Hi Tom
For 1, are you referring to freckles? Or are you possibly referring to liver spots? Or do you mean pimples/acne?
For 2, I'd say the skin is pitted or pocked, or that someone has pockmarks. pocked
People also sometimes have one or more moles. This guy's mole is well-known: Deniro
Of course, you might also talk about scars. Some people have very noticeable bags under their eyes, or a double chin.
People also develop facial wrinkles as they age. The wrinkles that extend outward from the eyes are often called "crow's feet".
How's that for starters? . _________________ "Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power." ~ Abraham Lincoln |

Tom,
Those are not marks but natural pores. As we age, they enlarge (on babies they are invisible), especially if you don't look after your skin. Pores can collect dirts and they will become larger. It bothers many women and there are a lot of products out there to help reduce the size of the pores. Ever heard of the word non-comedogenic? Most beauty products are non-comedogenic nowadays, meaning, they don't block pores.
But actually keeping your skin clean and eating a lot of vegetables is the real remedy. |
