If you’ve met me in person, or checked out my selfies close up, I’m covered in moles and freckles. They are more apparent in summer and are an array of sizes! I’ve never really thought about them before until a few months ago I took some professional pictures and my moles were airbrushed out. Now, don’t get me wrong, I love the pictures and the brand that the pictures were for. But it had me thinking for a brief second. Are moles ugly?
In my opinion. No. I like my moles. I think they give my face a little distinction and they just make up me. But, I did a little research and the amount of questions on the Internet from young girls about moles and freckles – in a negative light is enormous! E.g. Do guys think my moles are ugly? How can I get my moles off my face? Are moles pretty? The list goes on.
This scares me. I have moles on my face that are noticeable, but they are a part of me. What I do want to say is that obviously confidence has to come from within but remember what makes you unique too. It’s your own unique body that has its own unique look. Nothing is uniform unless you’re baking rolls on Great British Bake Off. (Even then it’s a struggle!) If you’re really sick of your moles (I know mine are pretty small compared to some) I completely understand you wanting to change it and that’s OK. But do it for yourself, not because of what you think people think about you. You are amazing the way you are!
If you do really want to get rid of your moles or you’re concerned about them go and see your GP. If you can’t do that go to a professional skin clinic that can give you some real advice before you make decisions that you can’t change. These people are professionals. They can talk to you about the changes and then you can decide if you think it will make you more confident. If you are EVER concerned about a mole make sure you get it checked out. It only takes a few minutes.
From one mole covered face to another – you’re beautiful!
