I have auburn hair and freckles, and they dont bother me for the most part except for the ones on my chest. I spent too much time in the sun in Florida when I lived there for 3 years, now Im paying for it. I was able to fade a lot of the sun damage on my face with Resurface, (great product by the way) but my chest is going to require microdermabrasion or something. Theres a fine line between freckles and sun damage/age spots sometimes. I think the ones on my face are cute though, I just wear sunscreen so they dont get too dark!
