Читать книгу Is This Normal? - Darcie Johnston - Страница 17

Dear American Girl,

My friends always tell me I’m really pale, and

sometimes I get teased about my freckles. Can

you please give me advice?

Freckles and fair skin are part of who you are, along with your hair and

eye color. Try letting your friends know you’re OK with the features you

were born with by saying, “I like my freckles” or “I think they’re cool.”

It’s true that you have no control over your freckles, but one thing you

can—and should—control is your exposure to the sun, which can cause

a different kind of freckles and sunburn, too. Use a sunblock with an SPF

of 30 or higher, and stay out of the sun in the middle of the day to avoid

damaging your fair skin. Wearing a hat with a brim that shades your face

is also a good idea.
