporary Root Spray. Those who dye their hair will recognize this product as a spray-on color for your hair intended to cover those pesky roots between dye jobs. With a small spritz, beauty experts have found this product also creates the dusty freckles of your sun-kissed dreams! Just be sure to spray the product at least 3 inches away from your face (and close your eyes!) for a more natural application. What the Freck? FRECKLES ARE THIS SUMMER’S HOT LOOK!
There’s only one way to make the great outdoors even greater — the campfire. But if your campfire smell lingers on your clothes for days after you enjoy the fire, it can be anything but “great.” Kill the smell with this go-to guide. But first — why does this happen? Fabrics cling to whatever it comes in contact with, and some fabrics, like cotton, tend to cling harder than others. Smoke is light and small, so it can easily penetrate fibers of your fabric, and wood may contain chemicals and compounds that can be very damaging to clothing. Thus, not removing the smoke smell could permanently alter your clothes. Go bitter or go home! Lemon juice and white vinegar are strong enough to cut through stains and smelly particles, but they’re gentle enough to keep your clothing in good condition. There are a few ways you can do this. You can soak your clothes in vinegar and cold water prior to washing. Alternatively, add a splash of lemon juice to your washing machine before washing any smoky clothes. Try adding a little H 2 O. Water is actually a very harsh compound. In a heated form, it has the power to kill bacteria and eliminate gnarly smells. So, if you have strong, lingering campfire smoke smells, try washing your clothes in very hot water. This will pull the smoke from your fabric. However, don’t use this method all the time. As mentioned, water can be harsh — even to the very item you’re cleaning. It’s time to keep it organic. Rather than relying on solutions or water to clean your garments, hang your smoky clothes outside. This is a useful solution for those who have items that cannot be washed at home, but it may not be completely effective. If that’s the case, try rubbing your clothes with dryer sheets to lift the smell, too! Try It: Don’t trust a home remedy with your favorite clothing item. Instead, place a few T-shirts you don’t care about near your next campfire. The following day, try a remedy on that shirt! If you run into any difficulties, consult with a trusted dry-cleaning expert. KEEP THE SMOKE AT BAY REMOVE THE SMELL OF CAMPFIRE SMOKE
Others opt for freckle pens or utilize the old trick of applying eyebrow makeup with a
fine-toothed brush. Pens often come in many different colors, so you can customize your freckle game, while eyebrow makeup is designed to enhance color and fullness of
your face, much like freckles do.
However, if you’re looking at specific brands to create freckles, why not go to the source? Freck Beauty changed the landscape of freckle beauty options when it began in 2017. Dedicated to creating products that accentuate natural beauty and encourage showing off freckles, Freck’s products are also vegan and cruelty free, so you can feel and look good! If you’re a conscious beauty product user, you may be curious about personal safety, too. This is valid because not all are made with ingredients that work for every skin. It’s best to do thorough research to compare brands, read ingredient labels, and try samples first to test on a small patch of skin before using them on your entire face.
