Freckle removal topic

If your face is covered with scattered freckles, will you accept it and like it from the heart? Recently, ZARA, a Spanish fast fashion brand, released a series of brand-new make-up advertisements in official website. Among them, Li Jingwen, a China female model, became a hot topic in the beauty industry because her face was covered with freckles: Is freckles appropriate? In fact, natural freckles have not lost their beauty, but the spots formed the day after tomorrow have to be prevented.

Reporter observation:

Looking back, Li Jingwen in ZARA's advertisement is completely close to the real state, which can't be called "flawless" skin at all, and the knife-shaped lip line that lipstick can't cover is also far from the "pink toot" lips. ZARA said in the official response that Asian women have not been deliberately vilified. The photo was taken in a natural state, and there was no PS at all. Some netizens in Weibo have given Li Jingwen's photo a triple beauty treatment, such as peeling, thin face and big eyes, which is no different from the common "net red face" on the Internet, and it can't help but make people think deeply.

In fact, the reason why Li Jingwen's freckles are hotly debated is that Asia has always been a country that especially advocates "flawless skin", and both men and women regard a white and flawless face as beauty. Even the majestic portraits of ancient emperors tend to be "white and small", not to mention modern people's admiration for whitening products and beauty filters. Since the appearance of Beauty APP, everyone on social networks has egg-like skin, no wrinkles, no spots, and no skin that can reflect reality. Perhaps, as some netizens commented, today's young people have lived in beauty cameras for too long and can't accept the truth for a while.

The international community prefers to be different.

For freckles on her face, supermodel Li Jingwen once thought about removing them under the aesthetic pressure of "Bai Youxiu" in China. She has publicly stated that from her debut to now, most people in China don't think she is a beauty in the standard sense. She once felt that she did not belong to the "normal" aesthetic, and even thought about freckle. But for this circle, what they need is something fresh and fun for others to remember at a glance, not a copied face.

Indeed, freckles criticized in China are the embodiment of natural beauty and realism in the international fashion circle, because they can show unique personal characteristics and have a strong sense of fashion. Even models with flawless skin deliberately create "freckle makeup" to artificially create "reality", while photographers will not avoid or decorate freckles when taking pictures, but will enlarge the characteristics of freckles and make the whole portrait more unique. In addition, Rianne Van Rompaey, a supermodel from the Netherlands, is unforgettable for her long light orange hair and freckles on her snow-white skin. Are there few models with shallow snow muscles as indifferent and distant as elves in the fashion circle? Freckles, on the other hand, dispelled the sense of alienation on Leona to a certain extent, adding a touch of human fireworks, which is Li Jingwen's unique face that can be remembered by others at a glance.

After 1990, aesthetics gradually changed.

Not only in European fashion circles, but also occasionally in East Asia, less "perfect" beauty grows quietly in the aesthetic gap of "flawless beauty". In the eyes of post-90s young people, their aesthetics have gradually changed and unconsciously moved closer to international standards.

For example, Motora Shirinai, a Japanese mixed-race model and actress born in 1998, has freckles, a dark figure with eight eyebrows and a lazy expression that makes her stand out among a large number of "neon soft girls" in Kawaii. Without those little freckles, Shirinai's natural and true girlish feeling may be greatly reduced.

Another example is the well-known Zhang Ziyi. Under the high-definition lens, she appeared without makeup and boarded the Pirelli calendar, one of the most famous calendars in the world, with freckles on her face. Untreated skin texture, freckles and firm eyes have strong visual tension in black and white tones, and this natural beauty from women is full of a real shock. But after the photos were released in China, I still heard a lot of "Zhang Ziyi's face was covered with spots. What's wrong with her? " Criticism such as "the goddess is still old after all". But it is gratifying that some netizens questioned why people can't be lit and why they can't be old.

Aesthetics could have been more inclusive. "Bai Youxiu" is undoubtedly beautiful. No one can deny that white and flawless skin is a kind of beauty, but it should not be an indisputable beauty, nor should it be the only aesthetic benchmark. However, when accepting real "natural defects", we also need to treat acquired skin problems objectively and scientifically, such as pigmentation caused by various reasons, which is extremely important.

Scientific freckle removal has a coup.

If you want a scientific and reliable freckle removal method, you must first clarify two concepts: first, sun protection is more important than you think; Second, the freckle removal methods declared in the market as "once and for all" and "permanent cure" are basically false. At present, there are two effective, reliable and stable freckle removal methods, which can avoid some "pits" when choosing.

Picosecond laser-fast effect, visible to the naked eye.

Picosecond laser has become a well-deserved online celebrity in the field of skin care and beauty. Thermal damage is low, and melanin can be knocked into a finer state, so the efficiency is higher, but the disadvantage is expensive! The price is probably several times or even ten times that of ordinary laser. Warm reminder: Picosecond needs to follow the doctor's advice. Too frequent and inadequate care after treatment will lead to different degrees of skin damage.

Light spot products-slow effect, but high skin-friendly safety.

In fact, most freckle products on the market have very limited effects. But for people with less serious spots, whitening and freckle removal can also be separated, as long as the products that can improve melanin problems have both freckle removal and whitening effects. Tips: Generally, it takes at least 28 days to see the effect of light spot products, and it needs long-term use. Girls who want to be quick have to take a detour.
