That is what they are now promoting is black people need sunscreen. Sunscreen blocks vital production of natural Vitamin D from the sun of the skin of black people. Everyone needs some exposure of natural sun derived Vitanin D. It also helps bones. I don't need sunscreen. Video here on You Tube that shows what white people and other very light people look like under ultra violet light using sunscreen. They look under the ultra violet light and their skin looks like a dark skin melanated black person to the sun. Sun kissed melanated skin. Nothing like it.

I mean its not a rule but black and Asians have certain benefits when it comes to our skin and certain disadvantages too. There are also a lot of white people who go into the sun WAY TOO MUCH, and they werent build for any sun. Asians also stay out of the sun and have better skin care, more fat in the face ( on average) so obviously that would be beneficial when aging. Black people tend to have more oily skin and the melanin helps to hide a lot of issues. Asians tend to have stronger hair on average, hence the whole world uses their hair. But black skin gets dark spots more easily, also keloids are more of an issue for melanated people The white people jumping to call this racist arent used to having negative things connected to being white lol. There are white women who age well, genetics and care.. We all have benefits and negatives to the group we belong to and we are individuals, so no rule is absolute.

Im 56 and most of my coworkers are younger than me. In their 30s and look so much older than me... and they are jealous because they age like a grape in the sun and have turkey gobblers.

God made us all equal no one is better than anyone and everyone ages differently depending on what they eat and there lifestyle

[@brimontXP]

Not according to Deuteronomy 7:6. We are not all equal. We bp never been liked by others. But don't care anymore. This is nothing but a racial caste system in America with all the other races but black on the bottom. Well one day we will be the head and not the tail as the true Hebrews. So let them all celebrate their kingdom until the Most High God puts things back in order. Had our forefathers kept the commandments we would be the head and not the tail. All kingdoms come and will go. Enjoy!

It depends on how thick or thin your skin is. Usually white people have thinner skin naturally which ages sooner. Diet and lifestyle also affect it, too.

[@blkporcelaindoll]

It's not just a white or black thing. It's genetics, lifestyle choices, taking care of yourself. Having skincare regimens, exercising, food intake, plenty of water, sunscreen, knowing your skin as far as going to a dermatologist. It's a lot of factors to stay looking young. Minus these women out here thinking it's ok getting all this surgery Botox and etc which is extra chemicals in your body. ***I'm sorry love, YOU having surgery botox or anything injecting in your body to make you look young is not genetics😂 I used to love hearing the saying "black don't crack". But it's not just that, it's more a long the lines of you don't do drugs and have bad habits. Still moisturized, using sunscreen/or makeup with it and etc. which are the basic of taking care of your skin and looking good.❤

[@In_TheHouse]

True :) but some melanin helps lol

[@brimontXP]

No sunscreen for me. That blocks our melanin from absorbing sun derived natural Vitamin C that is needed for our skin. Melanin is valuable and helps with premature aging. Last I heard melanin goes for $445 per gram. Which is worth more than $395 over the price of gold. Then there is the question of where do they get it, in a lab, or from a person that has it.

[@brimontXP]

​@@In_TheHouseLots help.

[@KushQueen9]

​@@brimontXPabsolutely I can't believe many are falling for this sunscreen BS.

[@Natasha-kg1zw]

Totally agree! It's a lot more than just your skin color and how much melanin you have. I like the saying black don't crack too but that's not always the case. I know black people who don't take care of their skin (drink enough water, wear sunscreen, stay away from stress and strife, etc) and it shows. They look tired and worn out and much older. I also know some white people that have a good skin regimen and take care of themselves and they look younger and really good.

[@petestreet7535]

But the brothas ❤ them tho. Lol.

[@ladyblueamb]

Omfg they have aged horrible. I’m turning 42 in 3 months and don’t look that bad.

[@ca6248]

Let's get something straight; that lady that got "humbled" and looks older for her age is suffering the consequences for being in the sun and smoking! It has nothing do with being white. I do agree that white people age differently than black people. But let's call what it is; she never took care of herself. I mean she literally admits to never having or following a skin care routine. I'm sorry but you can't age gracefully and get "results" if you refuse to do the work. To anyone reading this regardless of color, please look after yourself! Wear sunscreen, sunglasses, and avoid smoking and drinking.

[@user-ij5sp4zv5h]

I was always confused why girls my age who were age were ageing from 23 onwards, while every I knew not white looked like teenagers still

[@LFranklya]

Bone density or lack of plays a role also in the aging process. We have the highest bone density.

[@brimontXP]

Yes our skeletons are more solid. We weigh more than other races even if we are the same in weight. Because we are more solidly built.

[@user-gu6vf3je1d]

Bone density has nothing to do with your skin color 😂 Anyone can have it.

[@LFranklya]

​@@user-gu6vf3je1d Bone density controls if your skin hangs & sags off your face like the scream mask or a bulldog or not, etc. Just raise your hand if you have no bone density a wrinkle face & need a face lift at 30. You're loud & wrong 🤦🏾‍♀️ goggle can help you not me

[@Tunenine]

When you showed your teeth, I cried laughing. It's the way you did it, so cute and funny. Anyway I find that people are shocked when they hear my age which is odd to me because I look the way I look. It's natural me. Yes I take care of myself but not go crazy with it and I make sure I do the small things like wear sunscreen though I hate the feel of it, but most of all like someone said I stay away from drama and if you can't make me laugh than I have no need to be around you.

Pushing 62, be happy and content. I still work full time and when we have office parties this girl gets on the dance floor and before you know it everyone else joins in. If I don’t dance my colleagues are too afraid to get on the floor on their own. So guess who the check will turn up when they organise a party. I am African and as with all Melanated family we can move and it brings happiness and encourages contentment which relaxes your facial muscles and tighten your butt and waistline. Yes at my age I bust out those African moves and by next morning I need A stretcher! Worth it .

42 even my elder girlies use glycolic acid is you start seeing them(fine lines) esp if a lighter skinned bw . DO NOT SMOKE my mistake only for 2 yrs and lots of shea butter...finally DRINK WATER and wear SUNSCREEN

[@brimontXP]

My lighter skinned black sister is 74 and has no lines though just a little skin hyperpigments. She looks 55 to 60 years old. Sunscreen will make natural vitamin D production from the sun in the skin of black people fall way off. But do you.

[@sirenthomas4595]

@@brimontXP glycolic acid helps with hyper pigmentation too. If youre worried about vitamin d levels ask your primary doctor to blood test you. If low they can give you vitamins OR you can go without sunscreen at least once a week. Me personally have found the hot ga sun is not great for my skin so my skin improved with K beauty products so I will keep doing me.
