Freckles

Freckles! So I thought I'd do a fun post about freckles. What can we tell about season based on this attribute? Freckles add a warm element, but can occur in people with cool skin as well. Just like red hair, don't make the assumption that freckles puts you into Warm Spring or Warm Autumn. Types of freckles do vary, as well as how easily each season will sunburn and then tan, or not.
