Yep, freckles come out due to being in the sun and from having paler skin. The dots are basically skin cells that produce melanonin easier than other cells. People that tan just have more of these cells than pale people (at least, that's how it was explained to me... it's probably more complicated overall).

Anyway, I just couldn't figure out why she said it to me... was just sort of random and I wasn't sure whether to smile like it was a compliment, or shrug it off like a criticism, hehe.
